34. Essence of Islam-III كُونُوا قوا مِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَاءَ لِلّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَى أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالأَقْرَبِينَ 29 وَلا يَجْر مَنكُمْ شَنَانُ قَوْمٍ عَلَى أَلَّا تَعْدِلُوا 30 والصَّدِقِينَ وَالصُّدقتِ " 31 وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ 32 لا يَشْهَدُونَ الرُّور 33. Translation: 'Keep away from idol worship and lying', because falsehood too is an idol; one who relies upon it ceases to rely upon God. Hence, by telling lies, one loses. God. 'When you are summoned to testify to the truth, do not refuse to do so. " 'Do not conceal true testimony; and he who conceals it, his heart is certainly sinful. ' 'And when you speak, speak only what is absolutely true and fair, even when you testify against a close relative. ' 'Hold fast to the truth and justice, and bear witness only for the sake of Allah. Never utter a lie even if telling the truth may endanger your lives or your parent's lives or other loved ones like your children. ' 'Let not hostility towards a people prevent you from giving true testimony. ' 'Truthful men and truthful women will earn great reward. ' 29.
