titled ‘Bharat Mahan’ has been telling Hindus that Islam permits lying. He is
using unreliable traditions and anti-Islam websites to prove his claim. As no
Islamic scholar is supreme to Holy Quran, I think it appropriate to quote the Quranic
verses denouncing lying. The relevant verses are many but I am quoting a few
for example:Allah, the Almighty says, in Surah an-Nahl, verse 105:“Only they forge the lie who do not believe
in Allah’s communications, and these are the liars.” It is mentioned in Surah az-Zumar “Surely Allah does not guide him aright who is a liar, ungrateful.” (Surah
az-Zumar 39:3).Further, it figures in Surah Ali Imran(3:61) “... and pray for
the curse of Allah on the liars.” Surah an Nur (24.8) also
declares:”“... the curse of Allah be
on him if he is one of the liars.” (Surah an-Nūr 24:8).
Allah also says in
Surah al-Baqarah “...there shall be
no intercourse nor transgression nor quarreling amongst one another (during
Hajj).”(Surah al-Baqarah 2:197).The word “transgression” in this
ayat refers to falsehood or lying. Likewise, it is mentioned in Surah al-Hujurāt “O you who believe! If an evil-doer comes to you with a report, look
carefully into it, lest you harm a people in ignorance, then be sorry for what
you have done.” (Surah al-Hujurat 49:6).This ayat was revealed revealed for Walid, who is mentioned as an
“evil-doer”; i.e. a liar.
It is evident from
the above examples that Holy Qur’an considers lie as a great sin that calls for
divine curse and invites the anger of Allah. I urge Hindu brothers not to pay
heed to any malicious post of Bharat Mahan as he is working on the agenda of corrupting
the secular fabric of the country through rumor mongering. The contents of the
blog needs to be ignored.
