HONESTY

Indeed faith and honesty always go hand in hand. Faith is not going to come together with deceit. Prophet Muhammad was asked,''Is it possible for a believer is a coward?''And then answered,''Probably.''Then ask again,''Is it possible for a believer is stingy?''And he said,''Maybe.''Then Asked again,''Is a believer that lie?''And then answered,''No way.''(Reported by Imam Malik). He said,''So that Allah may reward to people who are honest because honesty, and punish the hypocrites if He will.''(Surat al-Ahzab: 24). From this verse, Allah taught us that anyone who spends his age to lie, then eventually it will just be a hypocrite. Indeed faith based on honesty. While hypocrisy based on lies. Thus, it is impossible faith and deceit mixed and assimilated in one same heart. Prophet said,''Surely honesty will bring peace, while a lie will bring doubt.''(Reported by Tirmidhi). We also probably no stranger to hear words of wisdom,''Say the truth even if painful.''Sometimes someone is lying because of an interest. However, consciously or unconsciously, by the time he committed a lie, then the anxiety will come to haunt him. Worried if his lies uncovered. Worried if people would censure him as a liar and a variety of other concerns. The prophet SAW said,''Surely honesty leads to goodness. Kindness leads to the path to heaven. If someone is honest and consistent with it, then Allah will record it as an honest man. Indeed lie leads to evil and evil leads to the road to hell fire. If someone is lying, then Allah will record it as a liar.''(Bukhari). Something big starts from something small. Someone who initially forced to lie, but when he did it constantly, then it will be attached to him and become his life's character. Here's what to watch out. Indeed lies just bring the culprit to many problems. Umar ibn Abdul Aziz said,''By God, not even if I never lie again since I know that the lies only to bring trouble to.
