Answer:

 

Lie on asylum papers

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

It would not behove the character of a true believer in Allah and the Last Day to lie. Allah Subhanah commands the believers to always speak the Truth and give witnesses on the side of the Truth, even if it be against one’s own self.

 

Allah Says in the Holy Quran in Chapter 4 Surah Nisaa verse 135: O ye who believe! Stand out firmly for justice as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts) lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice), or decline to do justice; verily Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.

 

In light of the above command of Allah Subhanah, and the various teachings of the Messenger of Allah (saws), it would not behove the character of a true believer to lie on a petty issue to gain a small advantage for himself in this world! The believers are commanded to speak the Truth at all times, and it would not behove the character of a believer to lie on his asylum application papers and claim he is a shia or a ahmadi, etc., when in reality he is not!

 

Sahih Muslim Hadith 6306 Narrated by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud

The Prophet Muhammad (saws) said: “The person tells the truth until he is recorded (with Allah Subhanah) as truthful; and he tells a lie until he is recorded (with Allah Subhanah) as a liar.”

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your Brother in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
