In mutual dealings in social life, it often happens that a person gives his word to another. There is apparently no third person or group between the two. How ever as Muslims we should always keep in our mind that Allah is the supreme witness and Allah knows everything. That is why fulfilling ones promises is so important.
A Muslim therefore should be extremely sensitive about giving his word. His conviction is that every commitment made between two persons is in Allah’s supreme knowledge and he knows that he will be accountable for its fulfillment. This compels him to be highly responsible as regards his promises. Whenever he gives his word to anyone he makes a point of keeping it.
Many other virtues come in the wake of the regular fulfillment of promises. One of these is mutual trust.
In a society where the mutual trust exists, there is no discord and dissension between the people, there is an atmosphere of confidence and peacability as there is no fear of promises being broken.
Readiness to fulfill promises is a commendable trait; it is iman (faith) that makes one the possessor of this highest of human virtues.
