“Yes, we’ll go to the park today, insha’Allah.” “Promise, Dad?” “Insha’Allah.” For many Muslim parents, this exchange sounds all too familiar. In fact, whether we realize it or not, there are many promises we make throughout the day. When we make a promise, especially to our children, it is highly important that we see it through. If we do not, it can raise feelings of uncertainty, distrust, and conflict. More importantly, it teaches children that it is okay to do the same. But did you know that keeping promises is also an Islamic duty? In this book, we teach the importance of being honest with our words. Islam strongly encourages us to be honorable people by keeping our promises. It is strongly disliked by Allah (SWT) when one makes a promise loosely, and/or with intentions of breaking it. We are instructed, “Fulfill the covenant of Allah when you have taken it, and do not break oaths after their confirmation while 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. (Source: Noor Kids)
