Morning Reminder: Saturday 1st Rabi Al-Thani 1435. Fear of people instead of Allah. Share to others please. Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri(Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Let not fear of the people prevent one of you from saying the truth if he knows it.”(Authenticated by Imam Ahmad 11459). Islam orders the Muslim to be honest to himself and others. This order repeatedly comes in the Noble Quran and the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (SAWS). Islam orders the Muslim to tell the truth even if it is against the tellers interest. Orders him not to cheat or deceive other people. A Muslim is ordered by Allah to be honest in his words and deeds, privately and publicly alike. Honesty in words implies telling the truth in all cases and under all conditions. Honesty also implies fulfilling the promise, whether written or given orally, in text and spirit. Honesty also implies giving the right advice to the one who asks for it. Honesty also implies doing ones work as sincerely and as perfectly as possible. Honesty also implies carrying out duties as fully as possible whether the person is supervised or not. Honesty means giving every person his due rights without his asking for these rights. Honesty means doing the right thing in the right way at the right time. Honesty means objectivity in judgment, objectivity in evaluation, and objectivity in decisions of all types. Honesty implies the right selection of personnel and the right promotion of personnel, i.e., selection by merit and promotion by merit, not by temper or favouritism or personal relations. We Ask Allah to aid us in our efforts to be honest and truthful for HIS sake and purify our hearts from any acts of disobedience to HIS rules. Amin.
