effects of this is that the behaviour and attitude of the child is also damaged by such lies, consequently children are deprived from hearing and speaking the truth rather they develop a habit of listening to and telling lies from childhood. Children who grow up in such environments lie all the time as they grow older. To summarise, we must not lie in front of our children.

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin ‘Aamir رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی عَـنْهُ narrated: ‘One day the Most Beloved and Blessed Rasool صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰى عَـلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم visited our home. My mother said to me: ‘Come, I will give you something.’ Noticing this, the most Noble Nabi صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰى عَـلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم asked her: ‘What do you intend to give (to him)?’ ‘I’ll give him date [to eat].” She answered. Upon which the Rasool of Rahmah, the Intercessor of the Ummah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰى عَـلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم remarked: ‘If you would not have given him anything, it would have been recorded as a lie in your deed-register.’(Abi Dawood, vol. 4, pp. 387, Hadees 4991)

Dear Islamic sisters! From this glorious Hadith we learnt absolutely well that it is prohibited in Islam to lie even to children. Therefore anyone who has ever done so in the past must instantly and sincerely repent and inculcate a permanent habit of speaking the truth. We must abstain from lying ourselves and also make efforts to guard our children from this despicable trait. To help attain this goal please study the 37-page booklet ‘Jhoota Chor’ (The Lying Thief) written by Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, founder of Dawat-e-Islami, ‘Allamah Maulana Abu Bilal Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qaadiri Razavi Ziyaee دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه, as well as studying it yourselves please encourage your children to study it too. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ you will get rid of the habit of lying.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Affixing false titles

Dear Islamic sisters! We normally have certain terms that signify certain specific distinctions or degrees, however as a result of excessive fraud, deception and lying we notice these terms being used by certain individuals who have absolutely no connection whatsoever with these degrees and accolades.
