The Muslim Is Honest and Truthful

The Muslim is Honest and Truthful in All His Affairs

From Abu Hurairah (radhiyallah hu ‘anhu) who said that Allah’s Messenger, Muhammdas pbuh said:
“Three things are the sign of the hypocrite: when he speaks he tells lies, when he promises he breaks it, and when he is trusted he proves to be dishonest”(Hadith reported by Bukhari and Muslim)

So he is truthful and honest in his speech, faithful to his promise, trustworthy in carrying out that which he has been entrusted with. He does not deceive or defraud, he does not tell lies and is not guilty of hypocrisy. So truthfulness and honesty are two main good qualities whereas falsehood is the root of corruption and evil. His honesty keeps him far away from evil and foul deeds and sickness of the heart. Therefore whatever action he does, he does it for Allah the One free and far removed from all defects, not to attain some worldly position, fame or repute. So his motto is Knowledge for Knowledge.
