WHAT THE QUR'AN SAYS ABOUT LIARS AND THEIR METHODS
to show that religion contains things that it does not. Likewise,
they present as non-existent some things that are contained in
religion. In the Qur'an, Allah warns these people that He will
punish them in Hell:
Who could do greater wrong than those who lie about
Allah and deny the truth when it comes to them? Do
the unbelievers not have a dwelling place in Hell?
(Surat az-Zumar, 39:32)
On the Day of Rising you will see those who lied
against Allah with their faces blackened. Do not the
arrogant have a dwelling place in Hell? (Surat az-
Zumar, 39:60)
Who could do greater wrong than those who invent
lies against Allah? Such people will be arrayed be-
fore their Lord and the witnesses will say: "Those are
the ones who lied against their Lord." Yes indeed!
Allah's curse is on the wrongdoers, those who bar ac-
cess to the way of Allah and seek in it something
crooked and reject the Hereafter. They were not able
to thwart Allah on Earth, and had no protectors be-
sides Allah. The punishment will be doubled for
them. They were unable to hear and could not see.
(Surah Hud, 11:18-20)
Allah gives some examples of the imaginary things that
people say are part of religion:
Those of you who divorce your wives by equating
them with your mothers—they are not your mothers.
Your mothers are only those who gave birth to you.
What you are saying is wrong and a slanderous lie.
But Allah is Ever-Pardoning, Ever-Forgiving. (Surat
al-Mujadala, 58:2)
