			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, my beloved children Subhan Allah today I want to talk
about lies. When someone tells a lie, what happens? Do you know that the angels, Allah sets them
around us to protect us. So at any given time, I have angels around me, they're known as angels of
mercy. And angels have protection, you need to know nothing can harm you, nothing can attack you,
you don't need to be sad, and you don't need to be afraid, because Allah has set around you certain
angels. Now they are angels of protection and angels of mercy, those are a bonus that Allah gives
the believers and every time you read ayatul kursi. And you read your last two or three sutras of
		
00:00:44 --> 00:01:24
			the Quran, Allah had pulled out all the bearable fella could have been asked, If you know them, and
you read them, then the angels protect you, Allah sends special angels to look after you. And these
angels are excited to be with you and around you. So that's a very nice thing, nothing can harm you,
and nothing can attack you. Nothing can cause issues with you insha Allah because you're protected
by Allah through these particular angels that Allah sends to look after you. But when you do
something bad, especially when you lie, then these angels, they're affected by this, and the angels
go away, because spiritually, your mouth starts smelling, there is a little smell that comes out of
		
00:01:24 --> 00:02:04
			your mouth that you can't smell. But actually, it's a spiritual stench, you know, stench, meaning a
bad smell. So what happens, the angels are affected by it, and they start going away. So I wouldn't
like the angels around me to disappear to go away, I want them to be there. And I want them to
always be around me and I need protection, because people might try to harm people might try to do
things, they can't do it when Allah doesn't allow it. So I need those angels, I won't lie. And I
won't lie, because it's not nice. It's not the right thing to do. If we were all liars, what would
happen, we would cause a lot of problems amongst ourselves. And people would start fighting amongst
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:44
			each other because they would be lying to each other. So what's important for us to know is tell the
truth, the truth will actually cause these angels to remain with you. Even if some people don't like
the truth. You have to say the truth. we as believers, we're taught to speak only the truth in a
nice way, in a very polite way. But you must speak the truth. If you've done something bad. You can
own up to your father or mother, your parents or someone who loves you. And you can tell them,
please don't react in a bad way. Because when you are my father or my mother, when you react in a
bad way to me as a child, when I tell you that I did something wrong, or I made a mistake, then it's
		
00:02:44 --> 00:03:18
			going to be hard for me to tell you next time because you get so angry, you get so crazy. So tell
your parents, please don't get too angry with me. Don't get so crazy with me. Yes, sometimes, I
might need a little bit of a punishment. You know, we have a naughty corner. In my house, we have a
naughty corner. And sometimes when the little ones are naughty, they have to spend a little bit of
time, go into the naughty corner, have a seat there. Think about what you did think about why it was
wrong and why you shouldn't do it. And when you're ready, I will come and bring you or take you out
of that corner. And after a while I'll take them out of the corner and ask them did you think about
		
00:03:18 --> 00:04:02
			what you did? Yeah, I did. Was it right? No, it was wrong. I won't do it again. Thank you. You've
achieved Mashallah. So in the same way, lies is something Allah doesn't like. So Allah Allah had the
meaning in Allah you hibou Allah doesn't love. Allah doesn't guide those who lie those who are
transgressors, and so on and so forth. One of the things is lies, so we shouldn't tell a lie. We
should speak the truth at all times. And we should be very polite. The prophets are seldom. He was
brilliant. He was the best of everyone. He was a lovely person. He always smiled and he always gave
a good impression to people. Do you know when he was young, he never ever lied. He grew up in such a
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:46
			community that knew him as the truthful one, the honest, the trustworthy, he was honest, honest,
meaning never lied. He was always straightforward. So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam was given
Prophet would By Allah, he was protected. He didn't lie. That was a great quality that people knew
the sky. No lies sallallahu alayhi wa sallam May peace and blessings be upon him. And may Allah
bless every one of us with peace. So if you want that peace, Don't lie. You'll be known as a
truthful person, this person tells the truth. And yes, I do know sometimes our friends are a little
bit mischievious they have a little bit of issue here and there. Don't worry, Allah is great. Allah
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:59
			bless you all my beloved children. Remember the lesson today. And remember, we must make sure that
we always do our best when it comes to doing the right thing. Insha Allah azza wa jal I hope you're
my van is going
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:13
			Well, if you're listening to this during this Ramadan because it's recorded in Ramadan, if you're
listening to it right now, leave me a message on my YouTube channel of demonic official and I'll try
to at least acknowledge it by the will of Allah.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:53
			Don't lie like I said, speak the truth and you'll be known as a truthful person, you get the
blessings of Allah, Allah will not be displeased with you, the angels come and they will not run
away the angels of mercy and protection will enjoy your company. And at the same time, you will be a
very dignified person, a lovely person, a nice person, everyone will love you. And sometimes maybe
your friends might not like you when you speak the truth because they were guilty. They didn't want
you to say the truth. Now you don't spy on anyone. We don't spy. We're not spies. We don't spy on
anyone. But if you have to say something, speak the truth. If you don't have to say something you
		
00:05:53 --> 00:06:08
			don't need to say you can leave it out. And you achieve the blessings of Allah I love you so much my
beloved children and looking forward to seeing you again in our next episode until then Assalamu
alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
