And: “Then they shall be sent back to Allah, their Patron, the True One.” [Sūrah al-An`ām: 62]
And : “So exalted be Allah, the True King!” [Sūrah TāHā: 114]
And: “So that is your Lord in Truth” [Sūrah Yūnus: 32]
It follows that Allah loves the truth and those who are truthful. He enjoins honesty upon us and exhorts us be honest.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to say while standing late at night in the observance of prayer:
O Allah! You set to rights the heavens and the Earth and all they contain, and Yours is the praise. Yours is the dominion of the heavens and the Earth and all they contain, and Yours is the praise. You are the light of the heavens and the Earth and all they contain, and Yours is the praise. You are the King of the heavens and the Earth and all they contain, and Yours is the praise. You are the Truth, Your promise is true, the meeting with You is true, Heaven is true, Hell is true, the prophets are true, Muhammad is true, and the Final Hour is true.[Sahīh al-Bukhārī (1120, 6317) and Sahīh Muslim (769)]
The truth can be defined as that which is established with certainty about which there can be no legitimate doubt. Allah is the Truth in His enduring essence which shall never perish or diminish. His nature is the truth that shall never be supplanted. Hs teachings are the truth, never mixed with falsehood. His promise is true and it will never be broken. He guides us to the truth, decrees the truth, and speaks the truth.
No matter what changes may take place in the world, no matter what challenges, difficulties, or discoveries we might encounter, the Truth that is Allah will never change. It is the one thing that can always be relied upon.
Muslims today, in the age of Globalization, are wondering what principles are immutable and what principles are subject to adaptation and change. Understanding this name of Allah should help us to deal with this question. Allah’s light is the truth, and whatever is illuminated by His light will be true.
