Actually, Almighty Allah wants people to live the deep sense of trust. He wants people to have regard for one another according to conduct and not outer appearance, for the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) says: “Do not look at how much they fast or pray… but look instead at their truthfulness and trustworthiness;” actually these two traits are what signifies how much one is committed to the Islamic message.It is narrated that Hazrat Imam Al-Baqir (A.S) once said: “There are three things which Allah, the Mighty and the Glorious, has not permitted anyone to forsake: returning a trust to its owner, irrespective of whether he is a good person or an evil one; fulfilling one’s promises and covenants, irrespective of whether it has been made to a good person or an evil one; being good and kind towards one’s parents, irrespective of whether they are good or evil.” It was also narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) says: “Whoever betrays a trust in this world and does not return it to its owners, he would die not embracing my religion and he will be met with Allah’s anger.” He is also reported to have said that he who has no trust has no faith. When we study the circumstances in which Al-Hussein (A.S)’s revolution took place, we would find out that the people who pledged allegiance to him in Al-Kufa and vowed to be faithful to him actually betrayed him, which is revealed in the following statement: “Their hearts are with you, but their swords are against you.” The truth is that they loved Al-Hussein (A.S) and supported his Wilayah, yet they assumed the position of enmity and took the side of the Umayyads who lured them with money. In a tradition by Imam Ali (a.s.), he says: “The worst kind if treason is that of the nation”.
We all know that the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was known for his honesty and integrity; traits we ought to abide by, for Allah wants us to model ourselves after Prophet Muhammad (SAW), for he says: “…and for that let the aspirers aspire.
Therefore, the entire nation, in all its issues pertaining to its economy, as well as its general and specific situations, ought to uphold its trust to the entire nation and not betray it. Almighty Allah wants us to return the trust to its owners; a command that we should apply in our lives, at the economic and social levels, and in our realistic human life concerning all issues. We all know that the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was known for his honesty and integrity; traits we ought to abide by, for Allah wants us to model ourselves after Prophet Muhammad (SAW), for he says: “…and for that let the aspirers aspire.
