Being trustworthy is one of the foremost
characteristics of the believers. All the messengers
have proved their righteousness to their people and
been know as trustworthy and decent people.
Fulfilling every engagement is a significant part of
this trustworthiness.

Believers should keep their promises, and never
commit themselves to anything which they think
they will not be able to fulfill. It is said in the Qur’an
as follows:

warm brotherhood and solidarity among them. The
Qur’an emphasizes the importance of unity: “Truly,
Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in battle
array as if they were a solid cemented structure.”
(Surat as-Saff, 61:4)
