Providing for people's needs, helping them acquire
their benefit and ensuring meaningful cooperation between
them will only be achieved through abiding by Islamic
Law. It requires truthfulness and Amanah (honesty) and
prohibits lying, deceit and all the types of dealings that
Allah does not permit.
Allah said,
what translated means, {Help you one another in Al-Birr
and At-Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not
help one another in sin and transgression}[5:2],
and, {Verily! Allah commands that you should render back
the trusts to those to whom they are due; and that when you
judge between men, you judge with justice}[4:58],
and, {O you who believe! Betray not Allah and His
Messenger, nor betray knowingly your Amanat (things
entrusted to you, and all the duties which Allah has
ordained for you)}[8:27].
Also, Allah said,
what translated means, {O you who believe! When you
contract a debt for a fixed period, write it down. Let a
scribe write it down in justice between you. Let not the
scribe refuse to write as Allah has taught him, so let him
write. Let him (the debtor) who incurs the liability dictate,
and he must fear Allah, his Lord, and diminish not anything
of what he owes}[2:282], and, [33:70-71]
{O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allâh and fear Him,
and speak (always) the truth. He will direct you to do
righteous good deeds and will forgive you your sins. And
whosoever obeys Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad
G I
G @ B UV S G T), he has indeed achieved a great
achievement18}[33:71-72].
Further, the Messenger of Allah salla allahu `alaihi
wa-sallam said,
“The seller and the buyer have the right to keep or return
goods as long as they have not parted or until they part; if
both parties spoke the truth and duly described the defects
and qualities (of the goods), then they would be blessed in
their transaction; if they told lies or hid something, then the
blessings of their transaction would be lost”[Al-Bukhari
and Muslim].
Also Muslim and Ahmad narrated that Abu Sa`eed al-
Khudri radhiya allahu `anhu said that the Prophet salla
allahu `alaihi wa-sallam said,
“Gold for gold, silver for silver, wheat grain for wheat
grain, barley for barley, dates for dates, salt for salt: equal
in amount and from hand to hand (meaning the payment is
not delayed). Those who give more or ask for more, then
both who take the increase and those who give it are the
same, and both will have committed Riba.” Also, Jabir [ibn
`Abdullah al-Ansari, radhiya allahu `anhu] said, “The
Messenger of Allah salla allahu `alaihi wa-sallam cursed
those who take Riba and those who give it, write it and
witness it, then said that, ‘They all are the
same!’”[Muslim].
In addition, `Umar ibn Al-Khattab narrated that the
Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said,
“The bartering of gold for gold entails Riba, except if it is
from hand to hand and equal in amount; wheat grain for
wheat grain entails Riba, except if it is from hand to hand
and equal in amount; dates for dates entails Riba, except if
it is from hand to hand and equal in amount; and barley for
barley entails Riba, except if it is from hand to hand and
equal in amount”[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. He salla allahu
`alaihi wa-sallam also said,
“Those who cheat us are not some of us”[Muslim, without
a chain of narration, Ahmad, ibn Majah and ad-Darimi.
The correct words for this Hadith are, “Those who cheat
are not some of us”]. Also, the Prophet salla allahu `alaihi
wa-sallam said,
“Should I inform you about the greatest of the great sins?"
They said, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle!" He said,
"To join others in worship with Allah and to be undutiful to
one's parents." The Prophet, peace be upon him, then sat up
after he had been reclining (on a pillow) and said,
"And I warn you against giving a false statement or a false
testimony”[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. There are many other
Hadiths on this topic19.
