Trustworthiness
An important dimension of being a Muslim is trustworthiness. Every
Prophet is introduced in the Qur'an with the attribute of
trustworthiness.6 First and foremost, the Prophet Muhammad, the most
trustworthy of the heavens and earth, and all the prophets preceding
him, made efforts to promote trustworthiness in their societies.
In a place where trust does not exist, love, respect and solidarity are
also absent. The lack of trust destroys family, as well as social,
cultural, and economic life. For this reason, the Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him) states that trustworthiness and treachery cannot
exist together7 and asserts, "One, who betrays, harms, or deceives a
Muslim, is not of us."8 He describes the ideal Muslim as thus: "A
Muslim is one from whose hand and tongue people are safe. A believer is
one from whom people know that their wealth and lives are safe."9
In one hadith, the Messenger of Allah describes those who are good and
those who are bad: "The good amongst you is the one from whom good
things are expected and by whom people are sure that they will not be
harmed. The bad amongst you is the one from whom good things are not
expected and from whose evil people do not feel safe."10 From this, it
can be understood that a believer is one who is trustworthy, and
therefore, no one would fear any danger from him or her under any
circumstances.
In Islam, good morals, love and respect for Allah and the Prophet
Muhammad (peace be upon him) are expected from believers. Appropriate
love, mercy and compassion are to be shown, not only to people but also
to every creature in nature since, according to Islam's core
understanding, every creation is a blessing from Allah and the protection
of a blessing is the most fitting behavior for a human being.
