The Curse Of Bribery.

In French the word " bribe '' was originally used fir a piece of bread given to a begger. Now, this word has nothing to do with beggers or pieces of bread. Bribe is the money or some other thing, offered to someone in order to get illegal and undeserved favours.

Bribe is offered only to those who hold some office of importance and influence, and can oblige their vlients. Sometimes bribe is offered willingly, sometimes it is received forcibly. Sometimes you bribe an officer for getting an undue advantage, sometimes you have to pay this compulsory fee for obtaining your right.

Bribery is perhaps the greatest curse that corrupts a society. It is dishonesty, deceit, and coercion. Those who accept or demand and those who offer bribes are the enemies of the people and their country. They sin both against Allah and man. They encourage injustice and dishonesty.

The government that is run by corrupt officials is the worst of all forms of government. The government is responsible for administering the country and not destroying it. The first duty of the government is to look after the welfare of the people. If  its officials treat the people badly and cruely in order to get bribes, there is no use of the government.

No one wants to parts with his money. If he gives it to some official, he does so because he is forced to do so. He may do sofor getting what is not his or he is forced to buy an officer's attention for getting his right.

Bribery is a curse of unjust society and it causes further injustice.
A person who accepts or demands bribery is a dangerous person. He looks after his own selfish interest only, and ignores all other things. He does not believe in any principle or values. He has no place in a free and just society. He must be eliminated as soon as possible, if he does not avoid it.

Bribery is not liked in any society. One who offer or accept it, they snatch the right of other people who are ielligble and give to those people whose are not fit or illigble for those rights. Islam also stressed upon the steps to stop it.
According Islam, Both who take and who give are in Fire Of Hell. Not only in Islam but all other religions also forbade and dislike it.

No society or country can not make prosper and progress with the existense of bribery in their society. Bribery can be stopped only if very strickt laws are made and they are enforced without fear or favour.
