الصدق، الحق


Explanation:
The above two suggestions are pronounced ASSIDQ and AL-HAQQ. Here is the explanation for their usage:

1. If by "truth" you mean "veracity," then the Arabic word is صدق, pronounced SIDQ. If used abstractly, then the definite prefix AL- is required in Arabic: الصدق. Although written AL-SIDQ, it is actually pronounced ASSIDQ.

2. If by "truth" you mean the ethical or metaphysical attribute, as in Christ's saying, "I am the Truth," then the word is حق, pronounced HAQQ (the A is pronounced like the U in "hut"). As in the previous case, if the term is used abstractly, then the definite prefix AL- is required: الحق, pronounced AL-HAQQ.
