promises when trading and taking advantage of people’s helplessness, mentioning false excuses and  collecting sympathies for oneself and others etc., have embedded in our society.

Ponder for a moment! When lying excessively is considered to be the secret to success, when lying is considered the way to gain blessings in wealth, then how will the society flourish? The punishment for lying is very frightening.

Punishment for lying

The Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated, ‘In my dream, a person came to me and requested, ‘Accompany me.’ I accompanied him, and I saw two people at a place, one of whom was standing and the second one was sitting. The one who was standing, had a specific tool made of metal in his hand, which he would put into one jaw of the man who was sitting down and drag it to rip up to the nape of his neck. He would then take it out, put it into the other jaw and drag it to rip in the same way. In the meantime, the first jaw would restore to normal condition. I asked the person who brought me, ‘What is this?’ He replied, ‘This person is a liar, and he will be tormented in this way in the grave until the Day of Judgement.’ (Musawi-ul-Akhlaq Lil Kharaiti, pp. 74, Hadees 131)

The famous saint, Sayyiduna Haatim Asam Balkhi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه says: The following statement has reached us that a lying person will be transformed into a dog in Hellfire. (Tanbih-ul-Mughtarrin, pp. 194)

O devotees of Holy Prophet! Ponder for a moment! The one who cannot bear pain in the molar tooth in this world, how will he bear the pain of having the jaws ripped in the Hereafter? The one who becomes restless when one mosquito bites him in this world, how will he endure the punishment in the grave which is caused by lying? Therefore, this bad habit should be abandoned as soon as possible. If every individual in the society repents from lying, then no doubt the society will be reformed to a great extent. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه
