Honesty in Islam refers to staying truthful in all matters and under all conditions. Honesty likewise suggests satisfying someone’s trust. It suggests giving the right guidance to the person who wants it. Islam orders Muslims to be honest with themselves and others. This law repeatedly comes in the Quran and the saying of Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W.W). Islam orders the Muslim to tell the truth even if it is against the teller’s interest. Orders him not to cheat or deceive other people. A Muslim is ordered by Allah to be honest in his words and deeds.

Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W.W) said:

“Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. In addition, a man keeps on telling the truth until he becomes a truthful person. Falsehood leads to wickedness and evil-doing, and wickedness leads to the (Hell) Fire, and a man may keep on telling lies till he is written before God, as a liar”.

(Saheeh Al-Bukhari)
