Almighty Allah Is Free From All Defects

It is the belief of the Ahle Sunnat wa Jama'at that Almighty Allah does not lie and He does not possess the power of telling a lie. Allah is free from all defects and those things which lead to defects. Almighty Allah says in the Holy Quráan

وَمَنۡ أَصۡدَقُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ قِيلٗا

“And whose word is more truthful than that of Allah?”

[Surah Nisa Verse.122]

وَمَنۡ أَصۡدَقُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ حَدِيثٗا

“And whose word is more truthful than the word of Allah.”

[Surah Nisa Verse.87]

Imam-ul-Mufassireen, Imam Fakhrudeen Raazi rađiyAllāhu ánhu states:

“It is not permissible for any Muslim to even think that Allah can tell a lie. Actually to even think such a thought removes one from the folds of Imaan.” - [Tafseer Kabeer Vol.5 – Pg.179]

He further mentions:

“To be truthful is from amongst the Attributes of Allah. The evidence for this is that to tell a lie is a defect for Allah and for Allah to have any defect is Muhaal (Totally impossible)” - [Tafseer Kabeer Vol.4 - Pg.138]

Umdatul Mufassireen Imam Abdur Rahmaan Baidhawi rađiyAllāhu ánhu states:

“A lie cannot find any place in the Message of Allah, as it is a defect and to have a defect Muhaal for Allah.” - [Tafseer Baidhawi Pg.150]

Zubdatul Mufassireen Allama Ali bin Muhammad Khaazin states:

“(The point to be mentioned) is the fact that there is none more truthful than Allah and He does not go against His Word and it is totally impossible for Allah to lie” - [Tafseer Khaazin Vol.1 – Pg. 421]

Allama Khateeb Muhammad bin Sharbini (rađiyAllāhu ánhu) states:

“The above command of Almighty Allah is sufficient evidence that it is Muhaal (absolutely impossible) for there to be a lie in the Message of Allah.” - [Tafseer Sirajum Muneer Vol.1 – Pg.73]

Allama Muhammad bin Abdullah Tamartaashi rađiyAllāhu ánhu states:

“To say that Allah has the ability of tyranny, lies and ignorance is totally incorrect as it is an absolute impossibility. The reason for this is because that which is Muhaal (absolutely impossible) cannot be accepted to be within the Power of Almighty Allah. [E.g. the creation of another Allah which is definitely Muhaal] and according to the Mu’tazilas (another corrupt sect – firqa), He has the power but does not do so (Allah forbid”) - [Tanweer ul Absaar]

It is in Fatawa Alamgiri:

“Any person who says Allah to possess a certain attribute which is not worthy of His Being, or says Allah Ta’aala to be weary or to have some weakness, then such a person committed kufr.” - [Fatawa Alamgiri Vol.2 – Pg.258]

Allama Muhammad bin Ali Qaari (rađiyAllāhu ánhu) states:

“One must not think that Allah has power over tyranny since this is Muhaal for Allah and that which is Muhaal is not under the Qudrat (Power) of Allah. The Mu’tazilas however believes that Allah has this power and does not do it.”- [Sharah Fiqh Akbar]

Note: This belief of the Mu’tazilas is absolutely corrupt and unacceptable.

Imam Rabbani Mujaddid Alf Thaani Shaykh Ahmad Sarhindi Faarooqi rađiyAllāhu ánhu states:

“That Most Exalted ONE (Allah) is free and pure from all defects, direction and limitations.” - [Maktoobat Vol.1 -Page.314]
