Surah Al-Mā’idah (5:119)
This ayah refers to the Day of Judgment, after Allah questions Prophet ʿĪsā (peace be upon him). Allah declares that truthfulness (ṣidq) will be the quality that truly benefits people on that Day.
Those who were sincere in their faith, words, intentions, and actions—truthful with Allah and with people—will be rewarded with Jannah, where rivers flow beneath, and they will remain there forever. The greatest honor mentioned is not only Paradise, but that Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Allah—a sign of complete success and peace.
This ayah teaches that salvation is not by claims or titles, but by sincerity and honesty in belief and practice. Truthfulness in this world leads to safety and success in the Hereafter.
Key lesson:
Be truthful with Allah in your iman, with people in your dealings, and with yourself in your intentions—because on that Day, only truth will benefit.
