Page 46 - What the Qur'an Says about Liars and Their Methods

WHAT THE QUR'AN SAYS ABOUT LIARS AND THEIR METHODS
reaches their idols! What an evil judgment they
make! (Surat al-An`am, 6:136)
Allah informs people who assign a share of their posses-
sions to Him and a share to their idols that they have made an
evil judgment. People who adhere to the morality and faith of
which Allah approves can never give any of their devotion or
obedience to Satan, for such sincere believers conform to His
will at all times. They place Allah's will and mercy, as well as
Paradise, above any advantage that they might obtain by
lying. In the Qur'an, Allah tells us that religion belongs only to
Him:
Indeed is the sincere religion not Allah's alone?
People who take protectors besides Him [say]: "We
only worship them so that they may bring us nearer
to Allah." Allah will judge between them regarding
the things about which they differed. Allah does not
guide anyone who is an ungrateful liar. (Surat az-
Zumar, 39:3)
In addition, sincere and obedient believers never engage
in behavior that would justify Satan, because Satan has said
that a great majority of people will follow him. Thus, he has
started a war against the path of Allah, and the more people
who follow him, the greater he believes his victory to be. Allah
tells us about this satanic logic in the following verses:
Iblis was correct in his assessment of them and they
followed him, except for a group of the believers. He
had no authority over them, except to enable Us to
know those who believe in the Hereafter from those
who are in doubt about it. Your Lord is the Preserver
of all things. (Surah Saba’, 34:20-21)
As can be seen in Allah's verses, Satan is greatly deceived.
