Propaganda in Islam

Allah Almighty says in holy Quran:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا

(Surah al-Hujurat, Ayat 6)

“O believers! If some (wicked) person brings you any news, inquire thoroughly in its truth.”

Allah Almighty has ordained the believers in this verse to fully investigate the matters before forming their opinions on any matter. The purpose of doing so is to sift fact from fiction.

Holy Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) said:

کَفٰی بِالْمَرْءِ کَذِبًا اَنْ يُحَدِّثَ بِکُلِّ مَا سَمِعَ

(Sahih Muslim, vol. 1, p. 10 # 5)

“It is sufficient for somebody to be a liar that he conveys every hearsay (without inquiring into its reality) to others.”

The believers are being asked not to believe in the hearsay and fully investigate the matters from all angles before passing it on to others. They should only convey when the truth of the matter has been established because passing on such things without proper inquiry is like telling lie.
