The Importance of Promise

Promise means to commit oneself by a pledge to do or give. Fulfiling a promise is the most positive and greatest quality of a person. There is nothing comparable to it. According to the Islamic teaching, promise is not simply part of social ethics, it is a responsible pledge for which man is accountable before God. The Quran says: “Keep your promises. You will be called to account before God for every promise which you have made.” (17:34). In another verse the Quran says: “O you who believe! why do you say that which you do not do? Grievously odious is it in the sight of God that you say that which you do not.” (61:3)

To not fulfil a promise is a very wrong habit. It bears serious consequences for a man. To break a promise may ruin the whole personality of a human being. This habit and Spirituality cannot coexist. If one makes promises and fails to fulfil them, then this habit may lead to nonexistence of all positive qualities. In social life a person possessing this habit loses his credibility. He will not be regarded as having a predictable character, which is the greatest social value of a person. Keeping promises is one's social identity. A person who loses this social identity will lose his social status.

The greatest danger of this habit is that such a person will be presented before God on the Day of Judgement and will be asked by Him: 'Why did you fail to fulfil the promise after having pledged it?' It means that this habit has grave consequences, because a person of this kind takes the risk of being disgraced in the eyes of God. Without doubt there is no loss greater than this.

PROCASTINATION 

 It’s almost a year when i wrote my last blog . A lot changed in past, many of good , few of bad. But i believe that's how the life goes on. In last one year there are  many good moments which i cherish . I am blessed and surrounded with fabulous people , those who constantly inspire and motivate medirectly or indirectly.

Last year in AUGUST I came across few bloggers through Google plus one of the social networking giant . That was the time when i was utterly low with self-confidence and was hardly left with enthusiasm to do anything in my life. As i was wandering around the social networking site to pull myself up, I came across few of the lovely people on blogger, those who were sharing their thoughts . Every time I read someone's blog , it gave me a pump of adrenaline rush in my body. I am quite not sure whether to mention there name , but they really taught me a lot .

I sincerely want to give credit to all of them , because of them i am again pulling myself up to this. And this blog post wouldn't be possible without them.

There has been lot going within me from a very long time , but lately when i look back i find everything scattered here and there. Things are still at the same place where they were last year and last to last year and i don't know since when. Many of you must be thinking , how nasty i am ? And the answer is YES i am.. First of all i would like to clear up few thing , I am talking about my work, ideas and thought not the stuffs lying here and there in my house. And i am sure many would have thought about the later one, never mind.  

I have been thinking a lot over many thing to start and turn it into a reality , but all i see is “NOTHING”. Yesterday i was going through one of my online blogger friends recent blog which was about not writing for an month . And suddenly I found myself drowned in a big question “ IF not now, WHEN???” 

And this thought haven't let me sleep for the whole night . And i believe I have the answer , “ IT’s NOW “.

Believing in self and all of your motivation and inspiration i will write again . Not just for the sake of writing , but to reach out to people and share the wisdom and thoughts .

Someone has said it very profoundly “ Keep moving even when low, you never know how many you are INSPIRING.”
