Qualities of a Believer
Truth and Lying
Truth and Lying
Allah subhan wa taala says in Quran Al Hakeem about the basic qualities of a believer :
"O you who believe ! Why do you say that which you do not do ? Most hateful it is with Allah that you say that whichyou do not do".
Rasool Allah pbuh was asked, "Can a believer be a miser ?" He said "Yes." He was asked, "Can a believer be a coward?" He said, "Yes" And he was asked, "And can a believer be a liar?" He said, "No".
It has been related that a man went to Rasool Allah pbuh and said, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed I do three sins in secret: (I drink) alcohol, fornication and lying. So inform me which of them I should abandon." He said, "Leave off lying." The man went away, and later desired to fornicate, but he thought to himself, "I will go to the Messenger of Allah and he will ask me whether I fornicated ? If I say yes, he will punish me. And if I say no, I will have broken the convenant and lied." So he abstained from fornicating, and the same occurred regarding alcohol. He returned to Allah's Messanger pbuh and said, "O Messeger of Allah, indeed I have abandoned all of them."
My brother, do you not see then, that lying is the root of every wicked deed, and it leads to all other sins. You will not see anyone more miserable and wretched than the liar, and disbelief is the most severe kind of lying , for it is lying upon Allah subhan wa taala.
