..honesty is the best policy..

kejujuran adalah ketenangan (riwayat at-tarmizi)

it's true because it is the say of our beloved prophet Rasulullah S.A.W.

but, to what extent do we follow this? to what extent are we being honest in our every day life?

questions to ponder on today.

it's not easy to tell people what you feel about them. either it's good feeling or bad. it's even harder for persons who have been really quiet and 'makan dalam'

but, as Rasulullah S.A.W said,

Kamu hendaklah berlaku jujur sekalipun kamu lihat dalamnya kebinasaan. kerana sesungguhnya terdapat di dalamnya keselamatan. (riwayat muslim)

plus, being honest is closely related to your iman

Rasulullah S.A.W ditanya: Adakah seorang yang beriman boleh jadi seorang pengecut? Baginda menjawab, "Ya". Adakah seorang yang beriman boleh jadi seorang yang bakhil? Baginda menjawab, "Ya". Adakah seorang yang mukmin boleh jadi seorang pendusta? Baginda menjawab, "Tidak". (Riwayat Muslim)

so, in conclusion, ermmm... tepuk dada tanya iman. how far can you go with your honesty?

p/s: i'm reminding myself more than i remind others.
