Muhammad
has
done,
from the chapter of as as Sabr,
the book of,
of patience.
Now what do you expect the second one
would be? The following one, what would it
be about?
I think I mentioned it last time, but
I just wanna see if you guys remember.
After talking about suburb, what will be the
next thing?
Something had to do with required a lot
of suburb.
The chapter on truthfulness.
Because being truthful requires a
lot of patience.
You're gonna have to be truthful,
persevere in patience for the sake of the
truth,
and bear the consequence of dealing with it.
Lying,
it's convenient.
It can get you away easily, and you
don't have to be patient about anything. Just
get away with it.
But to stand for justice and be truthful
about the haqq and saun requires a lot
of sabr.
That's why he started with this after right
after he was done for my sabr, qalaqalababa'u
Siddiq chapter on truthfulness.
Qala Allahu Ta'ala
You aYawaladinAAamanu
taqullahu
waqunumas
sadiqeen. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, all you
who believe,
be conscious of Allah
and be with those who are true,
means in words and deeds.
Like be true
to the faith that you're you're observing
and be truthful with the people who are
around you through your words and through your
deeds and your actions.
Those who are always
truthful.
In
the count in the in the long ayah
on Surah Al Azab, when he talked about
Muslim,
like, believing men and women, the the Muslims,
men and women. Then among those qualities, what
did he say?
And those are truthful, men and women.
What does that mean? Being truthful is not
a monopoly for men.
And that competition to be among the truthful
is
open for everybody,
for both men and women.
They both can compete to become in the
category of
as well too. And
let's now speak about what do you get
out of being truthful?
And then if they had been true to
Allah, it would have been better for them.
Like, if you're true
and you'd be truthful,
who are you exactly keeping in mind when
it comes to being true and truthful? The
people?
Are you doing it for them?
You're doing it for Allah.
So when I when I'm being truthful,
when I'm trying to observe that level of
being truthful with everybody,
I'm not doing it because I owe it
to the people.
I do it first and foremost because I
owe it to Allah
Allah to be among the truthful ones, and
then to myself.
Because if you're truthful, what does that mean?
It really gives you strength and power because
there's nothing to hide.
Nothing to hide, nothing to be ashamed of,
nothing to fear. You're holding the truth. So
no matter how people try to,
to persuade you, you're still strong. But if
you're lying,
if you're cheating,
if you're deceiving,
all these things are fault lines in your
character.
So you have so much to be afraid
of and so much to try to cover.
But being truthful,
you don't need to do any of that
stuff, because what else to what am I
hiding? Nothing. So let's see what hadith he
says. The first hadith that he mentioned over
here, hadith number
54.
In this hadith, the messenger of Allah, sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, he divides the people to
2 or at least in regard to dealing
with the truth, 2 categories. So that very
simple dichotomy over here.
Truth leads to piety
and piety leads to jinnah.
Simple.
If you did if you tell the truth,
you're being truthful,
that leads to piety. Because if you're always
being truthful and hold the truth and call
for it and stand for it,
Eventually, this person, it leads to righteousness and
piety.
So you don't really care much about the
people as much as the Lord of the
people subhanahu wa ta'ala, and that leads to
piety. You're always conscious of Allah,
and that's why I always tell the truth.
He says that leads to piety.
While bir and all kind of bir, all
kind of goodness in your character leads to
what? Al Jannah eventually.
So to get to Al Jannah,
you need to be pious.
You need to have a character of.
Those are always righteous.
To do that, then at least do one
thing. What is that Ajamal?
Be truthful.
Now when we say being truthful, who is
the one that need to be truthful for,
1st and foremost?
Allah,
especially with your faith and your iman. So
when you say I believe, then prove it.
If you say I I believe in Allah,
then live for it.
Be truthful about it and stand for it.
Yes. We make faults and mistakes here and
there. The more faults, the more mistakes we
make, the more
again we have this fault in our in
our iman, the fault lines that make us
feel broken and shaken.
And the less that you do that, the
stronger you'll become. When your truthfulness and your
truth, the truth that you speak is always
solid.
He said, the person
persists in speaking the truth
and being truthful
until he is enrolled with Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala as
deek,
which means a true truthful person.
That's a very high level of jamaah. And
the prophet
in this hadith has given us good news.
What is that good news in this in
this statement of Jema?
What is that now
good news in that statement? What do you
guys think?
Being is what?
Open for everybody.
You wanna be?
You wanna join the the crank of Bakr
Siddiq, who's
holding you back?
That's what it is, being being truthful.
So that's what it means here, actually. And
then he says,
Lying
mean falsehood
leads to vice.
You know, when some when persons are lying
first time, second time, third time, they justify
that lying, what happens?
That leads to other vice in their lives.
They become hypocritical,
hiding so many things. They feel convenient about
it, and they just allow them to become
more brave enough or at least you could
say to deceive and so on. So it's
it's bad. This device.
And vice leads to
And a person will persist to lie
and always,
until
falsehood.
Until this person is written with Allah
as kadab.
The word kadab
is basically is not just a liar.
It's actually it's it's with exaggeration,
with emphasis,
pathological liar, basically.
Like it becomes a character for this person.
Subhanallah,
there are people, Yani, that you know, no
matter what they say, do the opposite.
Because, you know, whatever they say, it must
be a lie. Some people just like that.
They can't tell the truth.
It's a it's weakness,
it's sense of insecurity.
God knows what they're afraid of. It's basically
so the Allah
is warning us here. The prophet is warning
us here that taking the path of lying,
lie after lie after lie after lie, it
leads the person to end up not just
in Jahannam, become registered as a pathological liar.
That's one of the worst things any person
can meet their lord with.
So again, it's between being
or.
So make sure to choose inshallah to among
the Saudi Arabia.
Any questions,
Yes.
Say it again.
If that's somebody
does it take that first out of all
of Islam?
Bringing someone to Islam.
By lying.
There is no in doing that.
And
lying to somebody about what? Like, so you're
gonna be in general. Don't worry about
it. It depends. What do what do you
mean by lying over here? I mean, lying
to some non Muslim to make them Muslims,
and then once they become Muslim, they return
to Abba Arab Islam or no apostasy. You
can blasphemy. You're done. You're you're out.
No. Don't lie about your iman. Don't lie
about your Islam to anybody. If someone wants
to become Muslim,
just keep it clear and clear.
Well, we we are going to come to
the hadith to, some of the exceptions. Like
when is it allowed to lie?
So there are specific conditions
for,
permissible lies. Like for example, alisla
would come to reconcile in between 2 people.
Roger was a man and his wife. Like
she asked, for example,
he keeps telling her, you know what? I
missed you so much. Or or all these
guys oh, this is was amazing, masha'Allah.
Like exaggerating those words. So even though even
though it's called lying, but it's still this
is within the within the boundaries that was
acceptable.
So, yeah, the prophet says,
the liar is not the one who's
He's not the one who's trying to reconcile
between conflicting parties. But anything that other than
what is
over the exceptions is considered lying is not
allowed.
Yeah. No.
