\"Bribery\"<\/a>

All divine religions prohibit bribe, dispraise those who take bribe and praise those who refuse to take it<\/p><\/div>\n

As a matter of fact, all divine religions prohibit bribe, dispraise those who take bribe and praise those who refuse to take it.<\/p>\n

In the Bible, we read verses explicitly prohibiting bribe. For example, we read the following verse in the Bible: \u201cAnd you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and subverts the cause of those who are in the right.\u201d (Exodus 23:8)<\/p>\n

We also notice that the Bible prohibits dishonest gain and praises those who refuse to take dishonest gain. We read the following verse in the Bible: \u201cBut select capable men from all the people\u2014men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain\u2014and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens.\u201d (Exodus 18:21)<\/p>\n

Prophet Muhammad<\/a> said: \u201cAllah<\/a> cursed the briber (rashi) and bribe-taker (murtashi).\u201d (Ahmad and Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi and ibn Majah) Thawban also reported that Prophet Muhammad cursed the briber, bribe-taker and the mediator. (Ahmad)<\/p>\n

The Qur\u2019an<\/a> dispraises those devouring Suht (dishonest gain). We read the following verse in the Qur\u2019an:<\/p>\n

[They are] avid listeners to falsehood, devourers of Suht (dishonest gain)\u2026<\/strong> (Al-Ma\u2019idah<\/a> 5:42)<\/p>\n

Prophet Muhammad used to forbid Suht. It is reported that he once said: \u201cEach flesh nourished by Suht, hellfire will be worthier of it.\u201d People asked: \u201cWhat is Suht?\u201d He replied: \u201cBribe in judgment.\u201d (Al-Tabari)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
