Oh the tongue ...

There is no price of flesh more beloved to Allah than a truthful tongue, and there is no piece of flesh more hateful to Allah than a lying tongue. -Fudhayl ibn al-Iyadh via Islam 2011

Don`t be led astray by the ones who have already deviated from the straight path

"Allah wishes to accept your repentance, but those who follow their lusts, wish that you (believers) should deviate tremendously away from the Right Path." (Quran, Surah An-Nisa 4:27)

For the believers, Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward

"Indeed, the Muslim men and Muslim women, the believing men and believing women, the obedient men and obedient women, the truthful men and truthful women, the patient men and patient women, the humble men and humble women, the charitable men and charitable women, the fasting men and fasting women, the men who guard their private parts and the women who do so, and the men who remember Allah often and the women who do so - for them Allah has prepared forgiveness and a great reward." [Sura Al-Araf 33:35]

This world to a believer and disbeliever...

"The world is a prison-house for a believer and Paradise for a non-believer" [Sahih Muslim Book 42, Chapter 1, Number 7058]

Isn`t this the case today...especially to my loved ones, family and friends?

The disbelievers are mujrimun (criminals) in this fleeting life

 إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِى الْمُحْسِنِينَ - وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ -  كُلُواْ وَتَمَتَّعُواْ قَلِيلاً إِنَّكُمْ مُّجْرِمُون

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good. Woe, that Day, to the deniers. [O disbelievers], eat and enjoy yourselves a little; indeed, you are mujrimun (criminals). [Quran, Sura Al-Mursalat, 77:44-46]

The Believers are tested so that it may be known Who is Sincere and Who is Lying

أَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ أَن يُتْرَكُواْ أَن يَقُولُواْ ءَامَنَّا وَهُمْ لاَ يُفْتَنُونَ

وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ صَدَقُواْ وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْكَـذِبِينَ

Does mankind think that by (just) saying "We believe," they will be left alone and that they will not be tested? And We indeed, did test those who were before them, so that Allah will know, those who are true and He will know those who are liars. - Sura Al-Ankabut 29:2-3
