Commentary
After discussion about
the faiths, affairs and worships, now the topic regarding morality, manners and
courtesy begins. The most excellent basic characteristic of the human being (to
have a good moral character) is that he must fulfill his treaty, promise and
agreement completely when he makes it with any other individual, group or
nation. It is very necessary to fulfill the treaty for his personal life and
for those people, with whom he has any concern.
There are many forms
of the treaty, for example; the mankind makes treaty with his Lord Almighty or
with the other people. In our daily lives, we have to make a lot of promises
and agreements with God Almighty, brethren, relatives and common people. In
other words, the treaty means those responsibilities; which we make necessary
upon ourselves to be fulfilled strictly. For instance, God Almighty has taken
covenant from us that, as He is our Creator and Worshipped, so we shall worship
Him only. At the time of trouble/necessity, we shall pray only before Him. We
shall believe as He is the One (God) and the Omnipotent. Now it is our
responsibility that we should not become the promise-breaker.
Likewise, we have
promised with our brethren that we shall try our best to serve and obey the
elders, educate and bring up our children, and correct our deeds. We shall help
financially our dears and relatives. We have kept agreement with the common
people that we shall perceive, help and care the orphan, the needy, the poor,
the wayfarer, the beggar, and the compelled and slaves, who are deprived of
freedom. Now we should fulfill completely our responsibilities and we should
not behave with them carelessly.
Besides this, it is
also our responsibility that which task has been given in our charge or where
we are serving; we should work honestly in exchange of the salary and wages,
which we get from the employer. It appeared that we have made any covenant in
our practical life with any individual from the countless human beings; we have
lifted a very heavy bale of responsibilities over our heads. It is compulsory
to fulfill our all responsibilities and engage ourselves with full honesty and
excellent manners.
Today, maximum people
have become low in this matter. They do not care for the respect of their
treaty in both forms i.e. individually as well as collectively, and do not take
the promise as a promise. It has reached the limit that national and
countrywide treaties remain also firm till the time to avail against. As soon as,
anyone gets power, the entire written treaties are broken.
