Ibn Majah related that the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said what means: “Beware of lying, because lying leads one to commit enormous sins, and committing enormous sins leads to Hellfire.”

Lying is to say on purpose what is different from the truth. Lying is haram whether or not one is joking.
In a Hadith related by al-Bayhaqiyy, the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said what means: “Lying is not virtuous seriously or jokingly.”

It is incumbent upon the Muslim to refrain from this sin so that one is not devastated. The Muslim speaks the truth because speaking the truth is a trait of the righteous Muslims.

Sometimes lying may inflict harm on the Muslims. In this case, it is an enormous sin.

Some people name a lie, like an April Fool’s joke, as a “white lie.” Such a lie is Islamically sinful.

The Tongue

 At-Tabaraniyy related that one of the companions addressed his tongue and said: “O tongue, say good and you will win. Be silent of uttering evil and you will be safe before you regret it. I heard the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, saying: ‘Most of the sins of the offspring of Adam are from their tongues.’”

The tongue is one of the blessings with which Allah endowed the humanity. In spite of its small size, the tongue can cause one’s admittance into Hellfire.

We should use the tongue in the ways of goodness, like mentioning the name of Allah, ta^ala, and reciting the Qur’an.

One should use it in saying the truth, ordering what is good, forbidding what is evil, and in carrying on all what brings benefit and goodness to the human beings.

We have also to protect our tongues from uttering blasphemy, which is the most harmful and damaging sin.

We also should protect it from telling lies, cursing, backbiting, tale-bearing, and uttering sinful, ugly, and harmful words to fellow Muslims.
