Look, how they fabricate lies against Allah! That suffices for a flagrant sin.

Surah An-Nisa', Verse 50
50. "See how they forge a lie against Allah! And it is sufficient as a manifest sin."
The Jews considered themselves a superior race and also the children and the beloved of the Lord. This self-admiration is the greatest calumny unto Allah, because He has not appointed anyone as His child, and all human beings are equal before Him. It is in the case that, to Him, the only privilege is Faith and piety. In belie, besides the existence of lie, there are also the sin of accusation, persecution, injustice, and desecration. Belie upon Allah nullifies fasting, too. Imam Baqir (as) also said:
"...Telling lie is worse than drinking wine."
Yet, belie is graver than telling a lie, either.
