Friday Sermon: Self Reliance, Let’s be truthful, avoid cheating and deception!, By Imam Abubakar Ishaq Al-madany.
Whoever falls into something of cheating and deception must repent to Allah the Almighty, regret what he did, resolve not to return to it, and seek forgiveness from Allah the Almighty.



In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is His servant and Messenger.

Dear brothers and sisters! Know that, wallahi cheating and deception are despicable characteristics that are beneath a decent person. Intentionally distorting the truth in order to mislead others contradicts the values of honesty, which requires an attitude of sincerity, straightforwardness, and fairness that leaves no room for cheating, lying, trickery, or deceit. There are many texts from the Qur’an and the Sunnah conveying the meaning that cheating, whether the target be Muslims or non-Muslims, is forbidden.



Accepting the guidance of Islam leads a person to truthfulness, which means a person completely avoids cheating, deception and back-stabbing. The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said:

“Whoever bears arms against us is not one of us, and whoever cheats us is not one of us.” [Muslim]

According to another report, the Prophet (Peace be upon him) passed by a pile of food in the market. He put his hand inside it and felt dampness, although the surface was dry. He said:

“O owner of the food, what is this?’ The man said, ‘It was damaged by rain, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said, ‘Why did you not put the rain-damaged food on top so that people could see it! Whoever cheats us is not one of us.” [Muslim]

Respected servants of Allah! True Muslim society is based on purity of feeling, love, sincerity toward every Muslim, and fulfillment of promises to every member of society. Its members are endowed with piety, truthfulness, and faithfulness. Cheating and deception are alien characters in contrast to the noble character of a true Muslim. There is no room in it for swindlers, double crossers, tricksters, liars, deceivers, cheaters or traitors.


Dear brothers and sisters! Deception and cheating are forbidden by our pure Islamic law (Shari’ah), and the evidence for their prohibition is abundant. It is also narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah may Allah be pleased with him that the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said:

“He who treats us dishonestly does not belong to us.” [Muslim]

Accordingly, whoever falls into something of cheating and deception must repent to Allah the Almighty, regret what he did, resolve not to return to it, and seek forgiveness from Allah the Almighty.

Because in all his dealings, a true and sincere Muslim is supposed to be transparent and Allah-fearing. He is not allowed to deceive others or to cheat them.

Abu Hurairah reported: The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said:

“Years of treachery, cheating and deception will come over people in which liars are believed and the truthful are denied, the deceitful are trusted and the trustworthy are considered traitors, and the Ruwaibidah will deliver speeches.” It was said, ‘Who are the Ruwaibidah?’ The Prophet said, ‘Petty men with authority over the people.” [Ibn Majah]

Also the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said:

“Before the Hour comes, there will be years of deceit, in which a truthful person will be disbelieved and a liar will be believed; and the insignificant will have a say.” [Ahmad]

All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May the peace, blessings and salutations of Allah be upon our noble Messenger, Muhammad (Peace be upon him), and upon his family, his Companions and his true followers.

Detective Abdullahi Ishaq Jibrin in his response to the purported and malicious story published through a paid blogger and the so-called civil society group.

He dared the Bauchi Chief Security Adviser to an open interview in one of TV stations in the country to unravel the truth of what happened in both EFCC and the Bauchi State Government House.
