Honesty and hypocrisy within Muslim families constitute a complex phenomenon shaped by religious values, psychological processes, and family relationship dynamics. This study aims to examine the relationship between ṣidq (honesty) and nifāq (hypocrisy) in Muslim family life from the perspectives of Islamic ethics and psychological theories, specifically Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Family Systems Theory (FST). Employing an Integrative Literature Review (ILR) approach, this study draws upon data from the Qur’an, Hadith, Islamic scholarly literature, psychological theories, and relevant empirical studies. The findings indicate that honesty within Muslim families is understood both as an individual moral obligation and as a relational process influenced by ACR (Autonomy [A], Competence [C], Relatedness [R]), psychological safety, and family interaction patterns. Excessive control, fear of rejection, punitive responses, and pressure to maintain an image of a perfect family can foster concealment and trigger a lack of alignment between values, words, and behaviors. This study proposes the concept of Islamic Relational Honesty (IRH) by integrating internalized ṣidq, psychological safety, support for meeting ACR needs, and moral alignment. IRH makes a theoretical contribution by framing honesty as a relational ecosystem, wherein Islamic values and psychological well-being mutually reinforce one another. The IRH framework offers a foundation for future research on honesty, trust, and moral development within Muslim families.
