| Advice: Honesty is a feature that distinguishes a true Muslim from a hypocrite. Sadly, this quality of honesty seems to have become almost non-existent in this era. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) has drawn the difference between a true Muslim and a Munafiq (hypocrite) with very clear terms. �The signs of a Munafiq are three: a) when he speaks, he lies. b) When he makes a promise, he fails to fulfill it. c) When he is entrusted with something, he abuses that trust� (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith #: 33, Narrated by Abu Hurayrah).
