Trust --its importance in Islam

 TRUST
About trust loosing ALLAH has given instructions. I will discuss about his one instruction because this instruction may not be known to many people

Theres is a very famous ayat in Quran Majeed
ویل للمطفین الذی اذ کتالو علی الناس

(تباھی کا کنواں ھے ان افرادکے لئے جو ناپ تول میں کمی کرتےھیں )

(A well of disaster is for those who reduce during measurement and weighment)

Explanation :- Maulana Ehtesham ul Haq Thanvee while explaining this ayat to a gathering , first shed light on word ویل . He said it is a big well that is available in "Dozakh" where in a lot of miseries in the form of un ending fire with hot & long flames , biting & poisonous reptiles/ insects are existing.

Then Maulana Ehtesham ul Haq Thanvee had asked a question "if you steal some thing ( as sugar , wheat quarter (PAWO) kilogram what will be punishment.? it may be maximum cutting /chopping of any small finger.

Then he said If you go to a shop & purchase some thing from that shop , which has a cheating/ un calibrated / less measuring balance machine .Then what quantity can that shopkeeper cheat from you with that less measuring cheating balance machine. Quarter kilo or even less than that quantity. But for that so much less quantity being cheated by shopkeeper why ALLAH is putting that shop keeper in ویل (in a well where poisonous insects/ reptiles / fire is available ) while in case of stealing this quantity there is no such harsh punishment.

Then Maulana explained that it is just a matter of TRUST .You as a purchaser had trusted upon shopkeeper balance & that shopkeeper is shattering your trust .So trust breaking of any person is a very nuch big crime. BUT we in Pakistan have been seeing all such trust breking for a long time & we are not giving them penalty .It is big fault from us

Same types of harsh pinishment in case of TRUST breaking had also been in vogue even in HINDU society of India 2500 years ago i.e. before the arrivall of our prophet Mohammad Sallay Ala AlaiHe Waus- Sallam

The famous book "Arth Shaster" which was wtitten by Chankia in B.C. says that
If a police man is found guilty of giving false statement against any person then that police man will be punished double of ordinary man

In brief Chankia is also recommending double punishment for a peson whom government has hired under trust & that person is cheating / breaching the TRUST.
In other words TRUST be kept alive & one must not break it
