The sincerity is the most important point in performing duties and demand in religion. There is a lot of evidence from the Qur’an and Hadith of the Prophet (SAW) discussing about the importance of sincerity. Sincerity is the most vital one in securing the good deeds. In fact, the culmination of trust affecting the construction of every human life is guided by faith in the discharge of all responsibilities and duties. It is true that sincerity acts to foster individual thought and the right conduct in his practices, and pleased with it furthermore it prevents him from precision and splendor. Sincerity in performing duties and responsibilities is doing the job and tasks given to them with full of efforts. In other words, he fulfils and completing his duties without any intention of being praised and compliment, to show off, or even proud of his effort and sincerity. It is possible to say that, sincerity is something which is should be there to ensure the existing of Amanah among Muslims in particular and others generally. It is because its leads to good deeds which also responsible for righteousness and integrity among mankind. In fulfilling the sincerity in performing duties and responsibilities it should be contains of two elements which are discharge of its responsibilities and duties earnestly and holds extremely well. By being a discharge of the responsibilities and duties earnestly, it can give the impact into the growth of internal control which is having a very high impact in the practicing of Amanah in oneself. In fact, every Muslims in particular should perform all the responsibilities with all the capabilities because they will be asked in here after by Allah. Islam did ask all the people to holds all the responsibilities and duties extremely well because it is the most important factor which can bind the community together and for the sake of humanity in general.

“The fulfillment of the trust does not only happen from top to bottom but also happens from the bottom up, if the trust must be fulfilled by the parents, the trust must also be fulfilled by the child as well. Islam encourages its followers to always be obedient and humble to their parents in an effort to educate the nature of responsibility and trust in children towards their parents”.

This is the reason for the Muslims in particular to behave in Amanah. By performing Amanah, it can lead to strengthen the bonding of mental and spiritual among the community. Besides that, every mankind should be responsible in every action they perform because they will be asked all the deeds which has been done throughout their life either in front of Almighty Allah or other mankind. The responsibilities which should be borne by all mankind is mainly divided into two parts which known as individual responsibilities and responsibilities towards his community. Individual responsibilities relatively the same with regards to the type of responsibilities he should adhere to for instance, as a child he has some responsibilities towards his parents, his family. Then, if he is appointed as a leader or the ruler of the country he will borne the responsibilities towards the people under his rule which is known as responsibilities towards the people under his rule as the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) has declared in one of the Hadith Every one of you is a guardian and every one will be asked about his subjects, the leader is a guardian. He will be asked about his subjects. A man is a guardian of the persons in his household. He is answerable about them. A woman is the guardian of her husband’s house. She will be asked about her responsibility. The servant is the guardian of the articles of his master. He is answerable about the responsibility of his. (Mishkat) The fulfillment of the trust does not only happen from top to bottom but also happens from the bottom up, if the trust must be fulfilled by the parents, the trust must also be fulfilled by the child as well. Islam encourages its followers to always be obedient and humble to their parents in an effort to educate the nature of responsibility and trust in children towards their parents. On top of that, the responsibility towards the parents should be at the highest ranking or at the utmost important than to be obeyed and adhere by each and every individual. Every mankind should realize that they will be liable to any acts and responsibilities granted upon them without exception.
