Allâh, Exalted is He says, "You who have faith! Have taqwâ of Allâh and be with the truthful"; "...being true to Allâh would be better for them"; "... men and women who are truthful...Allâh has prepared for them forgiveness and an immense reward"; "Among the believers are those who have been true to the contract they made with Allâh. Some of them have fulfilled their pact by death and some are still waiting to do so, not having changed in any way at all. So that Allâh might recompense the truthful for their sincerity..." Truthfulness is the conformity of the outer with the inner, speech with deed, and narrative with reality. [1] Therefore truthfulness occurs in intention, speech and deed and not just speech as many people may think. As such a person who informs of something that is not in conformity to reality is not truthful, a person who does a good deed intending to show off is not being truthful, a hypocrite who shows faith but conceals disbelief is not being truthful, a person who shows one face here and another face there is not being truthful etc. Read this complete Article click here http://islamzprotector.php0h.com/viewtopic.php?p=352&sid=7c25c28fc1dc...
