Honesty is the peace of the heart. The means of salvation, attainment of Paradise, satisfaction of God and blessings in wealth. Honesty is the best quality of human character. Its necessity in human life is immense.

The great God has instructed the human society to follow the boundaries. Honesty is one of them. Honesty and transparency is the quality of all the prophets, saints, angels, saints and pious people.

Why only Muslims but every human being wants to be a believer or a disbeliever, good or bad. Be it an officer or a worker. Be it teacher or student. Be it a saint or a disciple.

Rich or poor, parents or children. In all, honesty is crucial to dealing with every aspect of human life.

Honesty is the basis of security, peace, happiness, peace, construction and development of human society. That is why Islam has given importance to adopt honesty. This quality endows people with advanced, ideal and morality and through it the perfection of Islamic life is achieved.

Its virtues and necessity are as clear as daylight in the Qur'an and Hadith.

In many places in the Holy Qur'an, Allah discusses the virtues of men and women who practice honesty and transparency, their rewards in the Hereafter, their dignity, their acceptance in creation and especially their favorite words with the Creator.

The study of the Qur'an and Hadith shows that the issue of honesty is very broad. Honesty is not limited to speaking the truth. Rather, speaking the truth involves honesty in all actions, beliefs.

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And whoever obeys Allaah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), he will be a companion of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). (Surat an-Nisa ': 69)

On the Day of Resurrection, the truthful will meet Paradise because of their honesty.

Ershad is, Allah will say, this is the day when the truthful will benefit for their truthfulness, for them there is Paradise at whose feet the river flows. They will be there forever; GOD is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. It is a great success. (Surat al-Ma'ida: 119)

Calling for the company of truthful and faithful people, Allah the Almighty said, O you who believe! Be careful of (your duty to) Allah and be with those who are honest and trustworthy. (Surat at-Tawba: 119)

Referring to the praises and virtues of the truthful, Allah the Almighty said, "When the believers saw the combined forces, they said, 'This is what Allah and His Messenger promised us, and Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth.'

And it increased their faith and obedience. Some of the believers have fulfilled their covenant with Allah, some of them have accepted martyrdom, and some of them are waiting. They did not change their promises.

Because Allah rewards the truthful for their truthfulness and punishes or forgives the hypocrites if He wills. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful. (Surat al-Ahzab, verses 22-24)

In verse 35 of this Surah, discussing the rewards and rewards of men and women who are endowed with other virtues including honesty and transparency, it has been said that Allah has reserved for them forgiveness and great rewards.

The believer is transparent, the hypocrite is opaque. Believers are transparent so they are truthful.

Allah Ta'ala says in another verse that the believers are the truthful ones. The believers are those who believe in Allah and His Messenger, then there is no doubt in it, and they strive in the way of Allah with their lives and their lives. They are truthful. (Surah Hujurat, verse: 15)

Like the great book Qur'an, the hadith of the Prophet also reveals many virtues and dignity of honesty. In the hadith of the Prophet, honesty is said to be the means of peace of heart, salvation, attainment of Paradise, satisfaction of God and blessing of wealth.

That is why the believer is truthful because what he says is in his heart and he puts it into practice. There is no concealment or opacity.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: The truthful businessman will be with the Prophet Siddiq and the martyrs on the Day of Resurrection.

Who are the truthful traders is described in the hadith in this way, if the buyer-seller tells the truth and reveals the good and the bad, then their transaction will be blessed. And if both lie and hide the fault, then the blessing will be taken away from this transaction. (Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 1532)

Nowadays lying has become a fashion. The more a person can lie, the more clever and intelligent he is.

Lies, cunning, deceit, the feeling of guilt is rising from the heart of the people. But these are the works by which the whole society falls into turmoil, Rizik's narrowness.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Cursed is he who harms or plots against any believer. (Jame Tirmizi, Hadith: 1940)

Some people came to Hazrat Abdullah bin Omar and said, "We go to the court of the kings and say something praiseworthy in front of them which we do not say outside." Upon hearing this, Hazrat Ibn 'Umar said, "We used to consider them as hypocrisy." (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 617)

Explaining the hadith about the benevolence of the Muslim emirs, Imam Nawabi said that they should not be deceived by false praise. It is also part of welfare.

According to the hadith, the most horrible thing I fear about the Ummah is the eloquent hypocrite. (Musnad Ahmad, Hadith 1/22)

Narrated from the Companion Hazrat Abu Umama (RA), the Prophet (SAW) said, naturally a believer can have all the (good-evil) characters, one without two characters. Betrayal, two. False. (Musnad Ahmad, Hadith: 22160; Shuabul Iman, Baihaqi, Hadith: 4471)

Praising clarity, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "There is no god but Allah who will testify to my recommendation." With such sincerity that his heart will attest to his face and his face will attest to his heart. (Musnad Ahmad, Hadith: 6070)

Lying is considered important in various programs including dramas and fairs. But the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “Whoever tells a lie to make people laugh, but destruction for him, destruction for him. (Sunan Abu Dawood)

Once upon a time, people used to resort to lies while telling different stories. But now people are lying in words.

Remember! People will laugh because of lying, but according to the hadith, the angels of God go many miles away because of the stench of this lie. (Jame Tirmizi)

We have to think about how many lies we are taking refuge in every step of life. How far behind we are from honesty.

It is not left to be understood that turning lies into a fashion and the quality of the prophets and messengers is nothing but foolishness and stupidity.

So we must always maintain honesty, truthfulness and transparency in words and deeds. We must also avoid the curse and filth of lies. Then people will respect us and Allah Almighty will give us a fair return in the Hereafter.
