Telling the truth is a key for all doors of goodness that may lead to Paradise. Iman (faith) and lying can never exist together in the heart of the believer. Allah, the Almighty says: "As to the ones who forge such lies, they are the ones who do not believe in the revealed signs of God. Thus it is they who are the liars." (16:105) The Prophet (pbuh) also said: "The complete believer may have any characteristic in his nature except treachery and lying." A Muslim can be a coward or a miser but can never be a liar. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) was asked, "Can the believer be a coward?" He said, "Yes." He was asked, "Can the believer be a miser?" He said, "Yes." He was asked, "Can the believer be a liar?" He said, "No." "O you who believe! Be ever God-fearing! And be with those who are ever truthful." (9:119)
