Lies break trust
Trust is like a glass vase. Each lie puts a crack in it. After many lies, people find it hard to believe us, even when we're telling the truth.
One lie leads to another
When we tell one lie, we often have to tell another lie to cover it up. Soon it becomes a big tangled mess! The truth is always simpler.
Allah sees everything
We might hide a lie from people, but Allah always knows the truth. Even jokes should be true: the Prophet ﷺ loved to joke and smile, but he only ever said what was true.
“Truthfulness brings peace of mind, and lying brings doubt.”
