Truthfulness Leads to Paradise
إِنَّ الصِّدْقَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ وَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَصْدُقُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ صِدِّيقًا وَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ وَإِنَّ الْفُجُورَ يَهْدِي إِلَى النَّارِ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَكْذِبُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ كَذَّابًا

Innas-sidqa yahdi ilal-birr, wa innal-birra yahdi ilal-jannah, wa innar-rajula layasduqu hattā yakūna siddīqā. Wa innal-kadhiba yahdi ilal-fujūr, wa innal-fujūra yahdi ilan-nār, wa innar-rajula layakdhibu hattā yuktaba 'indallāhi kadhdhābā
Translation
Narrated 'Abdullah: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. And a man keeps on telling the truth until he becomes a truthful person. Falsehood leads to wickedness (Al-Fajur), and wickedness leads to the (Hell) Fire, and a man may keep on telling lies till he is written before Allah as a liar."
