00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			My name is Saklin Mushtaq.
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			I'm from India.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			I'm a store manager by profession.
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:14
			Can I present fake papers for the job
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:14
			that I'm applying?
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			I'm applying for a job of IT and
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			I do not have any qualifications for this
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:21
			job.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			So, can I present fake papers in order
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			to apply for this job?
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:30
			Making fake documents of fake papers in order
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			to apply for a particular job, it is
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			against the teachings of Islam.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			It is haram.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			So, for example, if a person is applying
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			for a job related to IT information technology
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			and he does not have the qualifications.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			So, he makes fake documents.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			For example, he makes a document saying that
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			he has done bachelor's in IT or master's
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			in IT or diploma in IT and then
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			he presents this for the job.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			This is totally haram.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			Our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			said, whoever cheats is not among us.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			So, cheating, lying, deceiving, these are against the
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:02
			teachings of Islam.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			So, we should see to that we do
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			not present these fake papers or fake documents.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			Whatever qualification you have, you present it and
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
			tell the interviewer that you will give your
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			best if you are appointed for this particular
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:16
			company.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			But you should not present fake papers and
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			fake documents.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			And we see, unfortunately, this is very common.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			People, they present fake papers, fake documents.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			Certain people, in order to achieve or to
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			get a degree, they, many a times, they
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			pay the examiner.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			For example, a person, he appears for a
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			medical examination and he knows that he is
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			going to fail.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			So, he pays the examiner.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			So, the examiner passes him.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			Many people, they pay an individual in order
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			to sit in their place for the examination.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			This is haram and this is against the
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			teachings of Islam.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			Imagine a person who is not a qualified
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:55
			doctor and he pays someone or he pays
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			the examiner so that the examiner passes him
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			in the examination and when he is later
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			on sitting in his clinic and there is
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			a patient who comes to him and this
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			is a critical situation and rather than saving
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:09
			this patient, he ends up killing this patient
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			or taking the life of this patient because
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			he is not qualified.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			He does not have the right qualification.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			He does not know how to take care
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:16
			of the situation.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:21
			Imagine a person who is an engineer and
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
			he is involved in construction and he does
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:30
			not know the basics regarding construction and because
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:34
			of his lack of knowledge, when the building
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:39
			is built, after a few days, it collapses.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:44
			So, that's the reason when Islam tells us
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			that we should not cheat, we should not
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			lie, we should not deceive.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			It is for our benefit.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			Whenever Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			that something it is haram, it is for
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			our benefit so that we live in the
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:00
			society in a peaceful way and so that
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			the society it will be a better place
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			to live in.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:06
			So, we Muslims should know what is haram,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			what is halal and we should live our
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:12
			life as per the Islamic Sharia and if
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			we do so, we will find success in
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			this life as well as in the year
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:17
			after.
