The Unacceptable Fast (Hadith No. 1622)

Bismillah.
Volume 3, Book 31, Number 127:
Narrated Abu Huraira (radiallaahu `anhu):
The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said, "Whoever does not give up forged speech and evil actions, Allah is not in need of his leaving his food and drink (i.e. Allah will not accept his fasting.)"
This tells us two things mainly:
  1. The person who's fasting MUST avoid major sins e.g. lying, and all sorts of evil actions.
    The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The five daily prayers, from one Jumu’ah to the next and from one Ramadaan to the next are expiation for (sins committed) in between, so long as you avoid major sins.” [Muslim]
    Repeat the last phrase: "..so long as you avoid major sins".
  2. Fasting is not just about leaving food and drink. There's much more to it. This exercise of avoiding halal food and drink in obedience to Allah's command is supposed to teach us how to leave the haram things (sins, for example) during and outside Ramadan in order to obey Allah (subhaanahu wata`aalaa). If you can fast, you can leave sins as well. It's not impossible. :)

Lying


Allama Ibtisam Elahi Zaheer

Lying is a very bad habit which must be avoided.Many people tell lies without any sound reason and do not take it as a sin . 

Some people tell lies just for the sake of joke and think that they have done a great job where as some other tell lies to sell the things and take it as a tool of trade where as another group tell lies to cheat the people and they are happy by making people fool.

All these people should bear in mind that lying is a big sin ad has been condemned by Allah and His Rasool salal laho aliehi wasalam.On one instance Rasool salal laho aliehi wasalam said:

Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. And a man keeps on telling the truth until he becomes a truthful person.Falsehood leads to Al-Fajur (i.e. wickedness, evil-doing), and Al-Fajur (wickedness) leads to the (Hell) Fire, and a man may keep on telling lies till he is written before Allah, a liar.(Sahih Bukhari :Volume 8, Book 73, Hadith 116).

May Allah swt save us from telling lies and give us taufeeq to say truth Ameen.
