Last Tuesday, I had learned about trustworthiness.
What is trustworthiness? Trustworthiness is reliable, something that we can
rely on to be good, honest, sincere etc (oxford advance learner’s dictionary). There
are actually a lot of behaviors or attitudes that make you a trustworthy person.
As a student, doing homework, wearing the proper school uniform, do not cheated
in the examination are the characteristics of the trustworthy person.
Have you ever face a situation that put you
into some dilemma, whether to tell the truth or not? As human being we’ll never
escape from facing this moment. Sometimes it is hard to speak out the truth,
sometimes it might hurt when we say the truth, sometimes the truth may ruin
everything. To be trustworthy is not easy.
In a situation, we might not want to be
truthful, especially when we know the truthfulness will make people sad, will
make people unhappy, will make people sick, will make people cry, but cover the
truth is also a bad thing to do. Some people say it is “tipu sunat”, but is
there that kind of “tipu sunat”. Sure do, there is no such thing as “tipu sunat”.
Islam does not permit the ummat to lie or hide the truth even if it a bitter reality.
A part from the bitterness, one day there
will be the sweetness behind all of the truth. We might not notice it now, or
as soon as we want it but doing a good thing, we surely will be reward by HIM. Even
if there is no reward, we need to the good things, it will make sure that we
may live peacefully and harmony. Trustworthiness is not something that can be
easily obtained without any effort, it needs to be implant since we were young,
but it is not too late to try to train our self to be someone who is trustworthy.
Start from now, a trustworthy person, will be loved by everyone.
