SHORT SERMON (KULTUM): The Danger of Lying in the Name of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

In an age of digital speed and viral misinformation, this book offers a much-needed reminder of the gravity of transmitting religious information—especially those attributed to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him)—without verification. The Danger of Lying in the Name of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is a concise yet powerful exposition rooted in a hadith narrated by Imam Muslim, where the Prophet (PBUH) sternly warns against spreading fabricated narrations in his name.

This book does not merely highlight the legal and theological consequences of falsely attributing words to the Prophet; it serves as a spiritual and ethical compass for every Muslim who seeks to protect the sanctity of the Sunnah. Through reflective commentary, practical advice, and deep reverence for Islamic sources, the author emphasizes three essential principles: avoid gullibility, verify authenticity (tabayyun), and refrain from sharing doubtful narrations.

Written with clarity and sincerity, this book is an invitation to all Muslims—students, teachers, preachers, and the digitally engaged—to uphold integrity in sharing religious knowledge. It warns that a seemingly small act, such as forwarding a hadith without knowing its validity, could lead to a grave sin: becoming one of the liars, as the Prophet (PBUH) described.

A must-read for anyone concerned with preserving the purity of Islamic teachings in today's era of information overload, this book ultimately calls us back to humility, scholarship, and responsibility in our religious communication.
