Truth and it's effect








All praise is due to Allah, the Most Generous, the Bestower of favours and bounties. 
I bear witness that there is no deity save Allah, having no associates.
I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.
In Surat al mulk :2
الذي خلق الموت والحياة ليبلوكم أيكم أحسن عملاً " [ الملك : 2
Allah (St) says in the Quran in Surah mulk He who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving -…" (Quran 67:2).
Wheresoever you may be, death will overtake you even if you are in fortresses built up strong and high!" Qur’an 4:78 
Death is the reality from which none can escape. It draws nearer every day; every hour; every minute and every second . 
The life of a Muslim on this earth is a short one, but his deeds and actions are eternal if he knows how to channel them in the right way .
Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) has explained the foremost purpose of his being sent to the world.
“I have been sent only for the purpose of perfecting good morals.”
خطبة عن الصدق وأثره في الحياة 
Today khutbah imchallah will concentrate on one of the most important morals in Islam – Truth.being truthful and its effect on life 
Truthfulness reveals a persons sound upbringing, pure mind and good nature, while lying is considered an evil conduct. Truth is a saviour of a person while lying is a destroyer. The truth is admired and loved both by one's nature and intellect. The Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam enjoined speaking the truth when he said: "Be truthful for truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise. If a person tells the truth and nothing but the truth, he will be registered with Allaah as a truthful person. Beware of lying, for lying leads to sinfulness and sinfulness leads to Hell. If a person tells lies and nothing but lies, he will be registered with Allaah as a liar.” (Bukhaari & Muslim).
Truthfulness is among the character of all prophets and messengers , they all were true believers , they delivered the message with truth .
كما أن الصدق سمة من سمات الأنبياء والمرسلين، وجميع عباد الله الصالحين،
Trithful
قال تعالىعن خليله إبراهيم على نبينا وعلى جميع الأنبياء الصلاة والسلام:
(وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صِدِّيقًا نَبِيًّا) [مريم: 41].
And mention in the Book (the Quran) Ibrahim (Abraham). Verily! He was a man of truth, a Prophet.
 وعن إسحاق ويعقوب: (وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُمْ مِنْ رَحْمَتِنَا وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ عَلِيًّا ) مريم 50 
Speaking about Issac and Jacob Quran illustrate the state of truthfulness as mentioned about all prophets -
19:50) and We gave them of Our mercy, and We appointed unto them a tongue of truthfulness, sublime.
وعن إسماعيل: (وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صَادِقَ الْوَعْدِ وَكَانَ رَسُولًا نَبِيًّا )  مريم: 54 .

And mention in the Book, Ishmael. Indeed, he was true to his promise, and he was a messenger and a prophet.
وقال عن إدريس: (وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِدْرِيسَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صِدِّيقًا نَبِيًّا ) [مريم: 56].

And mention in the Book, Idrees. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet.

خطبة عن الصدق وأثره في الحياة  إن الاستجابةَ له – سبحانه – يجبُ أن تبلغ الذروةَ مما يُعنى به العبد ويقصد إليه، وأن تكون في الطَّليعة من واجباتِه وخِطَطه ومُهمَّات حياته، امتِثالاً لأمره – سبحانه – له بقوله: (يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَأَنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ) [الأنفال: 24].

وإن أعظمَ الاستجابة لله وللرسول شأنًا، وأشرفَها مقامًا أداءُ حقِّه – سبحانه -، بتحقيق التوحيد الذي هو أعظمُ أوامر الدين، وأساسُ الأعمال، وروح التعبُّد، وعِمادُ التقرُّب، وقاعدةُ الازدِلاف إليه – عز وجل -، والغايةُ من خلق الإنسِ والجنِّ، كما قال تعالى: (وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنْسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ) [الذاريات: 56].

والغايةُ أيضًا من إنزال الكتب، ومنهاالقرآن الذي قال فيه – سبحانه -: (الر كِتَابٌ أُحْكِمَتْ آيَاتُهُ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتْ مِنْ لَدُنْ حَكِيمٍ خَبِيرٍ * أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا اللَّهَ إِنَّنِي لَكُمْ مِنْهُ نَذِيرٌ وَبَشِيرٌ) [هود: 1، 2].

وكفَى به شرفًا وفضلاً أن قبول جميع أعمال العباد وأقوالهم الظاهِرة والباطِنة مُتوقِّفٌ عليه، راجعٌ إليه، ولذا جاء التحذيرُ من الشِّرك المُحبِط للأعمال بيِّنًا واضِحًا في كتاب الله بقوله – سبحانه -: (وَلَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ لَئِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَلَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ) [الزمر: 65]، وبقوله – جل وعلا -: (وَلَوْ أَشْرَكُوا لَحَبِطَ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ) [الأنعام: 88].

وكفَى به شرفًا أنه مانعٌ من الخُلود في النار، إذا كان في القلب منه أدنى مِثقال حبَّةٍ من خردَل.
به يكونُ لصاحبِه الهُدى الكامل والأمنُ التامُّ في دُنياه وأُخراه، كما قال – عزَّ اسمُه -: (الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُمْ بِظُلْمٍ أُولَئِكَ لَهُمُ الْأَمْنُ وَهُمْ مُهْتَدُونَ) [الأنعام: 82].

وبيَّن – سبحانه – أن الشركَ به ظُلمٌ عظيمٌ، فقال على لسان لُقمان: (يَا بُنَيَّ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ) [لقمان: 13].يقول الله تعالى في محكم آياته

   : (يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَكُونُوا مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ  )  التوبة  119

 وروى مسلم في صحيحه (عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-

« عَلَيْكُمْ بِالصِّدْقِ فَإِنَّ الصِّدْقَ يَهْدِى إِلَى الْبِرِّ وَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ يَهْدِى إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَمَا يَزَالُ الرَّجُلُ يَصْدُقُ وَيَتَحَرَّى الصِّدْقَ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ صِدِّيقًا وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْكَذِبَ فَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ يَهْدِى إِلَى الْفُجُورِ وَإِنَّ الْفُجُورَ يَهْدِى إِلَى النَّارِ وَمَا يَزَالُ الرَّجُلُ يَكْذِبُ وَيَتَحَرَّى الْكَذِبَ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ كَذَّابًا ». 

إخوة الاسلام

مــا هـو الصـدق؟ الصدق هو مطابقة منطوق اللسان للحقيقة،

 وبمعناه الأعم مطابقة الظاهر للباطن، فالصادق مع الله ومع الناس ظاهره كباطنه.

وإن الصدق دليل الإيمان ولباسه، ولبُّه وروحه؛ كما أن الكذب بريد الكفر ونَبْتُه وروحه، والسعادة دائرة مع الصدق والتصديق، والشقاوة دائرة مع الكذب والتكذيب.

والصدق من الأخلاق التي أجمعت الأممُ على مر العصور والأزمان، وفي كل مكان، وفي كل الأديان، على الإشادة به، وعلى اعتباره فضله،

وهو خُلق من أخلاق الإسلام الرفيعة، وصفة من صفات عباد الله المتَّقين؛

ولذلك فقد وصف الله نبيَّه محمدًا – صلى الله عليه وسلم – بأنه جاء بالصدق، وأن أبا بكر وغيره من المسلمين هم الصادقون، قال – تعالى -:

(وَالَّذِي جَاءَ بِالصِّدْقِ وَصَدَّقَ بِهِ أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُتَّقُونَ) [الزمر: 33].

كما أن التحلي بالصدق كان من أوَّليات دعوتِه – صلى الله عليه وسلم -، كما جاء مصرحًا بذلك في قصة أبي سفيان مع هرقل، وفيهاأن هرقل قال لأبي سفيان:

(قَالَ مَاذَا يَأْمُرُكُمْ قُلْتُ يَقُولُ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَحْدَهُ ، وَلاَ تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا ، وَاتْرُكُوا مَا يَقُولُ آبَاؤُكُمْ ، وَيَأْمُرُنَا بِالصَّلاَةِ وَالصِّدْقِ وَالْعَفَافِ وَالصِّلَةِرواه البخاري   

كما أن الصدق سمة من سمات الأنبياء والمرسلين، وجميع عباد الله الصالحين،

قال تعالىعن خليله إبراهيم على نبينا وعلى جميع الأنبياء الصلاة والسلام:

(وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صِدِّيقًا نَبِيًّا) [مريم: 41].

  وعن إسحاق ويعقوب: (وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُمْ مِنْ رَحْمَتِنَا وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ عَلِيًّا ) مريم 50 

 وعن إسماعيل: (وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صَادِقَ الْوَعْدِ وَكَانَ رَسُولًا نَبِيًّا )  مريم: 54 .

وقال عن إدريس: (وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِدْرِيسَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صِدِّيقًا نَبِيًّا ) [مريم: 56].

وقال عن صحابة رسولِه الأخيار:

(مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلًا ) [الأحزاب: 23].

The danger of disrespecting your parents

The Holy Prophet (S) said. “One who displeases the parents, (it is as if) he has displeased Allah. One who angers both his parents (it is as if) he has angered Allah.” Elsewhere, it is mentioned, “One who hurts his parents, hurts me and one who hurts me has hurt Allah. And the one who hurts Allah is accursed.” Āq al-Walidayn is Not Eligible For Divine Forgiveness The wretchedness of the Āq al-Walidayn is sufficiently evident from the fact that the trustworthy Jibrīl (a.s.) has cursed him and said, “One who is blessed with parents but does not fulfill their (his parent’s) rights will not be forgiven (his sins) by Allah.” 3 When Jibrīl (a.s.) said this, the Holy Prophet (S) uttered, ‘Amen’! DONT disrespect, shout, ignore, annoy, disobey, disregard, disturb our parents. They were looking after us when we were nothing but an easy prey to anything around. They were awake during the nights to make us sleep and feel us secured. We may not remember a thing in the childhoo...

Medical, Scientific and religious Reasons for not Eating Pork:

People ask me all the time, Why don't you eat pork? ...Is it for  religious reasons? ...Are you vegetarian? Are you a Muslim or a Jew  ? Do you know that pork taste good ? Honestly, just today I was even asked for sound scientific evidence affirming the danger of eating pork. I will share a few findings with you. Medical and Scientific Reasons for not Eating Pork: This is a direct quote from "What the Bible Says About Healthy Eating" by Dr. Rex Russell. He attended Baylor School of Medicine in Houston, Texas and did his residency at the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minnesota. Let us watch this short video , let the conversation begin: "One reason for God's rule forbidding pork is that the digestive system of a pig is completely different from that of a cow. It is similar to ours, in that the stomach is very acidic. Pigs are gluttonous, never knowing when to stop eating. Their stomach acids become diluted because of the volume of food, allowing all kind...

An open letter to Jehovah Witness :

A letter to Jehovah Witness by Rachidm: Dear Jehovah’s Witnesses: I would like to share with you some biblical research based upon my discussions with Jehovah’s Witnesses friends. My wife used to be a Jehovah Witness. When we got married, I, as a  Muslim told her ; "you have the right to practice your religion". I even offered to give her a ride if needed to the Kingdom hall ( Jehovah Witness place of worship ) .  With an open mind, I supported her and told her I would never mind her practicing and preaching her religion. During our first couple years  of blessed and happy marriage together, I was privileged to engage with my parents in law (upon their request) in a comparative study between Islam and their beliefs. Although they were discouraged from dialogue since they believe their way is the only correct way, I always enjoyed a good open discussion about religion in general.

“And no bearer of burdens shall bear another’s burden”. (Quran 35:18)

The idea of Jesus dying on the cross is central to the Christian belief.  It represents the conviction that Jesus died for the sins of mankind.  The crucifixion of Jesus is a vital doctrine in Christianity; however Muslims reject it completely.  Before describing what Muslims believe about Jesus’ crucifixion, it may be useful to understand the Islamic reaction to the notion of original sin. When Adam and Eve ate from the forbidden tree in paradise, they were not tempted by a serpent.  It was Satan who deceived and cajoled them, whereupon they exercised their free will and made an error in judgement.  Eve does not bear the burden of this mistake alone.  Together, Adam and Eve realised their disobedience, felt remorse and begged for God’s forgiveness.  God, in his infinite mercy and wisdom, forgave them.  Islam has no concept of original sin; each person bears responsibility for his own deeds. “And no bearer of burdens shall bear another’s bur...

THE DOCTRINE OF ORIGINAL SIN

Greetings of peace, This post is an answer to a new friend whom I recently met and respect , a devout Christian  passionate about sharing his religion with others , who challenged me to provide some proofs regarding why Muslims don't accept the doctrine of  original sin; a doctrine ( including the concept of trinity ) that  was  added by the Church at the Council of Nicaea some 325 years after Jesus left the earth.  Notice I say left the earth ( meaning resurected alive by Allah )  and not died yet or crucify as some claims ,  but that is a topic for another day. Back to the doctrine of original sin. Are we born with so called Original sin or born innocent ? Is a Newly Born Baby really a Sinner? Islam Challenges The Concept of Original Sin. Let us found out why ? let's take a look at the following passages from The Bible: (Deuteronomy 24:16)   “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children...
