LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN

he has made with God, We will pay him an immense reward.
(Surat al-Fath, 10)
(Believers are) those who honour their trusts and their contracts.

(Surat al-Mu’minun, 8)
God commands you to return to their owners the things you hold
on trust and, when you judge between people, to judge with justice.
How excellent is what God exhorts you to do! God is All-Hearing,
All-Seeing. (Surat an-Nisa’, 58)
It is not devoutness to turn your faces to the East or to the West.

Rather, those with true devoutness are those who believe in God
and the Last Day, the Angels, the Book and the Prophets, and who,
despite their love for it, give away their wealth to their relatives and
to orphans and the very poor, and to travellers and beggars and to
set slaves free, and who perform prayer and give the alms; those
who honour their contracts when they make them, and are stead-
fast in poverty and illness and in battle. Those are the people who
are true. They are the people who guard against evil. (Surat al-
Baqarah, 177)

No, the truth is, if people honour their contracts and have fear of
Him, God loves those who guard against evil. (Surah Al ‘Imran, 76)
Be true to God’s contract when you have agreed to it, and do not
break your oaths once they are confirmed and you have made God
your guarantee. God knows what you do. (Surat an-Nahl, 91)

Do not go near the property of orphans before they reach maturity,
except in a good way. Fulfil your contracts. Contracts will be asked
about. (Surat al-Isra’, 34)
(People of intelligence are) those who fulfil God’s contract and do
not break their agreement. (Surat ar-Ra`d, 20)
