flimsy, mutual understanding will be missing, and the society will be the subject of disarrangement.
Truth of speech: It stands for telling the very reality of a thing without falsification or concealment.
Truth of deeds: It stands for the conformity of deeds with words, such as the commitment to oath and fulfillment of pledges.
True determination: It stands for the determination to do good.
True intention: It stands for purifying the intent from blemishes of showiness.
Untruth denotes the disconformity of speech with reality. It is surely the source of evils. From this cause, the Islamic Sharia has banned untruth, censured the untruthful, and threatened them through numerous texts in the Quran and Sunna:
"Allah does not guide a transgressing liar. (40:28)" "Woe to every sinful liar! (45:7)"
"Those who do not believe in the miracles of Allah invent lies and they are liars. (16:105)"
In the Farewell Pilgrimage 31, the Prophet (s) said: "Forging lies against me has been common to a great extent. However, it will increase. He who forges lies against me intentionally should find himself a place in Hell. When you receive any hadith, you should first measure it according to the criteria of the Quran and my Sunna. If it conforms to them, you will then adopt it. If not, you should then throw it away." 32
Amir ul-Mu'minin (a) said: "Persistence on telling untruths brings about poverty." 33
