Fariq Naik – Making Fake Documents for Applying for a Job is Haraam

My name is Saklin Mushtaq.

I'm from India.

I'm a store manager by profession.

Can I present fake papers for the job

that I'm applying?

I'm applying for a job of IT and

I do not have any qualifications for this

job.

So, can I present fake papers in order

to apply for this job?

Making fake documents of fake papers in order

to apply for a particular job, it is

against the teachings of Islam.

It is haram.

So, for example, if a person is applying

for a job related to IT information technology

and he does not have the qualifications.

So, he makes fake documents.

For example, he makes a document saying that

he has done bachelor's in IT or master's

in IT or diploma in IT and then

he presents this for the job.

This is totally haram.

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him

said, whoever cheats is not among us.

So, cheating, lying, deceiving, these are against the

teachings of Islam.

So, we should see to that we do

not present these fake papers or fake documents.

Whatever qualification you have, you present it and

tell the interviewer that you will give your

best if you are appointed for this particular

company.

But you should not present fake papers and

fake documents.

And we see, unfortunately, this is very common.

People, they present fake papers, fake documents.

Certain people, in order to achieve or to

get a degree, they, many a times, they

pay the examiner.

For example, a person, he appears for a

medical examination and he knows that he is

going to fail.

So, he pays the examiner.

So, the examiner passes him.

Many people, they pay an individual in order

to sit in their place for the examination.

This is haram and this is against the

teachings of Islam.

Imagine a person who is not a qualified

doctor and he pays someone or he pays

the examiner so that the examiner passes him

in the examination and when he is later

on sitting in his clinic and there is

a patient who comes to him and this

is a critical situation and rather than saving

this patient, he ends up killing this patient

or taking the life of this patient because

he is not qualified.

He does not have the right qualification.

He does not know how to take care

of the situation.

Imagine a person who is an engineer and

he is involved in construction and he does

not know the basics regarding construction and because

of his lack of knowledge, when the building

is built, after a few days, it collapses.

So, that's the reason when Islam tells us

that we should not cheat, we should not

lie, we should not deceive.

It is for our benefit.

Whenever Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us

that something it is haram, it is for

our benefit so that we live in the

society in a peaceful way and so that

the society it will be a better place

to live in.

So, we Muslims should know what is haram,

what is halal and we should live our

life as per the Islamic Sharia and if

we do so, we will find success in

this life as well as in the year

after.
