Returning to the Truth

`Ali Hasan `Ali `Abdul Hamid

Ibn 'Abbaas (May Allah be pleased with them) narrated that Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) said: There is no believing servant except that he has a sin which he commits from time to time, or a sin in which he persists in and does not abandon until he leaves this world. Indeed the Believer was created as one who is frequently tried and tested; who often repents (then) forgets. When he is admonished he accepts the admonition.[1]

So it is said: Returning to the truth is a virtue whereas continuing in falsehood is despicable.

Returning to the truth elevates a person and raises his rank, both with Allah and the people.

Indeed it is only Satan who makes it appear to the people that returning to the truth is a defect and a slight to one's honour.

This is one of the deceptions and tricks employed by Satan (Iblees).

A person returning to the truth and not being too proud to accept it places him in an ideal position to appreciate.

[1] Reported by at-Tabarani in al-Mu'jamul Kabeer (no. 11,810) its chain of narration is hasan.
