Lesson
When you have learnt the respect of
the Law and acknowledged the Commands of God Almighty and His Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), then you should care that “Betray not
the Trust”. If you have meditated in the meanings of trust and breach of trust,
which have been explained in the previous lesson, then you will be able to
understand well that the trust is such attribute of the mankind, due to which,
confidence and faith in one another arises, and everyone have faith about the another
that he will deceive me never and nor will do wrong with me (neither in front
of me and nor behind me).
It is first duty of every human
being; when they are living altogether that; he should produce feelings of
placing the confidence (on him) in the hearts of others, i.e. the people should
set up their trust in him. The individual who will believe in Allah Almighty
and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), and who will
abide by Their Commands essentially, wholeheartedly and sincerely, apparently
and spiritually, will bear in mind the religious law i.e. prescribed
regulations; in his deeds, will be saved from the tricks of badness and evil
thoughts; considering in his heart that God Almighty witnesses, certainly he
will think about his trust.
Being bound of the law is called
religion. When someone accepts the religion, he makes a vow with God Almighty
that he will obey His Commands heartily. That person who affirms that he is
religious but he does not perceive that he has promised along with acceptance
that he would remain obedient of the commands of Allah Almighty, in fact; he is
not religious, because perception of that covenant is necessary along with
being a religious person.
The first command of the religion is
that you should dwell in such manner that the people should have trust in your
every deed every time and become entirely fearless from it that you can deceive
them any time. It is the sign of Belief and that individual who lives as it; is
a believer. How can this trust be established? For this purpose; it is
necessary that one should never betray in the trust. Some examples are given
below from which it will be clear: what is the trust and how is it betrayed?
1. When
an individual lives with any other, that other person expects that the
individual will neither trouble, nor deceive him and nor will have faith in the
hearsay about him. Till that time he does not know by experience that “I am
really wrong”. This expectation of the other person is a trust with the one. If
he will do against this expectation; he will commit breach of trust.
2. Society
expects from every person that he/she will vote at the time of election in
favor of only such individual whom he will consider that he is able to do that
work for which he is being selected. If someone will not fulfill this expectation
he will be guilty of embezzlement.
3. It
is expected from every individual that he/she will not regard even own members
of the family at the time of justice. If anyone does so; that betrays.
It is commanded in the verse that the
cause of embezzlement is love of children and greed of wealth. With your effort,
you should not let this love lead. God Almighty will give you immense reward
for it. You will live with respect in the world as well as reach the success in
the Hereafter too.
