Whenever you make a promise fulfill it. Much emphasis has been laid on it in the Holy Quran and Sunnat. Allah, has ordered
‘Fulfil your promise because you will be asked about it one the day judgement’.
(Sura-e-Asr)
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) has said: Those who believe in Allah and hereafter, it is their duty to keep their promise.(Usul-e -
(Kafi-2, p 364)
Keeping one’s promise is considered by Allah as one of the qualities of Hazrat Ismail (a.s.). Believers have been strictly warned against breaking promises. Beware, don’t say what you do not want to do. Allah does not like this at all. Beware! Don’t promise anything, which you are not in a position to fulfil.Breaking promise will bring disrepute.
Fulfilment of Promise from the View Point of Islam One of the virtues talked about in the Holy Quran is Keeping of the Promise or Covenant. It has been mentioned as one of the special and distinct features of the faithful Mo-mineen.
Breaking of promise or breach of a covenant has been called therein as one of the habits of the polytheist Mushrikeen and hypocrite Munafeqeen.
Hence the Holy Prophet
(s.a.w.s.) says:
Whoever has faith in Allah and the Day of Judgement must keep the promise whenever he makes it. Hypocrisy and Breach of a Vow. Hypocrisy and double face is one of the worst qualities of man and the cause of breaching vows and ignoring promise.
The Holy Prophet has said in this connection: There are three qualities and conditions which make a man hypocrite even if he fasts and prays and is a Muslim in his opinions:
1 Shows dishonesty when trusted,
2 Tells a lie while speaking and
3 Breaks a promise.
Even if one undertakes something through a sign, he should fulfil it. Are all the Promises Honourable? On this ground, fulfilling an oath has been considered as one of the signs of the faithful and the wise and as one of the salient human
virtue and Islam has consistently emphasised it and has ordered to ignore a promise given to the enemies of Allah even if they happen to be ones close relatives. Anyway, much more has been said in the matter of promise and covenant and its results and fruits. But we think this much is enough here.
