Q630: Do ulemae deoband believe that Allah lies?

Share This Post

Question: I have recently heard a certain sheikh accusing Deoband ullama of suggesting that Allah can lie. is this correct?

Answer: Don’t fall into such arguments! You know Ulema-e-Deoband fully well. So keep your connection with the ulema, learn from them and derive maximum benefit from them. They are the ulema of haq and they are the ones who have been upholding the truth in times of fitnas.

The reality is that some ulema of Deoband were asked, “Can Allah lie?” They explained that Allah never lies. Allah Himself has said in the Quran:

وَمَنْ أَصْدَقُ مِنَ اللَّهِ حَدِيثًا (Surah Nisaa: 87)
وَمَنْ أَصْدَقُ مِنَ اللَّهِ قِيلًا(Surah Nisaa: 122)

“Who is more truthful in words than Allah?”

Allah doesn’t need to lie. He is not scared of anyone nor does He need to please anyone so that He would tell a lie. He has instructed us to speak the truth at all times, so why would He do the opposite?

Thereafter they explained that Allah has the power to do whatever he wants. So if he wanted to lie, nobody can stop him. No one can take that power away from him.There is a difference between “Allah does lie” and “Allah can lie.”

So people who don’t like Ulemae-Deoband mix both things and say that they believe that Allah does lie.

Be careful of the deceit of such misleading people.
