Why Do We Lie? The Islamic Cure for a Dangerous Disease | Dr. Haifaa Younis

Описание: Lying has become so common today that many people barely notice it anymore.
In fact, telling the truth can sometimes feel abnormal — especially for young Muslims growing up in a world where exaggeration, false images, and dishonesty are everywhere.

In this deeply important lecture, Dr. Haifaa Younis asks three powerful questions:

Why do we lie?

What is so dangerous about lying in Islam?

How did something so sinful become so normal?

She explains that lying is not only about words — but also about actions that create a false impression. Using the story of Prophet Yusuf (AS), she shows how his brothers lied through speech and even through physical evidence, knowing fully what they were doing.

Dr. Haifaa reminds us that the Qur’an never praises lying — it is always connected to wrongdoing, hypocrisy, and فساد (corruption). The Prophet ﷺ himself was known as As-Sadiq Al-Ameen, the truthful and trustworthy.

She highlights the famous hadith:

Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Jannah.
Lying leads to sin, and sin leads to punishment.

The lecture also explores:

Why people lie (insecurity, habit, escaping trouble, gaining status)

How lying destroys trust and weakens iman

The signs of hypocrisy in character

The seriousness of spreading false information or fake hadith

The rare exceptions scholars mention — and why they must never be abused

How to avoid lying through truthful “double meaning” (ta‘rīḍ)

This is a reminder every Muslim needs — because truth is not just a behavior… it is a path to Paradise.

📌 Fear Allah… and be with the truthful.
