And mention in the Book Samuel. Surely, he was truthful in his promise, and he was an apostle, a
prophet.
The pledge is a recorded document; hence, it must be fulfilled. God says:
O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do? It is most hateful to Allah that you
should say that which you do not do.
And fulfill the covenant of Allah when you have made a covenant, and do not break the oaths
after making them fast, and you have indeed made Allah a surety for you. And fulfill the promise.
Surely, every promise shall be questioned about.
The Prophet (s) said, “The signs of the hypocrites are three, even if they perform the prayers and
fast and claim being Muslims. They lie when they speak, and breach when they promise and cheat
when they are trusted.”
As he was asked about the signs of the hypocrites, the Prophet (s) answered, “They breach when
they pledge.”
The fulfillment of promises is a social necessity upon which the life course and system depend.
Islam has confirmed the necessity of fulfilling the promises and compelled Muslims with it even if
the other party was an enemy. In his will to Malik al‐Ashtar, Imam Ali says, “If you tie with your
enemy a knot or dress him your covenant, you should encompass this covenant with fulfillment
and keep your pact by honesty. Make yourself an armor of what you have given. Nothing ‐of
God’s precepts‐ is more agreeable, despite people’s discrepant caprices and varying opinions,
than the glorifying of the fulfillment of pledges. This commits the polytheists, not Muslims, among
them due to there regarding the consequences of breaching as great woes. Do not breach by your
humility, infringe your covenant, or violate your enemies. Only the rascal ignorant do venture God
after He had made His pledge and rectitude the security that should be publicized among His
servants by His mercy, and the shelter and vicinity to which the servants harbor and rest.”
This is the pure Islamic attitude to pledges and promises. It has decreed obligatorily the fulfilling
of the pledge and promise even to the foes and the rivals of Islam.
GOOD WORDING
The Islamic education has exerted all efforts for habituating to the good wording and avoiding the
bad. God says:
To Him do ascend the good words. And the good deeds lift them up.
