Ayat al-Quran

وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ یُّجَادِلُ فِی اللّٰهِ بِغَیْرِ عِلْمٍ وَّ لَا هُدًى وَّ لَا كِتٰبٍ مُّنِیْرٍۙ(۸)ثَانِیَ عِطْفِهٖ لِیُضِلَّ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ لَهٗ فِی الدُّنْیَا خِزْیٌ وَّ نُذِیْقُهٗ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ عَذَابَ الْحَرِیْقِ(۹)ذٰلِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ یَدٰكَ وَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَیْسَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِّلْعَبِیْدِ۠(۱۰)(سورۃ الحج)
Translation : And among the people are some who argue about Allah, although they have neither any knowledge, nor any guidance, nor any enlightening book. (8) They have their sides twisted in arrogance, so that they may lead others astray from the path of Allah, for such a person there is disgrace in the world, and on the Day of Judgment We will make him taste the punishment of the burning fire. (9) (Saying that) all this is the recompense for the deeds which you had sent ahead with your own hands, and it is a settled matter that Allah is not one to inflict injustice upon His servants. (10) (Asan Tarjumat-ul-Quran)

Prohibition of Lying to Children – A Lesson from Hadith on Truthfulness

Prohibition of Lying to Children – A Lesson from Hadith on Truthfulness

The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has forbidden lying even to young children. Accordingly, Hazrat Abdullah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Holy Prophet ﷺ was present at our house. My mother called out (extending her closed fist towards me), "Come here! I will give you something" (as mothers usually do to call a child close). The Holy Prophet ﷺ asked my mother, "What did you intend to give him?" My mother replied, "I wanted to give him a date." Upon this, the Prophet ﷺ remarked: أَمَا إِنَّكِ لَوْ لَمْ تُعْطِهِ شَيْئًا كُتِبَتْ عَلَيْكِ كَذِبَةٌ. (Al-Targhib wat-Tarhib, 3/370) "Know that if you had not given him anything, a lie would have been recorded against you in your scroll of deeds." From this Hadith, it is learned that many such things which are not considered lies in society can still incur the sin of lying. Giving false consolations and making fake promises to children is commonly prevalent everywhere, and it is not considered a lie at all. However, according to the above-mentioned saying of the Prophet ﷺ, this too falls under lying, from which care should be taken to abstain. (Rahman Ke Khas Bande, Page: 336)
