Moutasem al-Hameedy – In The Light Of The Quran – 16

			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh Welcome to a new episode of In the light of the Quran.
Today we have a new light, it's very wonderful for every Muslim, it's very important for us from the
individual level. And it's very important for the Muslim society and Muslim communities all around.
And actually, it is very important for humanity in general, because this is a wonderful aspect of
the Muslim character, and we shouldn't be known for it. It was the reason for the spread of Islam in
so many countries around the world. But unfortunately, at recent times, Muslims have done away with
that, but we will try to restore it and get it back to what it was. It's supposed to be in our lives
		

			as Muslims, our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him was always known for his wonderful
characteristic. It is very important for the dealings for the way it's actually very important for
us in dealing with our Creator, very important for us in dealing with ourselves and the people
around us is one of the most important aspects of the Muslim character. It is actually this wisdom
today. And this slide is taken from sauna to zap. The sort of hazard is very strong, and very
powerful. And it talks about an important event that happened in Islamic history when the
disbelievers wanted to destroy the Muslims, but Allah gave victory to the Muslims. And Allah
		

			concluded the soil with this wonderful advice. very strong, very important, important wisdom and we
have to learn it and live our lives with it with the light of this of these verses. Let's start with
the recitation. inshallah, we will take the meanings and the lessons out of it.

			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh Welcome back. So today's versus this wisdom that we are
going to deal with inshallah is very, very important for us. And actually, it's one of the basics of
the Muslim character. And it is very important because it really, it adds a lot of strength in the
Muslim character, to the, to the good image, the real image of the of Islam and Muslims as
individuals and as a society as a community in, in general. Allah says in these verses, and he
commands the belief is and we know this command is very important when Allah starts talking to the
believers, biased by Yeah, you have Latina M and O you who believe or believers, that's a very
		

			important and very beautiful summoning from Allah subhanaw. taala is calling us to something very
important, very necessary in our lives. So Allah says, Oh, you who believe speak the truth. Speak
the truth, what a strong word This is. Speak the truth we should be people of truth. We should only
utter what is true. We should not utter falsehood, we should not lie, we should not deceive, we
should not act treacherously, because we Muslims have been dignified, have been favored over all
others, with our ability, with our determination to stick to the truth. And actually, the good thing
about truthfulness and saying the truth, exactly a mirror. For your heart, it reflects what is
		

			exactly in your heart. So what's in your heart will always show especially on your tongue. So, if
you are truthful, if your heart is truthful, then everything you say will be true. You will only say
what is true, you will never lie, no venture or debt light. But if you have some kind of deception
inside inside your heart if you are not 100% truthful when it comes to faith, what you harbor in
your head
		

			hearts in your chest, it will show you actions. So, you will have some lies, you will definitely
accept some lies. And this is some some important aspects in the human life in the human nature,
that you know, our actual outward manner is a reflection of our inward manner, or what it needs some
scrutiny and you can tell what kind of person this is. Because what's in the heart shows in the
actions and on the tongue. If a person is truthful, always speaks the truth, then you know that
this, this, this man's heart is excellent and is truthful. But if this person tells lies, if he
stands for false witness, you can tell that this person has some illness in his heart, or her heart.
		

			So Allah subhanaw taala is telling us all you who believe, speak the truth. Always in all
situations, whether you're in hardship or in ease, speak the truth. Be courageous, be brave, to say
the truth, speak the truth, no matter what the consequences are, because a Muslim never lies. A
Muslim never does to tell a lie, because the heart the pure heart does not go with a lie, cannot
accept the lie. The pure soul does not, cannot tell a lie. Never ever, so Winston's always tell the
truth. And the prophets lie. Selim told us that truthfulness is very important in Islam, when he
said that a person tells the truth and strives to tell the truth. Imagine you strive to tell the
		

			truth because we know our self always causes us to what is to the temporary pleasures of this life.
Sometimes, we tend to lie why to save ourselves from embarrassment to save ourselves from a
difficult situation.
		

			So what we do we start lying,
		

			we tend to lie we are inclined to lie to save ourselves, or to get away from hardship or a difficult
situation. So this is why Prophet Mohammed says, the one person actually
		

			speaks the truth and says the truth and he strives to speak the truth, he strives to speak the
truth. So this is why he says that
		

			truthfulness leads to righteousness, truthfulness, in a society.
		

			That truthfulness leads to righteousness, it leads to piety, it leads to towards being a better
character better Muslim, you see, so truthfulness builds your character builds your faith
strengthens, strengthens you as a Muslim individual. And this should be our aim. And this should be
our goal. So we see the wisdom of today, the light of today, no matter what happens to you, always
tell the truth. Always Be courageous. Be strong enough. And know that when you tell the truth, Allah
will be with you, Allah will be with your helper, and your supporter. But if you tell lies, then
maybe you might pass the buck. Now, you might get away with what you did. But people will know you
		

			as a liar. And Allah will expose you and ultimately caused you to face the consequences of your
life. So Winston's Don't lie. So programmers lie he was seldom said that truthfulness leads to
righteousness and a person and and righteous this leads to paradise. A person tells the truth and
strives to tell the truth. This is the point. Telling the truth is not always easy. It takes a lot
of effort, takes determination, takes a psychological readiness and and a strength of character to
tell the truth, no matter what the consequences are. So he says, a man tells the truth and strives
to tell the truth until he's written
		

			in the records with Allah subhanaw taala as a truthful, imagine, you are called on the Day of
Judgment, as so and so the truthful, that's a great honor, that's a great privilege.
		

			Then Prophet Mohammed Salah Salem says that a lying leads to evil character, and leads to indecency,
and indecency and evil character lead to the Hellfire, a person tells lies and strives to tell lies,
and even telling lies is not always easy. But you have to some kind of push yourself to to life
until it becomes some kind of second nature. And when you reach the stage, it's a very bad
situation. Some people couldn't live with that line, they just keep playing and lying and like, they
cannot live without that. And that's really evil, they have to work hard on themselves. So a person
strives to to light until he's written with Allah as a liar. Imagine someone called in the Day of
		

			Judgment, so and so the liar. We don't want to be like that. That explains and he says in these
verses, that if you tell the truth, Allah will correct a lower rectify your actions. Allah will
		

			bless your actions, Allah will correct them and show you the truth when it comes to actions. Imagine
saying the truth will improve your actions will improve your character. So if you want a few, some
people feel that weak. They can't do
		

			So Russia says they cannot do more press night because they can't do more fast. They cannot be good
to the people. They cannot give more wealth, more money for the sake of Allah. If you want to
increase in that tell the truth, you will be strengthened, you will become stronger in faith. And
Allah will rectify your deeds and will correct them will bless them for you, and it will increase it
will doubled your reward. Then Allah says, so he will, if you tell the truth, love will bless your
actions and increase them good righteous deeds will increase them and Allah will forgive you your
sins. Imagine how important it is to be truthful, to tell the truth No matter what happens.
		

			Then Allah says, whoever obeys Allah is Muslim gentlemen, indeed he has attained a great success. So
great success is in following Allah and His messenger. And Allah says, We have offered the trust
which is the religion of Islam, we have offered this to the heavens to the earth, and to the
mountains. But they refused it because they could not bear this burden. But man took it upon
himself. Imagine human beings accepted to see the truth. So we always human beings, we tend to take
on our shoulders more than what we can they're more than what we can deal with more than beyond our
capacity, then we recognize that we have overburdened ourselves. So then Allah describes the human
		

			beings and this is human nature, man has two instinctive traits, man is unjust, and he is ignorant.
So these are two illnesses that are very, very evil, and the way to correct them, or two, when it
comes to being unjust injustice, the way we can treat it is by increasing in worship Allah,
softening our hearts. This is how we can deal with this list. The second illness which is ignorance,
we can deal with that by seeking more knowledge. So the way to get out of the illnesses of the heart
is to seek knowledge and to increase in worship and sincerity to Allah. This is how we can raise
above the basic level of the human, self or of the human nature, we can cultivate ourselves, improve
		

			ourselves, so we tell the truth. We obey Allah and His Messenger, we learn to rid ourselves from
ignorance, and we have sincerity and do more acts of worship in more sincerity for Allah in order to
deal with the unjust nature that we are created according to Allah says Allah made all of these the
wisdom behind all of this, that Allah punishes the poly polytheists males and females and the
		

			hypocrites and a lot of rewards the tankful servants, they believe in servants and the law is
Forgiving and Merciful. So the wisdom is for us, let's speak the truth wherever we go. No matter
what happens, you speak the truth and be real Muslims. Now until we meet this time with another
light from the Quran another wisdom. I leave you in the care of Allah subhanaw taala Salaam Alaikum
