𝙏𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣! 𝙊𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙃𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙮.
Hazrat Maulana Ehtesham-ul-Haq Thanvi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
"Every profession has its own unique ailment. It is well known that a tailor may steal fabric scraps; but if Allah grants him honesty, then SubhanAllah! A jeweler has a different ailment, a food seller has his own ailment, and a few professions are such that their practitioners break promises yet don’t even consider it blameworthy.

Fulfill your promises, for on the Day of Judgment and in the Hereafter, where one will be held accountable for other things, promises will also be questioned."
