\n\tQuestion:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAsalaam o alaikum I work for a religious organisation and my question is this. If people\/s who are in charge of a Islamic organisation create lies towards other individuals but hide these lies very well using their position of authority then Islamically what should be done regarding such people\/s. Answer with proofs only please.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

\n\tIf there is anyone who is above them, then you can tell them of their wrongdoings and deceptions. You can also advise them to stop their deception and wrongdoings.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
\n\tIt is narrated by Saaiduna Anas \"ra\u1e0dyAll\u0101hu that the Prophet of Allah \"\u1e63allall\u0101hu said, “Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or is being oppressed.” <\/strong>People asked, “O Prophet of Allah! We help the one being oppressed but how do we help an oppressor?” The Prophet said, “By seizing his hand (preventing him from oppression).”<\/strong> (Sahih Bukhari)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe people in charge of the Islamic organisations should be warned that Allah has bestowed them with a responsibility and to abuse their authority is a sin which will lead to being questioned by Allah \"sub\u1e25\u0101nahu.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Prophet of Allah \"\u1e63allall\u0101hu said: “Each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock. The ruler is the shepherd of his people and is responsible for his flock… (Sahih Bukhari & Sahih Muslim)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
\n\tIt is narrated by Saaiduna Abdullah Ibn Amr \"ra\u1e0dyAll\u0101hu that the Prophet of Allah \"\u1e63allall\u0101hu said, “It is sufficient sin for a man to neglect those who are under his care.” (Musnad Ahmad and Sunan Abu Dawuud)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Prophet of Allah \"\u1e63allall\u0101hu said “There is no man whom Allah causes to be appointed to a position of responsibility and he does not discharge his duties sincerely, but he will not even smell the fragrance of Paradise.” (Sahih Bukhari)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
\n\tOnly Allah Knows Best<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
