Lesson eighty eight :Our promises are our debts

Imam Reza( A. S. )said:

إنّا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ نَرَى وَعْدَنا عَلَيْنا دَيْنا كَما صَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللّهِ (ص)

Translation

We are the household who consider our promises as our debts as God's Prophet( S. A. )was so..

Brief description

Debt is not only what man receives from someone and becomes debtor for it. Those who give promises to others, in fact undertake a work and accept a responsibility and actually have an undeniable moral duty.

Fulfilling the promise indicates dignity, belief, greatness, honesty, truthfulness and strengthens bases of public confidence in the society and revives the spirit of social cooperations and on this account, Islam has extremely emphasized on fulfillment of promise.
