Every Muslim knows that lying is one of the major sins in Islam. Therefore, this khutbah will not address the dangers of lying. Instead, this khutbah will shed light on the many different forms of lying which many of us fall into unknowingly.

"O you who believe! Be afraid of Allaah, and be with those who are true (in word and deeds)." [al-Tawbah 9:119]

"It is only those who believe not in the Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allaah, who fabricate falsehood, and it is they who are liars." [al-Nahl 16:105]

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The signs of the hypocrite are three: when he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and when he is entrusted with something, he betrays that trust." (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 33; Muslim, 59)

It was narrated that Hafs ibn 'Aasim said: "The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: 'It is sufficient lying for a man to speak of everything that he hears.'" (Narrated by Muslim, 5)
