Noor Kids :Do You Promise

In this book, we teach the importance of being honest with our words. Islam strongly encourages us to be honourable by keeping our promises. It is strongly disliked by Allah (SWT) when on makes a promise loosely, and/or with intentions of breaking it. We are instructed, "Fulfil the covenant of Allah when you have taken it, and do not break oaths after their confirmation when you have made Allah a witness over you. Verily, Allah knows what you do" (Qur'an 16:91). Breaking promises to others makes one untrustworthy and lets people down. Moreover, breaking promises to Allah (SWT) can also become a sin as it places one under the category of a hypocrite (munafiq).
