Honesty is a fundamental value emphasized in the Holy Quran, making its observance essential in human relationships and daily life.
Honesty is a fundamental principle in life, emphasized in the Holy Quran as well. In verse 119 of Surah At-Tawbah, Allah commands the believers to always be truthful: 'O you who have believed, fear Allah and be among the truthful.' (At-Tawbah: 119). This statement not only advises individuals to maintain their own honesty but also emphasizes the importance of associating with those who uphold honesty in their lives. To incorporate honesty into our lives, the first step is to trust ourselves and recognize honesty as a core value in our lives. By doing so, we can motivate others to maintain honesty in their interactions as well. Honesty not only grants credibility to interpersonal relationships but also strengthens trust. In Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 177, Allah provides a clearer definition of honesty: 'Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but righteousness is in one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, and the Prophets and gives his wealth in spite of love for it to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves.' This verse illustrates the importance of honesty and goodwill in the journey of life and includes examples of characteristics of a truthful and benevolent person. Therefore, to incorporate honesty into our lives, we must pay attention to the moral principles of the Quran and practice honesty in our words and deeds.
O you who have believed, fear Allah and be among the truthful.
Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but righteousness is in one who believes in Allah...
