Summary

In Episode 3 on 'The Manners of the Believer', I discuss the importance of always speaking the truth (ṣidq). The Prophet (SAW) said, "I command you to speak the truth, for speaking the truth leads to piety, and piety leads to Paradise..."Notice how the key to piety is to be honest and factual in all that we say. Some matters are more sacred than others, hence we need to be even more careful (such as speaking about the religion; or swearing by Allah...). And there are some some exceptions to this rule (such as words of love said between family, where exaggeration is in fact encouraged).The general rule, though, is that we should be as factual and honest as possible, and we learn from the story of Ka'b b. Mālik that even if being truthful might be painful, in the long run, it will always be better for us.
