“Today, the state of the world has become very precarious. From every aspect and in every form, one can observe falsehood: false witnesses are being produced, false cases are being filed, and false certificates are being fabricated. When people speak on certain matters, they twist the truth [to suit their narrative].
“Now, one should ask those who do not recognise the need for this Jamaat whether this was the religion brought by the Holy Prophetsa. Allah the Exalted has declared falsehood to be filth, commanding us to avoid it:
فَاجۡتَنِبُوا الرِّجۡسَ مِنَ الۡاَوۡثَانِ وَاجۡتَنِبُوۡا قَوۡلَ الزُّوۡرِ
“[‘Shun therefore the abomination of idols, and shun all words of untruth.’ (Surah al-Hajj, Ch. 22: V. 31)]. Here, falsehood has been equated with idolatry.”
