ALLAH GUIDES NOT HIM WHO IS A LIAR !
Allah, the Exalted says:
“ALLAH GUIDES NOT HIM WHO IS A LIAR AND A
DISBELIEVER”
Az-Zumar 39:3
The Messenger (Salla-Allahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam)
said:
“TRUTH LEADS ONE TO PARADISE AND VIRTUE
LEADS ONE TO PARADISE AND THE PERSON TELLS
THE TRUTH UNTIL HE IS RECORDED AS
TRUTHFUL, AND LIE LEADS TO OBSCENITY AND
OBSCENITY LEADS TO HELL, AND THE PERSON
TELLS A LIE UNTIL HE IS RECORDED AS A LIAR.”
Muslim

“HE WHO FORGED IN ORDER TO PUT THINGS

“DO NOT EVER LIE, BECAUSE LYING LEADS TO
VERY ABHORRENT SINS AND THOSE IN TURN
LEAD TO HELLFIRE. ONE KEEPS ON LYING AND
SEEKS TO DO THAT UNTIL ONE IS RECORDED AS A
LIAR IN SOME BOOKS OF ALLAH.”
Ibn Majah

“FALSE TESTIMONY IS SIMILAR TO CLAIMING
THAT ALLAH HAS PARTNERS.”
Al-Baihaqi
Allah, the Exalted says:
“ALIF-LAAM-MEEM. DO PEOPLE THINK THAT THEY
WILL BE LEFT ALONE BECAUSE THEY SAY: ‘WE
HAVE FAITH’, AND WILL NOT BE TESTED? AND
WE INDEED TESTED THOSE WHO WERE BEFORE
THEM. AND ALLAH WILL CERTAINLY MAKE
KNOWN, THOSE WHO ARE TRUE, AND WILL
CERTAINLY MAKE KNOWN THOSE WHO ARE
LIARS”

“FALSELY ATTRIBUTING SOMETHING TO ME IS
NOT LIKE FALSELY ATTRIBUTING SOMETHING TO
ANYONE ELSE. LET THE ONE WHO KNOWINGLY
LIES ABOUT ME TAKES A SEAT IN HELLFIRE.”
Muslim
The Messenger (Salla-Allahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam)
said:
‘WHOEVER DOES NOT GIVE UP FALSE
STATEMENTS (I.E. TELLING LIES), AND EVIL DEEDS,
AND SPEAKING BAD WORDS TO OTHERS, ALLAH
IS NOT IN NEED OF HIS (FASTING) LEAVING HIS
FOOD AND DRINK.’
Bukhari
Allah, the Exalted says:
“IN THEIR HEARTS IS A DISEASE (OF DOUBT AND
HYPOCRISY) AND ALLAH HAS INCREASED THEIR
DISEASE. A PAINFUL TORMENT IS THEIRS
BECAUSE THEY USED TO TELL LIES.”
Al-Baqarah 2:10
Allah, the Exalted says:
“IT IS ONLY THOSE WHO BELIEVE NOT IN THE
AYAH (PROOFS, EVIDENCES, VERSES, LESSONS,
SIGNS, REVELATIONS, ETC.) OF ALLAH, WHO
FABRICATE FALSEHOOD, AND IT IS THEY WHO
ARE LIARS.”
An-Nahl 16:105
Allah, the Exalted says:
“…AND ALLAH WILL CERTAINLY MAKE (IT)
KNOWN (THE TRUTH OF) THOSE WHO ARE TRUE,
AND WILL CERTAINLY MAKE (IT) KNOWN (THE
FALSEHOOD OF) THOSE WHO ARE LIARS,
(ALTHOUGH ALLAH KNOWS ALL THAT BEFORE
PUTTING THEM TO TEST)”
Al-Ankabut 29:3
Allah, the Exalted says:
“SO HE PUNISHED THEM BY PUTTING HYPOCRISY
INTO THEIR HEARTS TILL THE DAY WHEREON
THEY SHALL MEET HIM, BECAUSE THEY BROKE
THAT (COVENANT WITH ALLAH) WHICH THEY
HAD PROMISED HIM AND BECAUSE THEY USED TO
TELL LIES.”
At-Taubah 9:77
The Messenger ( Salla-Allahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam)
said:
‘VERILY, ONE OF THE WORST LIES IS TO CLAIM
FALSELY TO BE THE SON OF SOMEONE OTHER
THAN ONE’S REAL FATHER, OR TO CLAIM TO
HAVE HAD A DREAM ONE HAS NOT HAD, OR TO
ATTRIBUTE TO ME WHAT I HAVE NOT SAID.’
Bukhari
The Messenger (Salla-Allahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam)
said:
“SHOULD I INFORM YOU THAT SLANDERING,
THAT IS IN FACT A TALE-CARRYING WHICH
CREATES DISSENSION AMONGST PEOPLE, (AND)
HE (FURTHER) SAID: THE PERSON TELLS THE
TRUTH UNTIL HE IS RECORDED AS TRUTHFUL,
AND LIES TELLS A LIE UNTIL LIE IS RECORDED AS
A LIAR.”
Muslim
The Messenger (Salla-Allahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam)
was asked:
“’CAN THE BELIEVER BE A COWARD?’ HE SAID,
‘YES.’ HE WAS ASKED, ‘CAN THE BELIEVER BE A
MISER?’ HE SAID, ‘YES.’ HE WAS ASKED, ‘CAN THE
BELIEVER BE A LIAR?’ HE SAID, ‘NO.’ ‘
Malik’s Mu’atta # 56.7.19
The Messenger (Salla-Allahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam)
said:
‘I SAW (IN A DREAM), TWO MEN CAME TO ME.’
THEN THE PROPHET NARRATED THE STORY
(SAYING), ‘THEY SAID, ‘THE PERSON, THE ONE
WHOSE CHEEK YOU SAW BEING TORN AWAY
(FROM THE MOUTH TO THE EAR) WAS A LIAR
AND USED TO TELL LIES AND THE PEOPLE WOULD
REPORT THOSE LIES ON HIS AUTHORITY TILL
THEY SPREAD ALL OVER THE WORLD. SO HE WILL
BE PUNISHED LIKE THAT TILL THE DAY OF
RESURRECTION.”
Bukhari
Allah, the Exalted says:
“…BUT THOSE WHO DISBELIEVE INVENT LIES
AGAINST ALLAH, AND MOST OF THEM HAVE NO
UNDERSTANDING.”
Al-Maeda 5:103
The Messenger (Salla-Allahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam)
said:

“LYING IS NOT GOOD, WHETHER IN SERIOUSNESS
OR JOKING.”
Al-Baihaqi
Allah, the Exalted says:
