0:09 The reality of truthfulness (sidq).
0:11 Truthfulness is far broader and more comprehensive than being limited merely to truthfulness in speech.
0:16 Rather, it also encompasses truthfulness in intentions and aspirations, as well as truthfulness in actions.
0:23 For the Arabs say:
0:25 "They launched a truthful assault against the enemy,"
0:28 meaning their resolve was firm and unwavering.
0:32 It is also said:
0:34 "So-and-so is truthful in their love and affection,"
0:37 and love is an action of the heart, not merely words.
0:41 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said in a hadith regarding the eyes, ears, and all other limbs:
0:48 "And the private parts confirm that or belie it."
0:53 Agreed upon.
0:55 These are actions, not words.
0:59 A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
