I’m no scholar of Islam. But my understanding is that it contains explicit teaching that lying is allowed.

Not to other muslims. Only to outsiders, for self-preservation.

This is very different from Christianity, which teaches unequivocally that lying is a sin.

Was Peter punished for denying Christ?

Yeshua paid Peter’s penalty.

A lie reflects the character of the liar—it has no necessary relationship with the recipient.

Sin is forgiven through repentance.
