Quran Declares Lying as a Great Sin

Dr. Mazhar Naqvi
Operator of a blog 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.
