Choose Truth, Even When It Is Difficult by Lukgaf(op): 6:35am On Jul 10
CAN A LIE CHANGE ALLAH'S DECREE?

If Allah has already decreed something for you, can a lie change it?

Can lying help you secure a job that Allah did not write for you? Can it save you from a consequence that Allah has already decreed? Can it increase your wealth beyond what Allah has apportioned? Or can it shorten or lengthen your life?

If the answer is no, then why do we lie?

Some people lie to make money. Others lie to protect their reputation. Some lie in business to attract customers. Some lie in marriage to hide their mistakes. Some lie in school to avoid punishment. Others lie so often that it has become a habit.

But every lie is rooted in the same disease: forgetting that Allah is watching and believing that disobedience can bring a benefit that Allah has not decreed.

Allah says:

"No calamity befalls on the earth or within yourselves except that it is written in a Record before We bring it into existence. Indeed, that is easy for Allah." (Qur'an 57:22)

The Prophet ﷺ warned us in one of the most powerful hadith on truthfulness and lying:



"Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise... Lying leads to wickedness, and wickedness leads to the Fire."

Every lie has consequences. A lie may save you from embarrassment today but destroy your credibility tomorrow. A lie may earn you money today but remove barakah from your wealth. A lie may win an argument today but distance you from Allah. Worse still, repeated lying hardens the heart until a person becomes known before Allah as a habitual liar.

Ask yourself: Is any worldly benefit worth being recorded among the liars? Is any temporary gain worth Allah's displeasure? If a lie cannot change Allah's decree, then what exactly are we trying to achieve by lying?

Choose truth, even when it is difficult. A believer may make mistakes, but he strives to be truthful. The pain of telling the truth is temporary, but the consequences of lying can follow a person in this life and the next.

May Allah purify our tongues from falsehood, make us among the truthful, grant us the courage to speak the truth even when it is against ourselves, and resurrect us among the truthful on the Day of Judgment. Āmīn.

That is why you need to choose Jesus the only truth against the one you are following even when it is difficult

John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.


In Quran 46:9, yours said he is not the way that he doesn't know what will be done with him or with you his followers!

Something is always funny to me, someone who have never been to a place will describe it to you and you believe him.
