			Alright, what kind of tongue is
the tongue? What kind of type of
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:08
			tongues are the tongues that are
troublesome? Well, the first is
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			the lying tongue,
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			the tongue that lies with ease.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:19
			Subhanallah Abu Huraira, who tells
us that there are three signs of a
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			hypocrite,
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:27
			and one of those signs either had,
if he speaks he lies,
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			the sign of hypocrisy.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			So what kind of lies might come
out of our mouths?
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			They might be lies we tell out of
fear we don't want to be found out
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			for what's really, really doing.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:48
			They might be a lie that comes out
because we're in the habit of
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			lying. We're not in the habit of
truth telling.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			Might be a lie that comes out as a
joke.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			It might be just a flat out lie.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:08
			And I think it's difficult to face
ourselves in this thing might be
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			an exaggeration.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:16
			Where you you're not intending to
lie, but you end up exaggerate.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:20
			You exaggerate so often that it's
almost as though lying is
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:20
			happening. So we
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			have to ask ourselves, What am I
afraid of? Because very often, one
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:28
			of the reasons we Subhanallah on
this religion, it's just so much,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			one of the reasons we often do
things that are wrong is out of
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			fear.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			Like we lie because we're afraid
of someone's reaction,
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:41
			or we lie because we're afraid of
conflict, or we lie because we're
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			afraid of our image,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:49
			and yet, if we know the reality of
what lying does, we will be afraid
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:53
			of the lie instead of afraid of
the result of of what we of the
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			truth. And so we want to think
about that. We want to make sure
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:01
			that we we fear being a person who
is a liar more than we fear the
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			results of the truth and hold on
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			to that truth. Now, if we see
ourselves in the past having been
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:13
			people of lies or people who lie
or having exaggeration or all of
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			this, what can we do to fix it?
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:21
			Well, one thing is use we'll call
it the Dhikr Allah soap,
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			the law soap,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:30
			to wash away stuff for Allah sak,
for Allah sakula, to wash away
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			what was there.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:41
			And instead of a lie in the
future, to truth, to choose truth
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			to just make sure we're choosing
truth or silence. It's okay to
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			choose silence.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			It's okay to choose silence. There
is a strength in silence.
