🏵️ When lies undermine the truth, it is a grave sin that can lead to severe consequences in this life and the next. As the Quran states, "And those who do not bear false witness, except when they are forced to do so, and are mindful of God, He will absolve them of their sins and expiate for them what is better than what they have earned." (Quran 2:167)

🏵️ The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Whoever intentionally witnesses a lie against his companion will be a liar, and whoever speaks a lie against his companion will be a liar, even if he says something good about him. And whoever is truthful about his companion will be a truthful person, even if he says something bad about him." (Bukhari)

🏵️ The Quran also emphasizes the importance of honesty and transparency in our daily lives. It states, "O you who believe! Fear God, and speak the truth. He will direct you to the path of righteousness." (Quran 33:70)

🏵️ As you mentioned, Christ Letters, I would like to emphasize that honesty is a fundamental value in Islam. It is a character trait that is expected from every Muslim, and it is essential for building strong relationships with others. In fact, honesty is considered one of the most important qualities of a believer.

🏵️ May Allah guide us to speak the truth at all times, and may He forgive us for our mistakes.
