Lying is not just a word; it is a disease that darkens the heart, poisons relationships, eats away faith, and distances one from Allah’s blessings.

“Lying leads to evil, and evil leads to Hell.”
(Bukhari and Muslim)

Tell one lie, and you have taken your own steps towards Hell.

every lie is disliked by Allah.
Truth: The Path to Paradise

“Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise.”
(Bukhari and Muslim)

And the one who speaks the truth is honored by Allah.

The Glory of a Truthful Person
Allah Almighty says in the Quran:
“O you who have believed, fear Allah and be with the truthful.”
(At-Tawbah: 119)
“O you who have believed! Fear Allah and be with the truthful.”
Allah Almighty commands the company of the truthful, not the liars.
Why?
Because truthfulness is a sign of faith, and lying is hypocrisy.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
“The signs of a hypocrite are three: when he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and when he is entrusted with a trust, he betrays it.”
(Bukhari)
Do we want to be counted among the hypocrites?
Of course not!
