Once, an alcoholic man approaches Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and ask if him if he could be a Muslim. Prophet Muhammad replied the obvious answer which is, yes. Then the man said he is not confident of being a muslim because there are a lot of rules to be followed and he thinks he can't do it. Prophet Muhammad replied, "being a muslim is very easy as there is only one rule that muslims have to apply and that is, don't lie".
As humans, nobody escapes from telling a lie. Although it looks easy with the term 'don't lie' but yet humans still finds it hard to tell the truth. There are always reasons why humans lie. It is because they want to escape punishment. It is also because they want to make somebody feel bad about somebody and that is, Fitnah. Just because we are unhappy with somebody, we create a really embarrassing story about this somebody and spread it. Yes, these are humans.
Sometimes, you lie to a close friend and even sometimes a close friend lie to you. Listen to this, once somebody knows that you're lying, you'll just lost that trust from that somebody. And to gain back that trust is not very easy. Sometimes also you got to admit that you know your friend is lying but you just shut your mouth because you don't want to hurt his feelings.
This is just a post I'll to share. I just wanted to say that lying won't solve anything. Try your best not to lie even though you have to. Have faith in yourself. Have faith bro.
