Be Honest

 

If a person once entangles himself in falsehood and intrigues, in

spite of making countless efforts, he can never get out of it, and

day-by-day he will keep moving toward his downfall. We never improve

our personality keeping these elements within us or as a part our

habits. When we are successful in concealing our first dishonest act,

it is easier for us to commit the second one. When it goes on for

some time, to be dishonest will be almost a part of us. Our

conscience will not prick us anymore. Lies, treachery, manipulation

and fraud are such aspects of one's personality, which will lead to

failure, insult and defamation. It is necessary to get rid of these

negative shortcomings, with firm determination, in order to achieve

success in life for here and hereafter. Honesty is one of the pillars

on which the moral survival of the world depends.

 

A true believer of God should keep his word and fulfill his promises.

God will reward the men of Truth for their Truth. " Remember, there

is no faith in him who is not trustworthy; there is no place for him

in religion who cares not for his pledged word or promise " . " He who

cheats is not of us. Deceitfulness and fraud are things that lead one

to Hellfire. " A true believer of God has many characteristics by

which he can be identified. The most outstanding one should be

honesty of character and truthfulness of speech. The tongue

translates man's internal feelings to the outside world. Honesty

should thus be at the core of character and speaking the truth should

not only be seen as an important feature of character, but also as

the doorway to righteousness. Just as deliberate lying is among the

ugliest traits; truthfulness is one of the most beautiful

traits. " Being truthful is obligatory, for truly truthfulness lead to

righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. "
