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,
