TELL THE TRUTH

“Wa qulil haqqu min rabbikum, faman sha’a falyu’min waman sha’a falyakfur.” (Sura Kahf:29) He says, “Speak the true word from the tongue: whoever wills believes and whoever wills disbelieves.” This is the case for everything. When a scholar (‘alim) or cleric (imam) gets up to give a sermon, it is not alright if he does not tell the truth thinking, “That one might get offended.”
