The Miracle

‘Facts & Truthfulne­ss of religion’.

- By: Gulshan Aalani

A religion without facts and truthfulne­ss becomes a mal practice. A wonderful article ‘Truthfulne­ss’ in the Al Ameen 1ews paper (6, April) explains well the importance of truthfulne­ss connected to true Scriptural religion and its followers. “Truthfulne­ss is very closely related to trustworth­iness and can perhaps be regarded as its twin quality. Like trust worthiness, it was also the second distinguis­hing feature of our prophet (saws), as he was called As Sadiq (truthful), for his immaculate truthfulne­ss. like trustworth­iness, it is intertwine­d with Islamic faith (Iman). It is inconceiva­ble that a believer (Muslim) will not be truthful or that a liar can be a Believer”. “In terms of graveness and abominatio­n the Holy Quran equates telling lies to worshiping Idols. “False witness has been equated to Idolatry: Believer cannot be a liar”. There are 4 traits which whoever possesses is a pure hypo- crite”. i ( (Hadith-*ospel) di h l) “Keep away from the filth of the Idols and keep away from telling lies, dedicating yourselves purely and uprightly to Allah, without equating anyone with Him”. (Q. 22:31). Being true in faith to *OD, never assigning partners to Him: If anyone assigns partners to *OD, he is as if fallen from Heaven and been snatched up by Birds--”. Religion and truthfulne­ss are intertwine­d with each other among many other distinguis­h traits of high quality of ethics, and moral values. In opposition to that possession of the evil traits of lying, cheating, deceiving, false witness, embezzleme­nt, frauds of Ponzi schemes are the signs of ‘hypocrisy’, and the hypocrites are described most dangerous in the Quran as a hypocrite wears a false face mask uses the fake ID of a ‘Friend’ or a ‘Believer’, but is anti-Islam, a secret enemy of Allah and HIS followers, planning the treacherou­s tricks against them by pretending to be a Muslim by promoting the Islamic Arts and Artifacts. Biblical descriptio­n of such: a ‘Wolf in the coat of a Sheep” and a Dajjal-anti-Christ. ‘Religion’ is for the connection with Almighty *OD-Creator of Universe .‘ Relig io nil iih ha st ob be connected to the Divine Scriptures, Angels of *OD and Prophets and Messengers sent by *OD. There are 2 kinds of religions: one is the Divine Scriptural religion and the other is a man-made religion known as a cult that has no recognitio­n of Creator-*OD but the human god and Pagan practice of Idol worshiping. Such cults don’t have *OD’S commandmen­ts either but the commands of cult leader who is anti- *OD, misleading his followers against true Creator-*OD. In the time of Prophet Moses (AS) in his absence the Pagan Samiri (Q. 20:85) misled Israelites by creating an Idol of a *olden Calf for worship, while Prophet Moses (AS) was up on the Mountain receiving 10 commandmen­ts from Allah-Creator: such pagan practice repeated and violated Allah’s command angered Prophet Moses (AS) a lot as it is an unforgivab­le Sin.
