WHAT THE QUR'AN SAYS ABOUT LIARS AND THEIR METHODS
an-Nisa’, 4:97)
In another verse, Allah describes the liars' last moments of
life in this world and their ultimate end, as follows:
Who could do greater wrong than someone who in-
vents lies against Allah or denies His Signs, or who
says: "It has been revealed to me," when nothing has
been revealed to him, or someone who says: "I will
send down the same as Allah has sent down."? If you
could only see the wrongdoers in the throes of death,
when the angels are stretching out their hands, say-
ing: "Disgorge your own selves! Today you will be re-
paid with the punishment of humiliation for saying
something other than the truth about Allah..." (Surat
al-An`am, 6:93)
Those who do not respect the limits set by Allah and make
a habit of lying will feel great regret in the Hereafter. Those
who have wisdom and a conscience should consider this end,
stay away from all lies, both great and small, and always tell
the truth.
