Truth

Is to apply the teachings and understand them. To trust the creator as well as to be truthful to yourself, and all creations.

Prophet Noah as many of us now his story, is the best example that represents all of these teachings. Prophet Noah was told by God to do a unique mission which involved all of these teachings in every part he was set to do.

He used wisdom to gather the people of God and all creations to spread the message of the upcoming flood. He showed love and respect by welcoming all the people of God to join him on the day of the flood. As non-believers laughed he begged that they believe in the only God so they can be saved he showed humility by doing this since, he asked for them to join him, revealing there is no difference between himself and them. He showed honesty by doing what God asked him to do. Bravery was the biggest teaching he acted upon the most. The fact that he accepted this mission and went through everything just to get it done takes a lot of courage.
