LyingLying is another sin which is classified among the Greater sins.Lying is one of the greatest sinsThere is a tradition from the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) that he said, "Beware I inform you regarding the greatest of the mortal sins:
Associating anything with Allah, disobeying parents and lying!"Angels curse the liarsThe Prophet of Islam says in one of his utterances:"When a believer utters a lie without a valid excuse, he is cursed
by seventy thousand angels. Such a stench emanates from his heart
that it reaches the sky and because of this single lie Allah writes
for him a sin equivalent to that of committing seventy formications
and such formications that the least of them is fornication with ones mother."(Mustadrakul Wasael).Doubtlessly, lying is the worst of sins. It is obvious that the evils
of lying are more dreadful than those of adultery. Some lies lead to
war between two tribes or two communities. Some lies are such that they
cause the destruction of life and honour of thousands of people. Or at
least lead to economic disasters.One kind of falsehood is that which is attributed to Allah, the Holy
Prophet (s.a.w.s.) or the Holy Imams (a.s.). Obviously this is the worst
kind of falsehood. Due to certain lies some innocent people are sent to
the gallows and their families destroyed. It is for this very reason that
the traditions state:"Lying is a greater evil than drinking wine."Sin of lying is worse than drinking wineImam Muhammad al-Baqir (a.s.) says:"Certainly Allah has created the lock for every evil and the key to all
these locks is drinking wine. But lying is worse that drinking." (Usoole Kafi)Although wine disables the reason and sense of the one who drinks it,
lying is such a sin that it kills the reason and makes one so completely
insensate that he becomes ready to commit any kind of satanic act. When
the alcoholic is under the influence of wine and is not in his proper
senses, it is not possible for him to act with cunning and treachery but
the liar could cause untold mischiefin the society through his cunning; much more than the drunkard can.The Angels abhor the liarsThe smell of the liar's mouth would be so terrible that even the Angels
will not go near them. They will keep away from the liars. This is not
only for the day of judgement. Even in this world, the Angels could feel
the foul odour of the mouths of the liars. In a prophetic traditions it
is said, "When a believer utters a lie, such a bad smell rises from his mouth
that even the Angels move away."(Mustadrakul Wasael)Falsehood deprives the liar from the taste of faith.Imam Ali (a.s.) says:"Every believer is deprived from the taste of faith till he gives up
lying in jest and also seriously."(Al Kafi)Lying is a sign of a hypocrite. The following tradition of the Holy
Prophet (s.a.w.s.) is present in the book of Mustadrakul Wasael:"The three signs of the hypocrite are:Lying, betraying trust and going back on his word (Not fulfilling a
promise)." Lying causes forgetfulnessImam Ja'far as-Sadiq (a.s.) is reported to have said, "One of the divine punishments for too much lying is that Allah makes
the liar afflicted with forgetfulness." (Wasaelush Shia)Thus a man speaks a lie and then forgets that he has told a lie.
Consequently people come to know that he has spoken a lie and his
falsity is exposed to the people.Now to save his face he speaks more and more lies and is more insulted
because his forgetfulness does not enable him to hide his false statements.Terrible punishment for the liarsVarious kinds of punishment befall the one who has lied. Aqa Rawandi
has quoted a lengthy tradition from the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) in his book
Dawaat. The Prophet (s.a.) is describing the spectacles of Meraj (Ascension),
when he says:"I saw a man, who laid flat on his back. Another person mounted upon his head.
The one who was standing upon the head had a pointed iron rod. He repeatedly
injured the person lying flat. The face of the victim is shattered upto the
neck. But when the rod is lifted it returns to its original form. Again the
rod strikes the face and he suffers the same retribution."The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) says that he inquired, "Why is this man punished?"He was told, "This is a man who left home in the morning and uttered such a
lie that it caused harm to the people. So he shall be punished in this manner
(after death) till the day of Qiyamat."False oath Another grade of falsehood is a false oath, false witness and
intentional avoidance of testifying in an Islamic court. This type of
falsehood is also a confirmed greater sin.Lying in jest (jokingly) and pleasantryLying in jest is another kind of falsehood. For example to tell a
simpleton that, "A certain lady wants to marry you," or "that person
has invited you for dinner tonight," when actually there is no such thing.
This type of falsehood is also haraam as proved conclusively from the traditions. However, certain Mujtahids are of the opinion that if something untrue is
said in a zestful manner and it is clearly understood to be a joke, then it
is permitted. For example a bachelor is told, "See, there goes your wife!"
It may be allowed because the listener could never misunderstand. In such a
case it is not haraam. Certain Mujtahids regard even a falsehood in jest to
be absolutely haraam. Whether it is an apparent joke or not. This is the
precautionary method and the traditions also confirm that lying even in jest
is not permitted.Total abstinence from lyingHazrat Imam Zainul Abedin (a.s.) says, "Avoid falsehood, whether it is small or big, in solemnity or jest." (Wasaelush Shia)Circumstances when lying is permittedWhenever there is a danger to life, honour and property and if the danger
is removed by lying, one is allowed to lie. The danger could be to ones
own life, honour and property or that of someone else's. So much so that
it is also permitted to take a false oath in this situation and in some
cases it becomes wajib (obligatory) to speak a lie. For example like the
risk to ones life. In this case it is wajib to save oneself by lying and
taking a false oath. For example if an oppressor intends to kill a Muslim
or to beat him up, dishonour him, seize his property or imprison him and
if he enquires from you of his whereabouts, it is obligatory not to tell
the truth. Even if one has to take a false oath and say that one does not
know of his whereabouts.In the same way if you have someone's trust in your possession and ifsomeone intends to seize it. It is your duty to protect the trust even if
you have to take the help of falsehood or a false oath.Reconciliation among peopleThe Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) has said, "After the fulfillment of wajib acts, the best action is to bring about
peace and reconciliation among people. This is such a goodness that spreads
goodness in the world."Amirul Momineen Ali (a.s.) said that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) has
said at the time of recording his will and testament."O Ali, Allah even likes a falsehood for the sake of peace and dislikes
truth that spreads corruption."(Wasaelush Shia)The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) has also said, "To make peace among the people and to think about reconciling the people,
and removing discord is better than prayers and fasting."

Trying To Build Society based on Peace and Justice
The one who love Imam e zaman(a.t.f.s) must be prepared to struggle and
labour his self, his pen and his wealth in the way of Imam e
zaman(a.t.f.s)
I remember the words of Imam (a.s), that we are responsible for the
duty, and not for the result. A warm smile washes away the tension of
confusion, as I thank Allah for the presence of my friend, whom Allah
may protect, and guide
IMAM E ZAMANA (a.f.t.s) Bless you And All Your Family those help others
and learn islam.
Syed Mohamad Masoom Abidi
