How Muslims Spread Lies Without Even Realizing It

About this lecture

In this powerful lecture, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan explains how ordinary, well-meaning Muslims can unknowingly become spreaders of rumors and lies — simply through partial information, active imagination, and the deeply human need to talk. Drawing from the Quranic account of the *Ifk* (the false accusation), he unpacks how Allah teaches us that the first instinct of a true believer must always be the presumption of innocence, not guilt. A timeless and deeply practical reminder about the dangers of gossip, social media, and the responsibility we carry every time we share unverified news.
