Yahya Ibrahim – Guidebook to God #17 – Truthfulness with Allah, yourself, and others

			honesty, truthfulness, Subhana, Allah Beautiful, beautiful sentiments assumed to be a person of
substance and truth is one of the great ideals and Muslim characters that makes us from the
righteous that makes us from those who are loved by Allah, loved by humanity and loved by the
angels. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was sent with a message that was built upon
truthfulness and upon sincerity of heart, he was referred to even before his message was delivered
to him by the people of Porsche as a sodic. Ameen, the one who was truthful in his words, truthful
in his actions, truthful in his intentions, and therefore was trusted and trustworthy in a society.
		

			One of the things that has departed from our upbringing as Muslims is the importance of being
truthful. And slip is one of the pathways to leading us to true worship of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
Before we can become sincere worshipers of Allah, we must be sodic with a loss of Hana with Allah.
Notice when Allah subhanaw taala speaks about truthfulness, he speaks about it not just in something
you possess, but as a totality of our experience. So a law tells us to speak the truth, to act with
truth to be Qunu Masada can be with those who are truthful, to turn away from those who are
untruthful, to not be in company of those who are not truthful, that our truthfulness should be
		

			demonstrated with evidence, and of the evidence that we are is our charity, our sincere advice to
others. All of those are different elements of what it means to be truthful. When we speak about
honesty, truthfulness, of purpose, it's actually three important levels. The first level is in the
heart. And that's the intent and sincerity SubhanAllah. You could say as many words as you want, you
can do as many things as you want. But if in your heart, you're not believing in what you're doing,
if you are not committed in it, then it's it's it's for naught, it's for no purpose, and it's of no
reward with Allah subhanho wa Taala. If it's a spiritual pursuit, you're seeking, the silica that is
		

			in the heart is that you have a determined intent, and that there is a reason for why I'm doing what
I'm doing a reason for why I'm saying what I'm saying hypocrisy, of course, a hypocrite munafo, its
greatest telltale sign is dishonesty, the opposite of truthfulness. So the prophets I send him says
in the very famous howdy idea to the Mona Lisa love, the sign of a hypocrite. It's, it's the three
things either had death that Kevin, the first sign is that when they speak, they have lied, meaning
that when they speak, it shows the betrayal of their heart has come out in their words, and most of
their own amount. They say that people who, who lie with their tongue, it doesn't begin with their
		

			tongue, it actually begins with the insincerity of heart. Because if I felt that you were somebody
who I should respect, if I felt you were somebody who I should hold in honor, if I felt that you
were somebody who I should have regard for I would not ever dare to mistreat you, and abuse you by
telling you a lie to your face. And sometimes your parents, my parents, you know, they would get
upset with us. Sometimes our friends, our family, our loved ones, our teachers, our our husbands,
our wives, they get upset, because it's not just that you lie, but it was that you lied. And that
lie was because you did not respect our position in your life. And it's almost as if you say you lie
		

			to my face. You looked me in the eye and you spoke those words, which means that you don't respect
me. It's not about what you lied about. But it's the intent of your heart in that word that you
misused and misspoke and shared with me that should not have ever been spoken. So the truth of lying
is that it begins in the heart and it begins because you've underestimated the person in front of
you as having any weight in your life. And you've assumed that they're not important and therefore
the hypocrites at the time of the prophets I send them they did not value a lot they did not value
Mohammed's I set him so they felt comfortable lying and cheating and pandering, even saying that
		

			they were believers when inside they did not have faith. The second attempt of lying, of course
comes in the words we choose, not just in what we say not just in how we say it or what we say. But
in the very fact that we have spoken words that are of deviance and of dishonesty. And it means that
we have taken Liberty with those who we were ordered to maintain good ties with and when a person
speaks in that way, speaks at dishonesty, whether that dishonesty with the tongue
		

			is an exaggeration, or an admission? Some people they don't understand that lying is not just
inventing something. It's not just that I told something that's a whopper, you know, like a big lie,
it has no basis in reality. No lying can also be that you exaggerated. You added what shouldn't have
been added, you shared what wasn't actually there. And it's not that it had no root in reality, but
you shared something that really was beyond what should have been spoken. Also, that you've
neglected something you've held something back that really was material to the discussion, that you
should that you know, there was something that really should have been spoken, but you were up to
		

			sieve and obstructionist and you held back something that was important to be declared and lying
therefore in with your tongue takes on those two characteristics, which is the addition and the
subtraction, not just the fabrication. The third type of lying is with our movements with our body
with our intent with the places we go in the places we don't go is that we made a demonstration of
our ideals and habits that we have disregard for the truth on account of our material actions and
processes how we turned our face from someone how we observed someone how we looked at someone how
we made somebody see disgust from us or we pretended to be happy and the prophets I send them says
		

			of the ones who are most hated by Allah is Lulu edge hain is a person with two faces that to face
person yet David Coleman big well bill Coleman big that they come to one group of people with one
face showing one attitude and another people with another face and another attitude May Allah
protect us from being duplicitous in our habits and in our lifestyle, and therefore to be saw the
Qunu Masada theme, the greatest sign that you're a truthful person is that you don't tolerate
untruth from other people and you associate yourself with truthful people. The greatest sign that
you value truth is that you're willing to speak it against yourself. Kunal mean Allah, He Shahada,
		

			this bill could be truthful people upright moral standing upright for that which is dust, and speak
the truth whenever Allah and footsy come even if it is a self indictment, and a self accusation
where you admit your fault, admit your mistake, and are willing to take it. And therefore I say to
anyone, young and old, especially the young, learn from your mistakes, not try to overcome them, it
is better will law he will always be better for you. I say this to my children, to my students, it
is always better for you to be humble, and say I made a mistake. I recognize it. And I know this has
upset you. But it won't happen again. I would rather hear my son my daughter say that to me, than to
		

			give me a line that isn't true. And that makes me feel that they don't understand the gravity of it
and the disrespect that I received on account of them not trusting that I believe we'll be able to
deal with them in an effective and forgiving manner. truthfulness is the hallmark of faith. The
prophets I seldom said in acidic ad lol bearer, we spoke about bitter and righteousness.
truthfulness leads to righteousness when they'll betray the illusion and righteousness will lead you
to gender. We're in El Cap Viva de la food, your
		

			dishonesty and lying leads to greater sin and greater sin leads to Gehenna May Allah protect us from
this Aloma I mean, in my Roger layer stock the privatized lm also sending sample hottie a person
will speak the truth way to how to receive I know always try to speak the truth had talked about in
the lives of the car until Allah writes their name in the account of those who are truthful and
verifiers of truth. Why not Roger Lake, an individual will lie way at the house and Kevin and always
make attempts to lie and find room to exaggerate or omit had talked about in the law HCA until they
are recorded with a law as treacherous sinful liars. May Allah protect us from that? Well suddenly
