Once more, I am forwarded what appears to be a fabricated quote of dubious origin.
Once more, I must remind the sender that we’re still required to fact-check.
Yes, even if it was forwarded to us by a trusted friend about an enemy despised.
Once more, I must reaffirm that we’re called to speak truth even against ourselves.
To be just even for our enemies. To spurn mixing truth and falsehood. To stand firm as witnesses to the truth.
How easily we discard our ethics in times of crisis, when this is in fact the moment integrity is absolutely paramount.
Once more, we must acknowledge that the people of truth are indeed few and far between.
May Allah make us of the truthful.
