Abstract

In the current century, the religion of Islam is facing many new temptations and challenges. One of them is the temptation of social media. Through this fitna, any matter is spread all over the world very quickly. The anti-religious forces created hadiths on their behalf to defame Islam and spoil the true face of Islam. Then these traditions became famous among the people. In this era, it has come to general observation that Hadith Rasool is written on wise and mystical sayings and uploaded on the internet and then that thing spreads all over the world. In particular, it has been observed that a post shared on a new Islamic month is a reward for the bearer of that month's good news. Then everyone shares this post on their Facebook and other social media accounts to get a reward, while this is not found anywhere in the hadith books. It is a grave sin to call a false tradition a prophet of Hadith, and a strict covenant has been made against it. Such hadiths are made by the anti-Islamic forces to mock and ridicule the religion of Islam. Sometimes it also happens that people who do not understand the religion among Muslims simply upload what they have heard on social media as a reward and then Simple Muslims keep sending these false traditions with the intention of getting a reward. Most of such traditions are fabricated and false. All such traditions whose words are superficial and weak, or in which there is a promise of a great reward for a small action, or a promise of a great punishment for a minor sin, or the achievement of giving the good news of a month. Whether it is a promise of paradise or good news or seeking personal interest from this hadith, such traditions should not be shared without research. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid sharing such posts. It should not be uploaded to the media and should not be shared. Only the hadiths issued by certified religious and educational institutions should be shared. In this regard, the scholars should be consulted and satisfaction should be obtained only after their support and confirmation.

One liar is the one who fabricated the hadith and the other liar is the narrator of this tradition. This does not mean that one of the two is a liar, but it means that both of them are liars, one of them is the narrator of the tradition.
