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.
