TruthfulnessFalsehood
الصِّدْقُ — truthful speechالْكَذِبُ — lying
الْبِرُّ — goodnessالْفُجُورُ — wrongdoing
إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ — toward Paradiseإِلَى النَّارِ — toward the Fire
Both narrations use emphasis with إِنَّ and the repeated expression يَهْدِي إِلَى. This contrast demonstrates how habits of speech can shape conduct over time.
The warning does not mean that someone who has lied cannot repent, correct the wrong, and return to a truthful path.
