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.
