Under what circumstances believer can lie
-
Please don't be so silly as to think Allah leaves out very basic commandments in his quran.
Moses vs Pharaoh
Pharaoh said, "Let me kill Moses, and let him implore his Lord. I worry lest he corrupts your religion, or spreads evil throughout the land."
Moses said, "I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord, from every arrogant one who does not believe in the Day of Reckoning."
God Guides Not the Liars
A believing man among Pharaoh's people, who was concealing his belief, said, "How can you kill a man just for saying, `My Lord is GOD,' and he has shown you clear proofs from your Lord? If he is a liar, that is his problem, and if he is truthful, you benefit from his promises. Surely, GOD does not guide any transgressor, liar.

OPF,
My argument is that there is no contridiction in the Quran then why does prophets lied in those two circumstances, and I am sticking with my argument, that lieing is not totally forbidden for a believer, because under extreme circumstances like oppression one can lie like I proved above.
Now regarding (402 and ..Surely, GOD does not guide any transgressor, liar.. The word surley here makes me think that this new believer was not sure, he was a new believer and he was not familiar with all the laws thus the word "Surley" used above.. Therefore this statement cannot be taken as Gospal..

242 And do not confound the truth with falsehood, nor keep the truth secret while you know.
Confound means to confuse or to throw into disorder.
So when it says And do not confound the truth.. Is this truth specific or general.. To clarify this when we take the gv of Quran 382 and concatenate with the chapter and verse above the number is completely multiple of 19. This proves that the Truth above is the Quran and when it says nor keep the truth secret, it is talking about disbelievers who hide the truth in the Quran to keep their face and reputation a well known fact..
382 2 42 = 20118 x 19 or 2235 / 3 Position 3 clarifies and confirms attribute to an entity, the entity above is Quran and attribute which clarifies is the Truth..
Therefore 242 is not not a general statement telling believers not to lie but a specific statement telling us not to hide truth in the Quran..

It is implicating that nobody should mix the Quran/truth with lies.

Peace Ijaz, everyone,
Joseph Keeps His Brother
When he provided them with their provisions, he placed the drinking cup in his brother's bag, then an announcer announced "The owners of this caravan are thieves."The plan was god's plan and not Youssef's plan as clear from 1276. Youssef revealed himself to his brother in 1269 prior to the whole episode. Since we don't know how the item went missing, Youssef could have indeed made his brother really take the missing item as part of the god's plan.
Abraham Proves His Point
He said, "It is that big one who did it. Go ask them, if they can speak."This is certainly not a lie. This is using irony as a rhetoric device. When I tell you "it was a cool 45 degrees C in the shade", this is obviously not a lie because everyone knows that this is not what I meant. It is a device to make you think more about how hot it is. It provokes a "wait a minute" kind of response as opposed to a "so what" kind. This is a normal rhetoric device that people use and it is not a lie.
For example, if I came to your computer and smashed all the number keys on your keyboard and I just left the 1 and 9. Knowing that I criticize your beloved numerology codes, you ask me if I did this with your numbers. I would reply, "it is the big 19 who did it. Go ask your Code 19, if it can speak". Well...you get the picture. Who knows, you may realize your folly or you may do like the people of Ibrahim. In this case you might "ask" your Code 19 by trying my name concatenated with the date of the incident and err... unfortnately it doesn't add up to a 19 divisible. But hey you add the missing 4 because your computer is a Pentium 4 and now it adds up to a 19 divisible!!! So this confirms to you that I must have done it. We are in the information age not the stone age (for some at least) so as you can see modern idolators are getting more and more creative and modern day idols can be made to appear to "answer"!
The word for oppression in Arabic is FITNATU geometric value of 935 as follows;
Good so you know very well that 7431 is clearly saying that the counting of 19 is ONLY an oppression/"fitna". Who is counting 19 everywhere? Not me.
Peace,

Well explained bro Ayman.
4135 O you who believe, stand with justice as witnesses to God, even if against yourselves, or the parents or the relatives. Even if he be rich or poor, God is more worthy of them, so do not follow your desires from being just. And if you twist or turn away, then God is Expert over what you do.
You can't even lie for yourself, your parents, or your relatives.

We are encouraged not to lie, however, where does it catogaricaly ban us from lieing in the Quran, no where, because if it did then that would have been contridiction to prophets who lied, and this is not possible.

in some circumstances we are allowed to hide our believes - which is to lie
16-106 Any one who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters Unbelief,- except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith - but such as open their breast to Unbelief, on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful Penalty.
Concerning abraham, i wouldn't say he was lying, imo its irony. actually according to the verse above he had authorization to lie in this case, he clearly was in danger. but abraham was stronger than that - one of the reasons he was a prophet i guess and not just one of us...

The rhetoric he used is still a lie, per se. Are you saying it was an admission of guilt?
The plan was god's plan and not Youssef's plan as clear from 1276. Youssef revealed himself to his brother in 1269 prior to the whole episode. Since we don't know how the item went missing, Youssef could have indeed made his brother really take the missing item as part of the god's plan.
God's plan has no deception. Misguidance, yes, but deception, no -479.

Salaam OPF,
The rhetoric he used is still a lie, per se. Are you saying it was an admission of guilt?
I agree with that.
God's plan has no deception. Misguidance, yes, but deception, no -479.
And I totally agree with this;
They commit a gross sin, then say, "We found our parents doing this, and GOD has commanded us to do it." Say, "GOD never advocates sin. Are you saying about GOD what you do not know?"
Kind Regards

SHAKIR And mention Ibrahim in the Book; surely he was a truthful man, a prophet.Thanks, I stand corrected. But how does that work against the original charge? Even though Abraham said the large idol did it, he got burnt, or they attempted to do so, was that an indirect admission of guilt?

There is still an element of deception there, towards the other brothers and every one else of the court.

Dear OPF,
The testimony quoted was of no less than Allah. He said Ibrahim alaihissalm was a truthfull person. Ibrahim alaihissalam had also prayed that he should be rememered as a truthful person in time and space. {2684} and then Allah has announced that his reputation is that of a truthfull person {1950}.
The two points which are being discussed on the thread, there the translators have been quite casual and under the influence of Hadith of Bukhari. Can you presume that a person who had made his intentions known to the people in advance that night and had told them that he will do something with their lords, idols immediately after they go from him {2157-58}could lie or deny as to what he had done and announced before doing that? Kindly study for yourself the entire episode by concentrating on the words used in the Quran and Allah willing you will find that there is not an iota of truth what people have been saying on the strength of Hadith of Bukhari.
I have studied this topic at length but regret my inability at this point of time to put it in English. In Urdu it is available here if you could read/understand Urdu or some friend may convert that in English.

I already understand I got caught up by the words, and forgot the context & actual scenario here.
I am more concerned with the story of Joseph.

YUSUFALI (Also mention in the Book (the story of) Abraham He was a man of Truth a prophet.Surely your translation for 1941 is incorrect, it is ;
Mention in the scripture Abraham; he was a saint, a prophet.
Also Abrahim did lie Abraham Proves His Point
He said, "It is that big one who did it. Go ask them, if they can speak."
However, he broke the statues..
How do you explain that..
