The impact of hope and fear regarding created beings on one’s steadfastness.
0:12
When a person who possesses the truth speaks or writes,
0:17
and within his heart there is fear or hope directed toward someone other than Allah, the Almighty and Majestic,
0:22
then the truth he writes or speaks will inevitably be distorted.
0:27
This is because hope and fear for any created being pull the truth in different directions,
0:32
and thus they cause it to emerge in a distorted form.
0:35
Therefore, when a caller to the truth experiences any sense of hope or fear,
0:41

Only then should he clarify the truth to the people,
0:48
so that his explanation may be free from distortion and obfuscation.
