*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -* - Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

The reward for keeping a promise and the gravity of breaking it

What is the reward for keeping a promise and the punishment for
breaking a promise?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
The verses of the Holy Qur'aan and the hadeeths of the Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) indicate that fulfilling
promises and covenants is obligatory, and they point to abhorrence of
the sin of the one who breaks them or fails to fulfil them. Failing to
fulfil them may go so far as to constitute kufr, as happened to the
Children of Israel and others when they broke the covenant with their
Lord and abandoned their pledge to Allah to believe in Him and follow
His Messengers. Allah, may He be exalted,says (interpretation of the
meaning):
"And fulfil (every) covenant. Verily! the covenant, will be questioned about"
[al-Isra' 17:34]
"and fulfill the Covenant of Allâh"
[al-An 'am 6:152]
And He says, praising His believing slaves (interpretation of the meaning):
"Those who fulfil the Covenant of Allâh and break not the Mîthâq
(bond, treaty, covenant)"
[al-Ra 'd 13:20].
Many texts of the Qur'aan and Sunnah clearly indicate that it is
obligatory to fulfil promises and covenants,and it is haraam to break
them and act in a treacherous manner. All the verses that mention
promises and covenants indicate that both explicitly and implicitly.
The practice of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
and his Companions is the clearest testimony to that and application
thereof.
Secondly:
Allah has decreed for fulfilling promises great benefits in this world
and in the Hereafter, in addition to the obvious benefits of creating
a righteous and stable society. Among these benefits are the
following:
*
Fulfilling promises is oneof the attributes of the pious according to
the Book of Allah, and it one of the greatest means of attaining taqwa
(piety, consciousness of Allah). Allah says (interpretationof the
meaning):
"Yes, whoever fulfils his pledge and fears Allâh much; verily, then
Allâh loves those who are Al-Muttaqûn (the pious)"
[Aal 'Imraan 3:76].
*
Fulfilling promises is a means of attaining security in this world and
preventing bloodshed, and of protecting the rights of people, both
Muslims and kaafirs, as Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"but if they seek your help in religion, it is your duty to help them
except against a people with whom you have a treaty of mutual
alliance,and Allâh is the All-Seer of what you do"
[al-Anfaal 8:72].
*
It is a means of expiatingbad deeds and gaining admittance to
Paradise, as we see in the words of Allah in Soorat al-Baqarah
(interpretation of the meaning):
"and fulfill (your obligations to) My Covenant (with you) so that I
fulfill (My Obligations to) your covenant (with Me)"
[al-Baqarah 2:40].
Ibn Jareer said: His covenant with them is that if they do that, He
will admit them to Paradise. End quote.
In Soorat al-Maa'idah, Allah, may He be glorified, states that He took
a covenant from Bani Israa'eel, then He explained that covenant and
stated the reward for fulfilling it, as He says(interpretation of the
meaning):
"Verily, I will expiate your sins and admit you to Gardens under which
rivers flow (in Paradise)"
[al-Maa'idah 5:12].
And there are other reports which are clear to anyone who ponders the
Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him), bothhis words and actions.
There are many verses and hadeeths about this topic; we advise you to
refer to the books Riyadh al-Saaliheen by Imam al-Nawawi (may Allah
have mercy on him), and al-Targheeb wal Tarheeb by Imam al-Mundhiri
(may Allah have mercy on him).
Thirdly:
Betrayal or treachery is the opposite of trustworthiness and loyalty.
If trustworthiness and loyalty are the qualities of faith and piety,
then betrayal and treachery are the qualities of hypocrisy and evil
--Allahforbid.
It was narrated that 'Abd-Allah ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with
him) said: The Messengerof Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him) said: "There are four characteristics, whoever has them all is a
pure hypocrite: when he speaks he lies, when he makes a promise he
breaks it, when he makes a covenant he betrays it, and when he
disputes he resorts to obscene speech. Whoever has one of them has one
of the characteristics of hypocrisy, until he gives it up."
Narrated by al-Bukhaari,3178; Muslim, 58.
It was narrated that 'Ali ibn Abi Taalib (may Allah be pleased with
him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) said: "Whoever breaks the covenant of aMuslim, upon him be
thecurse of Allah, the angelsand all the people, and Allah will not
accept any obligatory or naafil act of worship from him."
Narrated by al-Bukhaari,1870; Muslim, 1370.
It was narrated from 'Abd-Allah ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with
him) that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him) said:
"Allaah will set up a banner for the betrayer on the Day of
Resurrection, and it will be said: This is the betrayer of So and so."
Narrated by al-Bukhaari,6178; Muslim, 1735.
We ask Allah to make us among those who fulfil promises and covenants
and to grant us refuge from treachery and breaking of promises, and to
help us to do good in word and deed… Praise be to Allah the Lord of
the Worlds.
