THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 28th day of Jumaadal Aakhir, 1445AH (Wednesday, 10th January 2024). *_Can We forge certificates for jobs and admissions in corrupt non Islamic countries*. BismilLahir.
According to Sharia (Quran, Sunnah and Consensus of Scholars), it's not part of the character of a true believer in ALLAH and the last day to lie or give false witness. ALLAH Subhanah commands the believers to always speak the truth and give witnesses on the side of the truth, even if it is against one’s own self.
ALLAH Says in the Holy Quran in Chapter 4 Surah Nisaa verse 135: “O ye who believe! Stand out firmly for justice as witnesses to ALLAH, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for ALLAH can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts) lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice), or decline to do justice; verily ALLAH is well-acquainted with all that ye do.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 8.7 Narrated by Abu Bakra: ALLAH'S Messenger (saws) said thrice, "Shall I not inform you of the Biggest of the Great Sins?" We said, "Yes, O ALLAH'S Messenger (saws). " He (saws) said, "To join partners in worship with ALLAH; to be undutiful to one's parents." The Prophet sat up after he (saws) had been reclining and added, "And I warn you against *_giving forged statement and a false witness_*; I warn you against giving a forged statement and a false witness!" The Prophet (sallalLaahu ) kept on saying that warning till we thought that he (saws) would not stop!’
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 8.116 Narrated by Abdullah: The Prophet (saws) said, "Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man keeps on telling the truth until he is recorded with ALLAH as ‘a truthful person’. Falsehood leads to Al-Fajur (i.e. wickedness, evil-doing, etc.), and Al-Fajur leads to the (Hell) Fire! A man may keep on telling lies till he is written before ALLAH, ‘a liar’." In light of the above commands of ALLAH and HIS Messenger (saws) it would indeed be a grave sin and not befit the character of a true believer to lie in order to gain a paltry advantage for himself in this world!
If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and commands of ALLAH and HIS Messenger (saws), one can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and follows any other guidance, other than that of ALLAH and HIS Messenger (saws), one can be assured of being led astray.
ALLAH Alone Knows Best and HE is the only source of strength. *_We ask that HE keep us away from any acts of disobedience and grant us the best in dunya and aakhira_*. Aameen.
