			Will lead to piety, righteousness,
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			and good deeds.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:28
			And
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			the person will keep telling the truth until
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			he is written with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			as a teller of the truth
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			and vice versa.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			So a Muslim
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			can be anything except Halal because
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			a liar is the opposite of a Muslim.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			A Muslim is the teller of the truth.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			And when your insight is in agreement with
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:35
			your looks or appearance. So this is telling
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:35
			the truth.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:24
			You have to be honest with Allah Subhanahu
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:24
			Wa Ta'ala, which means you shouldn't show off.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			If you give someone a chance,
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			you do it.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			Not that the people will say, oh, he
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			is Jawadu Kani, he is a generous guy.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:36
			You do it for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			purely for the sake of Allah.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			And this includes, of course, being honest with
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			your family members, friends, and the people in
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:56
			the street,
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			and in your in your tax form when
		
00:06:59 --> 00:06:59
			you,
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			apply for taxes. You have to tell the
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:02
			truth regardless.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			Number 3, being honest with yourself.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			We are all humans.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			We have defects in our personalities and character.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			If you know, for example, that you backbite
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:16
			people,
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:18
			you have to recognize
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:22
			this defect in your personality and therefore, Allah
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:25
			will help you get over this problem.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			If you don't pray on time, you have
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			to be honest with yourself
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala exalts prophets in the
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:08
			Quran
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:12
			and describes them as tellers of the truth.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			And this is one of the prerequisites
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			of prophethood in Islam. A prophet has to
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:19
			be honest and truthful
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:20
			with the people.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			You have to tell the truth no matter
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			what.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			You have to tell the truth no matter
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:02
			what.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			And as I say in Arabic,
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:08
			the truth will set you free.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			You will be safe if you tell the
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			truth. Because sometimes we think if you lie
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:14
			to our parents,
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			we're not gonna be punished.
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			If we lie to the principal and the
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:19
			school,
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			they will not be disciplined.
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:41
			The
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			and we stayed behind.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			Maybe you will be mad at us for
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			a few days or a few weeks, but
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:58
			Allah
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:00
			will
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			tell you reveal to you that we're telling
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			the truth, so you'll forgive us.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			And Allah gave us freedom.
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			We were poor and Allah
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:09
			made us rich.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			We were the tallest of the low and
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13
			Allah
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:14
			honored us
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:43
			I made this, I made this, I made
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:46
			this, not even talking to them about slavery
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:49
			and about poverty and about all that stuff.
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:50
			What for?
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:53
			So his brother told him, be quiet.
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:56
			Allah madam you to this honorable lady because
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:57
			of the truth,
