Q: I have a very big problem. I can’t stop lying to my family and friends. Also I feel it difficult to share personal information with those closest to me. I am completely isolated and feel that my pride is interfering with my relationships. Please help me with some advice how I can overcome this dilemma.
A: Don’t do or say anything without thinking. Just as you would like people to advise you correctly and guide you then others also appreciate that you guide them and correct them and give them the necessary counselling when it is required.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
