๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐️ Three reasons why most people can't be trusted, which is why Allah the Almighty is the Only One Whom we can truly trust:
1] Most people, when insecure or discontented with Allah's Qadr / Destiny, tend to envy others' accomplishments, joys and blessings. A person who feels jealous of you in any way can never be relied on because they don't want you to succeed in life or surpass them at something which they themselves are trying to attain.
2] Most humans have the potential to be greedy opportunists and selfish narcissists. You can never rely on somebody who cares more about their ego, desires and pride than people's needs and rights. Don't be surprised if an acquaintance breaks a promise, tells lies or disappoints you one day if they assume that doing so is advantageous to them in the long run.
3] All human beings occasionally forget and make mistakes. The less profitable you appear to certain individuals, the more likely they are to take you for granted. Lower your expectations when it comes to dealing with those who have proven to be dishonest so you don't easily get disappointed.
✅ Five qualities of trustworthy souls and they are very few:
1] It is obvious that they strive to maintain Taqwa while they fear only Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala.
2] They try their best to be careful with their words, and if ever they said or did anything which upset someone, they have the courage to sincerely apologize for their wrongs.
3] When borrowing money and items from others, they make sure that they return what they borrowed in their proper condition and as punctually as they can.
4] Even if they're oftentimes in a bad mood, they strive to maintain good character, answering salaams responsibly, meeting people with a cheerful demeanor, and refraining from acting unfairly despite how they feel.
5] They aim to do good only to please Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, not for deceitful motives and personal gain. They're not the kind of people who overreact and sulk when you don't reciprocate their kindness immediately.

๐ Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "You must be truthful. Verily, truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man continues to be truthful and encourages honesty until he is recorded with Allah as a truthful person. And beware of falsehood. Verily, falsehood leads to wickedness and wickedness leads to the Hellfire. A man continues to tell lies and encourages falsehood until he is recorded with Allah as a liar."
