[40].Surah Al Mumin (The Believer) also known as Surah Ghafir [The Forgiver]
Ayat 58. And not equal are the blind and those who see, nor are (equal) those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism), and do righteous good deeds, and those who do evil. Little do you remember!
Ayat 59. Verily, the Hour (Day of Judgment) is surely coming, therein is no doubt, yet most men believe not.
Tafseer of Surah Al Mumin (The Believer) 58. Not equal are the blind and those who (clearly) nor are (equal) those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and those who do evil. Little do ye learn by admonition! The man of Faith who backs his faith by righteous conduct is like the man of clear vision, who sees things in their true perspective and walks with firm steps in the Way of Allah. The man who does evil is like a blind man: the Light of Allah is all around him, but the man has made himself blind, and he can see nothing. He has rejected Faith and cannot even learn by other people’s admonition. Ayat 59. The Hour will certainly come: Therein is no doubt: Yet most men believe not. “The Hour” is the crown and consummation of man’s life on this earth—the gateway to the Hereafter.
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Ibn Masood (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) said, “Truth leads to piety and piety leads to Jannah. A man persists in speaking the truth till he is enrolled with Allah as a truthful. Falsehood leads to vice and vice leads to the Fire (Hell), and a person persists in telling lies until he is enrolled as a liar”.’
[Muslim Book 32, Chapter 26, Hadith # 6306].
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Mumin Ayat 58. And not equal are the blind and those who see, nor are (equal) those who believe” Siddiq (veracious) and Kadhdhab (liar) both are adjectives of intensive degree. That is to say, the words stand respectively for someone whose truth has become his second nature; and in the opposite case, one is a liar who is in the habit of telling lies. As one acquires a reputation in this world for his good or bad deeds similar is his position before Allah. One who is ranked among the truthful with Him is entitled to reward, and if one is a liar, he has to suffer retribution for it. This Hadith provides incentive for truthfulness because it is a source of every good deed and contains a warning against lying as it gives rise to all kinds of mischief.
