Page 83 - What the Qur'an Says about Liars and Their Methods

The Qur'an Describes Liars
Is it falsehood—deities besides Allah—that you de-
sire? (Surat as-Saffat, 37:86)
No indeed, it is one of their blatant lies to say: "Allah
has given birth." They are truly liars. (Surat as-Saffat,
37:151-52)
And [He has sent down the Book] to warn those who
say: "Allah has a son." They have no knowledge of
this, neither they nor their fathers. It is a monstrous
utterance that has issued from their mouths. What
they say is nothing but a lie. (Surat al-Kahf, 18:4-5)
Among the People of the Book there are some who, if
you entrust them with a pile of gold, will return it to
you. But there are others among them who, if you en-
trust them with just a single dinar, will not return it to
you unless you stay standing over them. That is be-
cause they say: "We are under no obligation where
the Gentiles are concerned." They tell a lie against
Allah, and they know it. (Surah Al `Imran, 3:75)
Among them is a group who distort the Book with
their tongues so that you think it is from the Book
when it is not from the Book. They say: "It is from
Allah," but it is not from Allah. They tell a lie against
Allah, and they know it. (Surah Al `Imran, 3:78)
Some people make up lies in order not to join the true reli-
gion or follow Allah's path. Allah addresses these people with
the following words:
Who could do greater wrong than someone who in-
vents a lie against Allah when he has been called to
Islam? Allah does not guide wrongdoing people.
(Surat as-Saff, 61:7)
Some people tell lies about Allah and try to present Him
