			Sula, hufa defassa fellows and alima after praising Allah Subhana Allah to Allah and recognizing we
can never praise Him as He deserves, and after testifying that none is worthy of our worship and our
devotion, and our love and obedience and the absolute unconditional sense of those two words.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:41
			except Allah and Allah alone without any partners, and after testifying of the Prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was a servant and His Prophet and his messenger and after reminding
myself a new that's a call of Allah to be conscious and dutiful and cognizant of Allah in public and
in private and speech and and actions. And after welcoming my brothers and sisters to the house of
Allah Zilla, Jen, allow me to begin with this question. What is the weight the value of truth and
honesty, integrity in Islam?
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:52
			realize that Allah Subhana who Allah chose and have the truth, the ultimate truth, the ultimate
reality.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:02:01
			And the most truthful is of the meanings of this name as one of his own perfect Divine Names one of
the names of Allah
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:10
			and he said in the foreign woman, Amina Lucha de la and who is more truthful than Allah in his
speech subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:28
			And the single most evident quality known by friends and by enemies and admitted about our Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was what was his title, a solid, the truthful mean, the trustworthy
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:47
			and the single, greatest Muslim to ever walk the earth after the prophets was none other than acidic
abubaker who was acidic, which means the most honest and the greatest confirmer, the strongest
confirmer of truth.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:03:04
			All of these remind us in a way that should never be blurred in the worldview in the value system in
the lifestyle and conduct of the Muslim. How important and how valuable truth and honesty and
integrity are.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:14
			Scholars even talk about the wisdom or one of the wisdoms why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam would be sent in Mecca and not Medina, what's the difference?
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19
			Mecca had no hypocrites, Mecca.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:04:10
			You either were his follower, and were you committed yourself to the truth, you recognize that you
would undergo any persecution whatsoever, and still abide by it and be loyal as an adherent to it or
your ejector. And if you were rejected, you would not except for yourself to hide that you spoke
what you believed in you believe what you spoke, even if it costed you your life, you are not going
to get caught dead to facing it. I am your open opponent. And in that sense, there is a benefit that
at least you know what you're dealing with, you at least know what is the problem in front of you.
And that is why By the way, valuing truth in our communities in our families is so important because
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:20
			if we do not celebrate truth and rewards for truth, and discourage this honesty, we won't even know
the problems so as to remedy them.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:45
			One parent told me once that yes, Salah is the most important thing in Islam, that you need to keep
your children to. But for me, I tell my kids, you being honest, when I tell you that you pray is
more important to me than you praying. Right? Because the foundation if you if I don't know that
you're not praying, I can't help you. Start praying.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:59
			When trust is lost, you don't know what you're dealing with anymore. It was such a wise method and
he would reward for it. He tells you if you tell me you did not pray, I'm going to be upset, but I
will not punish you this time. But if you lie
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:05
			To me and tell me you prayed, I'm going to be so much more upset, I'm going to be so disappointed.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:11
			Because you need to know what you're dealing with, to be able to engage it.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:57
			So this truth was so important that even the leaders of this oma at a time when there was so much
political turmoil, they could not get caught dead stepping outside of it, they held themselves to
it, even if they were wicked people on other fronts. And the most iconic example of a butcher,
someone who is ruthless, someone who's bloodthirsty is a judge of news of who was a man that was
such a blunder. He was Savage, he killed hundreds of 1000s of people. He was a man that killed some
of the Sahaba of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. But he was a man that was known that all
that he thought he was doing the right thing. He would never lie, because we all know as Muslims
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:01
			that a Muslim doesn't lie. He is honest, and doesn't say the wrong thing.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:10
			They even mentioned that one time one of his objectors stood up in the hood. And he said to him who
was delivering the sermon,
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:48
			he said to him, what about the Salah, get down, already stepped down the hook, but it's too long, a
solid Latin of the rock or a bucola Abu Salah should not wait for you. And your Lord will not excuse
you. So he imprisoned the man and his family came to try to intercede and they pleaded insanity.
That guy's insane. Let him go cut him a break. And so he asked the man, Are you insane? He said, I
always do. Billa I seek refuge with a law that I claim that Allah made me insane when I'm not
insane. So and had judge despite this man offending him, released him
		
00:06:50 --> 00:07:30
			for his honesty. On another occasion, he arrested two other rebels in his eyes. And one of them
said, How can you execute me when I defended your mother for you? He said my people back home in my
town when they were fed up with you. They were insulting you left and right on every altar and
pulpit every opportunity. And then they began to even curse your mother. And I said to them, leave
his mother out of it, say what you want them without hijab, but leave his mother. So when had judge
turned to the other men, the two that he had arrested, he turns to the other one and said to him,
did you defend my mother? He said no. He said, why not? He said because I hated you too much. I
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			couldn't get myself to do it.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:41
			So he released the first one because he owed him a favor defending his mother. And he released the
second one for his honesty in the face of death.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:08:30
			And so I recall these for our need to re centralize them right to revive them amongst us. As the
world proceeds towards the Day of Judgment, it will be plagued more and more with distrust this
honesty on the political front, on the entertainment front pranksters everywhere with their veto
videos all over the place. Also financial instability will get more and more people to give into
their greed and try to cut corners and scam others at any opportunity. If we allow ourselves to get
desensitized to the value of truth in the eyes of Allah and His Prophet, and this Deen and our
heritage, then we have given up our vaccine to that plague, we have given up what Allah gave us to
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:46
			protect us no matter what happens in the world. And so we have to be aware of this and we have to be
careful the only solution honesty, no matter how much it hurts, you will always come out on top,
even if you cannot see how you will come out on top for being honest.
		
00:08:48 --> 00:09:01
			Use of Ignace valve rahimullah one of the top there and he echoed the sentiment that he said lol
they are said koala georgene lebara. If honesty were placed on a wound, like an injury, it would
cure it.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:42
			You know, if you put the right thing on an injury, anything you put on injury will hurt. But if you
put a right the right thing on the injury, it will hurt to then heal. That is what he's saying the
truth might pinch, but it will cure. The truth is so potent, that it fixes whatever it's brought
close to it could even be used as medicine. He's saying this as an expression. And Omar rhodiola.
And before him echoed the sentiment and he said to the people, for me to be held back for being
honest, and that will hardly ever happen. He said that for me to be held back for being honest. And
that will hardly ever happen is more beloved to me than for me to be advanced like to gain an
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:59
			opportunity by being dishonest, and that will hardly ever happen. It's so momentary, the pain of
honesty and the the cost of dishonesty, the plus costs that we assume in this honesty. That is why
cabinet pneumonic reviews
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:38
			Mohan was one of the three that were forgiven for staying behind the Battle of tabuk. Because they
were honest, you should know his story. They said well, we'll catch up with the army will catch up
with the army was harvest season and they didn't want to miss out on their their revenues. Few days
I'll pull things together and I'll catch up. And they never went out. All of the hypocrites came and
lied to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam about one excuse or another. And then he called cab.
And he said to him, jasola if I was sitting in front of anyone else on Earth, I would have been able
to convince him that I had a legitimate excuse local duty to jendela I'm a person that has been
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:42
			given a unique ability to persuade, he was a poet, extremely articulate man.
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:53
			He said to him, but I fear that if I say something to make you pleased with me, Allah will cause you
to be angry with me.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:11:29
			See, I want to see past the moment he says and I believe that if I am to speak to you truthfully
now, this may give me a reason to hope for the outcome. Eventually, it'll be in my favor. While
lahemaa can eliminate Earth well, law had no excuse. And that is what saved him about the allowed
Cylon, the hypocrites their hearts blackened further they thought they were fine because the
Messenger of Allah said Alright, go away knowing they were dishonest, and cab and the other two were
eventually forgiven after 50 days of reprimand by Allah azza wa jal
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			a whole lot more Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:51
			Al hamdu lillahi wa salatu salam ala man la vida de la la la la la sharika shadow Anna Mohammed and
Aveda who wanna be you who are solo.
		
00:11:53 --> 00:12:33
			And in order to reinstate this value of truth of honesty, among us Muslims, we should notice in the
incident of cap and the the insight we just heard from Omar and that statement, abusiveness belt and
all of these gems and wisdoms that it was because they saw past the immediate and they saw past
people, they realize that there are outcomes to every decision and there is a law behind his
creation. So panna cotta Allah seeing what will you do in this moment at this crossroad. So they had
the utmost regard for Allah, not for the people.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:13:17
			That is the solution. You know, when you read with chlorophyl keytab, he is married and soilless
medium and mentioned to them in this scripture, the story of Israel in net who can or Sadiq Khan,
while he was a man that was always keeping his promises, truthful, and his promises, what cannot
assume an obeah he was a messenger prophet. The historians passed down generation after generation
that is married was known of his truthfulness. alayhis salam is that he was known to stay in his
place when he missed an appointment. I know that's a difficult example for many of us, our
appointments, our timing, he would stay in his place for a full day and night for 24 hours to make
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:39
			up for the fact that he didn't keep his appointment. Why nobody comes back at night, especially back
before electricity. Because it was regard for Allah to show a loss of a gel, how committed I am in
front of you, that I'm going to opt for the less likely chance of the person coming back and make
myself available to them. Because I wasn't when I first promised.
		
00:13:40 --> 00:14:23
			We can become those people known for our surgical honesty. Not to become like pretentious, but that
person, if I say it's 10 o'clock, he's gonna be here at 958 I know him. He's a sidecar. I mean,
right? to reproduce reflections. 1.5 billion Reflections of a subject I mean, out of his salado
setup. The last thing I want to say in this minute and a half. Why do people lie to children? This
is known and common in every civilization past and present. Why do people lie to kids? Because they
don't have regard for kids. Like it's not a an equal, right? Little kid. So you don't think you need
to have that much respect for the child? That is why even the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:42
			even in his time, he told the most honest generation, what are you going to give him when a mother
said to her child, come here, let me give you something. He said, What are you going to give him
call it heavy tomorrow. She said these days. He said were you not going to do that like karate, but
he gives back one lie would have been written against you.
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:59
			You see, he called their attention back to it's not about the recipient, the audience of the lie.
It's about how much regard you have for yourself, your accountability when you're honest. And that
is what I want to say. We just need a few doses of honesty to get us started.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:41
			Just be honest with yourself. You know, so many people say I did the wrong thing because I'm having
an issue, you know, and they pathologize the issue, they psychologize the issue. And I refer people
to therapists all the time, I recognize the importance and the value of mental health, but we cannot
turn everything into an excuse that I have an issue. No, maybe we have a moral weakness. Maybe we
have, you know, an uncontrolled appetite. Maybe we eat too much. Maybe I'm slacking, right? Be
honest with yourself, whatever you commit yourself to. Whatever it is, just be honest with yourself,
have regard for yourself. I said, I'm going to pray my five. There's going to be a pinch in the
		
00:15:41 --> 00:16:02
			beginning, but I'm going to be praying my five I'm going to add which I'm going to add to it. It's
going to hurt honesty in the beginning hurts, but then it heals. It is the vaccine as they say. It
has a pinch, but the benefits are countless. And that is why the Prophet alayhi salatu wa sallam
said and with it I close, I lay combusted stick to honesty for inner Sitka DLL.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:45
			Honesty is what leads you to righteousness while in the right direction and righteousness leads to
paradise. We're in our rural areas where to * Ross, Sitka hat activating the lives of deca and a
person will begin to be honest and insist notice the word insist on being honest. They just squeeze
sometimes and insist on being honest until he is written with Allah as one of the so diffs May Allah
grant I send you a pathway, up the staircase of study if they may Allah right this among the so the
Athene May Allah forgive us for our sins. May Allah Subhana Allah Allah protect us and our families
from every evil. May Allah make us a people known for our honesty known for our integrity, known for
		
00:16:45 --> 00:17:28
			our punctuality. May Allah zildjian make us people who uphold our trust and have regard for him and
regard for his creation and self regard for ourselves and our dignity. Aloma Amin. Aloha masahito,
