Truthfulness (Ṣidq)
AI-assisted drafts, pending scholar review. Study aids, not religious rulings.
The Quran is the fixed criterion; accounts of honesty, credibility, and integrity are provisional readings of the human word measured against reality within Allah's speech — reflect on the pattern of ṣidq, and never bend the verse to an ethics theory, nor stake the verse on one.
This study was drafted with AI assistance from classical sources (al-Tabari, Ibn Kathir, and the cited hadith collections) and is pending scholar review. It is not a fatwa, a legal ruling on testimony or oaths, or a substitute for qualified scholarship.
