Macam-Macam Honesty
Honest in intention and the will. This return to sincerity. If a charity tercampuri with the interests of both, it will damage the integrity of intention, and the perpetrators can be regarded as a liar, as the story of three people who are opposed to God, which is a mujahid, a reciter ', and a philanthropist. God considered all three have lied, not on their actions but on their intent and purpose.
Truthful in speech. Mandatory for a servant to keep her spoken, does not say except the true and honest. Right / honest in saying that honesty is the best kind of look and the light of the various honesty.
Honest in the determination and promise. Examples like someone saying, "If God gives me wealth, I'd spend it all in the way of Allah." So that this is the determination. Sometimes true, but sometimes also in doubt or lie. This was as the word of God:
"Among the believers there are people who keep what they had promised to Allah, and among them there was a fall. And among them are (also) is waiting for the slightest and they never changed (their determination). "(Surat al-Ahzab: 23)
In another verse, Allah says,
"And among them are some who have vowed to God, 'Surely, if God gave part of his gift to us, certainly we will give alms and we certainly among the righteous.' Then, after God gave them some of the gifts Him, they were stingy with the gift, and turned away, and they are indeed the people who always backs (the truth). "(Surat at-Tauba: 75-76)
Honest in deed, that is balanced between the outer and inner, that is not different between the charity was born with inner charity, as stated by Mutharrif, "If the same between the inner an outer slave, Allah will say, 'This is a true servant / honest." "
Honest in the position of religion. This is the highest position, as honest in fear and hope, in the sense of love and resignation. These cases have a strong foundation, and will appear if understood the nature and purpose. If a person becomes perfect with honesty then people will say this is true and honest, as the word of God,
"Those who believe only those who believe in Allah and His Messenger, then they did not hesitate, and they strive with their wealth and their lives in the way of Allah, they are the ones who care." (Surat al -Hujurat: 15)
Realization of these things require hard work. There's no way someone manggapai this position until he completely understands its nature. Each position (state) has its own circumstances. There are times when weak, sometimes too strong. At strong, it is said to be an honest man. And to be honest with each position (condition) is very heavy. Sometimes on certain conditions he was honest, but in other places instead. One sign of honesty is to hide the obedience and hardship, and not like other people know.
Khatimah
People who always do the truth and honesty, can not but remark, deeds, and it always shows it. Allah has commanded the Prophet to ask him to make every step is above the truth as the word of God,
"And say (O Muhammad), 'Oh my God, put me in the right entry and remove it (too) I'm in right out and give me from Thy hand power to help." (Surat al-Isra': 80)
God also told of the Prophet Abraham who begged him to be recalled good fruit.
"And I'd make a good fruit said to the people (who came) later." (Surat al-Shu'ara: 84)
The nature of honesty in this case is a right that has tertetapkan, and connected to God. He will come to Him, so that the return will be sought in the world and the hereafter. God has explained about the people who do good, and praise them for what they have done, either in the form of faith, charity or patience. That they are honest men and true. Allah says,
"It is not your faces towards east and west is a virtue, but it is actually good faith in Allah, days later, the angels, the books, the prophets and gives wealth to the friend beloved relatives, orphans , the poor, the traveler (who needed help) and the people who beg, and (liberating) slave, founded the prayer, and practice regular charity; and the people who kept his word when he promised, and the people the patient in hardship, suffering and war. They are the ones who really (faith) and it is they who restrain themselves. "(Surat al-Baqara: 177)
Described here with the light that truth is evident in outward deeds and this is the position of Islam and Iman. Honesty and sincerity is the realization of both Islamic and security.
People who appeared on Islamic dhahir (appearance) is divided into two: the believers (who believe) and hypocrites (hypocrites). Which distinguishes between the two is honesty and truth of faith. Therefore, God calls mensifatinya nature of faith and truth and honesty, as the word of God,
"(Also) for the fuqara who emigrated were expelled from their homes and from their property (because) seeking bounty from Allah and pleasure (His), and aiding Allah and His Messenger. They are the right people. "(Surat al-Hashr: 8)
The opposite of truth is a lie. And lies including major sin, as God's word,
"We ask God to curse inflicted upon those who lie." (Surah Ali Imran: 61)
Lie is a sign of hypocrisy, as mentioned in the hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said,
"The signs of the hypocrite are three cases, namely when he speaks a lie, when he promised to deny and if given the trust he betrayed." (Narrated by Bukhari, Kitab-Iman: 32)
Lie will lead to disobedience, and disobedience will be plunged into hell. Danger lies very large, and the resulting punishment is so terrible, then it mandatory for us to always be honest in word, deed, and muamalah us. Thus, if we are always away from the lies, surely we will be rewarded for people who are honest and safe from the punishment of the liar. Waallahu best.
"Who is more unjust than he who invents a lie against Allah and deny the truth when it comes to him? Is not in hell Hell is a place to stay for those who disbelieve? And those who brought the truth (Muhammad) and justify it, they are the ones who fear Allah. They get what they want on the side of their Lord. Such is the reward the people who do good, that God will cover (pardon) for their worst deeds they did and returned them with a better wage than what they have done. "(Surat az-Zumar: 32 -- 35)
