Tell them Daddy's not home!!

 

"So you see," said Hamza's dad as he wrapped up perusing the storybook, "A Muslim never lies and consistently comes clean. That is the thing that Islam instructs us." 

All of a sudden, the phone chime rang strongly in the house. As little Hamza hurried to respond to it, his dad called out, "On the off chance that it is for me, disclose to them Daddy isn't home!!" 

Subhaan Allaah! 

This is only one the situations in our regular daily existences. We guarantee to be Muslims and unhesitatingly say that we are glad to follow it, however with regards to placing our words into activities, sadly, we are a long way from it. We show our youngsters a certain something yet we do another. We lecture devotion yet we ourselves don't rehearse it. 

We lie in our regular daily existences and in our dealings with everybody yet we are absolutely uninformed of it. 

There are a significant number of us who, ask and quick, and are quick to censure others. Yet, our pragmatic lives are loaded with all types of lying, misrepresentation and unscrupulousness. Also, we see instances of such lying left and right, throughout each and every day. 

Furthermore, lying doesn't simply mean altogether confronting misrepresentations directly. Lying incorporates a wide range of 'innocent exaggerations', duplicity, misdirections and imitation. 

Thus, advising your child to say "Daddy's not home' when, truth be told, you are not too far off is totally a from of lying. 

Also, not satisfying your guarantees intentionally, when you had the ability to do as such, is a type of lying. 

What's more, cheating in the tests is a type of lying. 

Your 'companion' checking you present, in spite of the fact that you were missing, is another type of lying. 

Faking a 'specialist's note' when truly, you were not debilitated, you just slept late or were too languid to even consider going to work or school is likewise lying. 

Telling the cop that your significant other is having a medical procedure or your child is wiped out, (or whatever else pardons one can consider) when he pulls you over for speeding is additionally lying. 

Deceitfulness in your transactions just as in your collaboration with others is lying. 

Giving bogus observer is probably the gravest type of lying.

Paper union with get a green card, adjusting a bill to 'set aside' some cash or for protection purposes or some other sort of close to home increase is additionally fraud and double dealing. 

What's more, the rundown continues endlessly… … . 

We fail to remember that Ibaadah doesn't mean simply asking and fasting. Genuine Ibaadah incorporates our 'Mu'amalaat', how we manage others, Muslims just as non-Muslims, our habits and our conduct. 

We fail to remember that lying is on of the MAJOR SINS. 

The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: "Will I not advise you of the best of significant sins?" They said: Yes, O Messenger of Allaah. He said: "Relationship of others with Allaah, noncompliance towards one's folks" – and he was leaning back, yet he SAT UP and said: "And bogus discourse and bogus observer." 

Also, we fail to remember that lying is one of the indications of the wolves in sheep's clothing. 

The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: 

"The indications of the fraud are three: when he talks, he lies, when he makes a guarantee he breaks it, and when he is depended with something he breaks that trust." (al-Bukhaari, Muslim) 

We likewise fail to remember that any clear 'acquire' that we get from this load of types of lying isn't in reality any increase whatsoever. 

All things considered, any cash that we procure or save is all haraam in light of the fact that we didn't acquire it legally. Also, it is one reason why dua is dismissed by Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta'ala. 

Recollect the Hadeeth of the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam): 

"Then, at that point he referenced a man who had been going for quite a while and was tousled and dusty; he loosens up his hands towards the sky and says, 'O Lord, O Lord', yet his food is haraam, his beverage is haraam, his clothing is haraam. He is fed by haraam, so how might his du'aa' be acknowledged?" (Muslim) 

What's more, probably the greatest mischief of lying is that it is the way in to the entryway of Hellfire. 

The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: 

"Be careful with lying, for lying prompts unethical behavior and corruption prompts Hellfire. A man will continue advising falsehoods and endeavoring to lie until he is recorded with Allaah as a liar." (Muslim) 

Along these lines we as Muslims, should figure out how to perceive the various types of lying as we run over them. We should acknowledge what being honest truly implies. It implies talking reality and saying and doing things that reflect reality.We need to recollect the gravity of transgression associated with lying and endeavor as well as could be expected to come clean under all conditions, regardless of what the result. 

In the event that you dread Allaah, He will discover courses out of all troubles for you and accommodate you from implies you never at any point envisioned. 

"Furthermore, whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his obligation to Him, He will clear a path for him to get out (from each trouble). Also, He will give him from (sources) he never could envision. Also, whosoever places his trust in Allaah, then, at that point He will get the job done him. Verily, Allaah will achieve his motivation. In reality Allaah has set an action for all things." (Surah Talaaq:2-3) 

Isn't the above ayah enough update for us??!! 

"O you who accept! Fear Allaah, and be with the individuals who are TRUE (in word and deeds)." [al-Tawbah:119] 

'Leave what makes you question for that which doesn't make you question, for honesty is conviction and quietness, while lying is uncertainty and disarray." (Saheeh-al-Tirmidhi, al-Nisaa'i, and Ahmad)
