Therefore...
Therefore, the pivot of purification to Ibn Abi Talib was man’s protection from lying, or say protecting him, when he is a live, from the coldness of death. Man’s protection from lying requires in the first place glorifying truthfulness directly in every situation, showing it as a prominent living necessity before every living creature, and directing people towards it retired to themselves or in groups.
And in this topic, Ali bin Abi Talib appears as a giant who sees what others do not see, who refers to what they are unaware of, practices what others cannot now practice, and he wants them to be able to do it. Ali says: “Beware of loosening your morals and changing them, maintain one tongue.” And destroying thing means breaking it, and changing it means overturning it from one state to another.
He intends to remind true person of the danger which his truthfulness is subjected to if he lies even for one time. For if the truthful person lies once, his honesty is broken, like anything which breaks if it falls on the ground one time. So are hypocrisy and double standard which are two sorts of the kinds of lying He says too: “Be truthful people. Do things without dissemblance. Respect the right truthful person, and humiliate the wrong liar.
Be truthful in speaking, give back the entrusted things, and keep the vow. He who wants a glory by falsity Allah inherit him humility in a right. If you were truthful we would reward you, and if you were a liar we would punish you.
He who lacks truthfulness in his speech is afflicted of his most precious moral, sharp sword at the hand of a brave man doesn’t bring bring for himglory more than faithfulness these master pieces about truthfullness are but samples out for other hundreds by which bin Abi Talib constitutes the base of his great ethical law. Then take this masterpiece where the share of penetrating conscious mind grows in its weare. He says: “Lying leads to degeneration”.
We need not elaborate on showing what lies in this word of a fact that draws beyond it a series on unending facts. And we need not elaborate on portraying what this word refer out of a psychological fact which days do not increase it but firmness.
