Rumors have been spreading across social media suggesting that the State Bank of Pakistan has removed the well-known phrase “Husool-e-Rizq-e-Halal Aeen Ibadat Hai” (Earning a lawful livelihood is an act of worship) from new currency notes.

Many users claimed that the absence of this line blurs the distinction between halal and haram income. These claims, however, are entirely misleading.

 An independent check, along with official confirmation, shows that the phrase still exists on all denominations ranging from Rs10 to Rs5,000.

 It continues to appear on the back of every note as part of the design and security features.

According to a State Bank spokesperson who talked to the private news channel, each note has a thorough description on the central bank's website, with the inscription prominently displayed among the features. 

Contrary claims have been refuted by viral posts on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and X (previously Twitter).

The spread of such false information emphasizes how crucial it is to confirm statements before disseminating them. In addition to misleading the public, false narratives raise unnecessary concerns about financial institutions and national symbols.
