It is stated in the Qur'an , ' They are deceiving Allah and His righteous servants. They are deceiving themselves and no one else. But they do not realize. (Actually) they have a disorder in their heart. (Because of deception) Allah has increased their disorder. For them is a humiliating punishment. Because they lied. -Surah Al-Baqara: 9-10 In the eyes of Islam, deception and deception are such heinous crimes. In the same way, deceivers do not only deceive others through their misdeeds. Rather, they have taken themselves hostage in this crime ring. In the Holy Qur'an, Allah Ta'ala declares, "Deception surrounds the deceivers." -Surah Fatir: 43
