Muhamad the Honest

During his life, the Prophet Muhammad
was known as Al Amin, or ‘The Honest’,

He said:
You must be truthful, for truthfulness leads to righteousness ,
striving to speak the truth until he will be recorded with Allah as a siddeeq
(speaker of the truth). Beware of telling lies,
for lying leads to immorality and immorality leads to Hellfire.
A man will keep telling lies and striving to tell lies
until he is recorded with Allah as a liar.” (Muslim)

“Lying is not permitted except in three cases:

  • a man speaking to his wife to make her happy;
  • lying in times of war;
  • and lying in order to reconcile between people.”
    (
    Al-Tirmidhi)
