I. Introduction

Truth is the most transparent and universal thing God has created.It cannot be molded in favor of one and against the other, as it remains unaffected by all external factors including race, ethnicity, status, and more.

II. Demystifying the Aphorism 

2.1) Truth is always objective and unbiased.

 2.2) Truth must be endorsed on the basis of facts and evidence, not any other factor.

III. Profiling the Factors That Truth Is Independent Of

3.1) Color: Truth remains unchanged for all Black, White, and Brown-skinned people alike. Case in point: “Black has no superiority over White and vice versa” — Farewell Sermon of the Holy Prophet.

3.2) Ethnicity: Ancestral and historical ties do not make any particular group of people superior to the rest.

3.3) Race: Truth does not care about differences based on physical and genetic characteristics.

3.4) Personal Opinion: There should be no discrimination in the validity of truth concerning an individual’s personal views and preferences.

3.5) Status: Class differences should not dictate the authenticity of truth, as both rich and poor can be equally truthful or wrong.

IV. Uncomfortable Instances of an Attempt to Falsely Shape the Truth

4.1) Historical Case: In the colonial past, the White master was always considered right, while the Black slave was always considered wrong.

4.2) Contemporary Illustration: Victim-blaming in rape cases, where a woman is blamed for provoking the man.

V. Recipe to Maintain the Sanctity of Truth

5.1) Taking motivation from religion to uphold the truth, as its manipulation is a sin in all religions.

5.2) Internalizing the fact that truth cannot be suppressed for too long and becomes evident eventually.

5.3) The state must sanction liars and deceivers by introducing strict punishments.

VI. Real-World Applications of the Universality of Truth

6.1) Communication: Honesty in daily and business dealings is necessary to develop trust and ensure mutual collaboration.

6.2) Justice: True justice can never be achieved if the prerequisite of favoring truthfulness is not fulfilled.

6.3) Science: Scientific experiments can only be valid and beneficial if the derived results are truthfully presented.
