‘Facts & Truthfulness of religion’.
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.
