Fulfilment and commitment
Honouring
a promise and acting upon it is an excellent virtue, at the same time breaking
a promise is a sign of hypocrisy.
Among
the qualities of successful people – they (those succeeded) observe their
trusts and covenants, and it’s a distinct feature
Commitment
given by parents to their wards, management to their employees, rulers to their
subjects should be fulfilled. Fulfilment of promise is a human right
“Anyone
who does not wrong people in his behaviour towards them, does not lie in his
talks with them, and does not break his promises to them; he is among those
whose manliness is complete, whose justice is manifest, whose brotherhood is
indispensable, and whose backbiting is forbidden.” – Prophet Mohammad (pbuh)
Fulfilling
promises is one of the attributes of pious men & women according to Holy Quran,
and it is one of the greatest means of attaining God’ consciousness; Allah says
in the holy Quran:
“Yes, whoever fulfills his pledge and fears
Allah much, verily, then Allah loves those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious) –
Quran 3:76
Promises
will be asked about on the Day of Judgement. It’s clearly mentioned in the
glorious Quran,
“And fulfill (every) commitment. Indeed, the commitment
is ever (that about which one will be) questioned” – Quran 17:34
Qualities
of maintaining promises are the attributes of God and His messengers who were
sent down to earth for teaching mankind the way of life
On the
other hand, breach of promise is an offence that breaks the relation of confidence
and trust. It questions one’s trustworthiness. It troubles the one who
promised and also to the one whom he promised.
