The evil consequences of lying

A real life story related by one of the salaf depicting the true fruits of Tawakul

Those who have Tawakkul do not abandon material resources, the ‘tying of the camel’, as it were. We all know the Hadith in which the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said to the Bedouin who had left his camel without tying it, to ‘tie your camel and place your trust in Allah’. The people of Tawakkul know the balance between action and trust in Allah (The Most High).

Whoever lives by what this hadith teaches has lived by the religion.

How would you react if you lost your wealth, your children and your health all within quick succession? This is the story of the Prophet Ayub.

And it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know." (Al-Baqarah, 216)

Man always looks for what benefits him and what protects him from harm. However, to accomplish this, man must be able to realize what is harmful.
