are trusts, which we have to fulfill. A Muslim fulfils his trust only to gain Allaah’s pleasure and His reward. The trusts that have been placed in our care by Allaah and by people will be questioned about on the Day of Judgement. Those who fulfil their trusts will be given Jannah as a reward. Allaah will punish those who have betrayed their trusts very severely in Jahannam. Trustworthiness is a quality that is essential if a neighbourhood or society is to function properly. When there is no trust among people then they cannot work together and are unable to achieve beneficial and great things. Lack of trust between people leads to suspicion, fear and hatred for each other. Trust between people leads to confidence, security and love for each other. For that reason always fufill your trusts. Never take on a responsibility that you cannot fulfil. If you do so you will be breaking a trust. We have to take care of everything that has been placed in our trust, even if the trust is given to us by someone we dislike. Trustworthiness is a characteristics of a true Muslim. Untrustworthiness and betrayal is completely contradictory to iimaan (faith). One cannot exist along with the other. If you have one you will not have the other. 66
