"And mention in the Book (the story of) Ismail. He was indeed true to his promise and was a messenger, a prophet." (Surah Maryam:54)
Fulfilment of promise is regarded as an important part of the moral code by all decent people, just as a breach of it is considered worthy of contempt. In a Hadith Rasool Allah ﷺ has described the breaking of a promise as a sign of hypocrisy. In another Hadith Rasool Allah SAW has said, "A promise is like a debt." meaning that it is as obligatory to honour a promise as it is to repay a debt. There is another Hadith of the Holy Prophet SAW which says that, "promise is an obligation for a believer."
