النَّزَاهَةُ رِفْعَةٌ وَكَـرَامَةٌ : Integrity is honor and dignity

Al Quran is the final Holy Book revealed upon the Last of Prophets Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH). The Quran & Sunnah is the only source of holy guidance as it entails detailed instructions for each and every walk of human life. Here guidance from Quran for the followers of Islam (النَّزَاهَةُ رِفْعَةٌ وَكَـرَامَةٌ : Integrity is honor and dignity) is discussed wrt social life aspects such as Integrity as the hall mark for dignified and Honourable life in the world for better living from Quran and Hadith of Prophet ﷺ. This is an approved Jumma Khutba from the Sultanate of Oman and translated in English.

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

النَّزَاهَةُ رِفْعَةٌ وَكَـرَامَةٌ

Integrity is honor and dignity.

Praise be to Allah alone who enjoined honesty and not only He encouraged it, but encouraged honesty and everyone who led to it. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, He is alone, He has no partner. And I bear witness that our Lord and Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, is the servant of ALLAH and His Messenger. He is the best amongst the people who obey the orders of their Lord that Allah Ta'ala has commanded and stay away from all that their Lord has warned against and rejected. Peace and blessings be upon him, upon his family and companions, and upon those who follow him righteously until the Day of Resurrection. ALLAH says in Surah An Nisa:

أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فاعوذ باللہ من الشیطان الرجیم- بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم 

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأۡمُرُكُمۡ أَن تُؤَدُّواْ ٱلۡأَمَـٰنَـٰتِ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهَا وَإِذَا حَكَمۡتُم بَيۡنَ ٱلنَّاسِ أَن تَحۡكُمُواْ بِٱلۡعَدۡلِ‌ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ نِعِمَّا يَعِظُكُم بِهِۦۤ‌ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ سَمِيعَۢا بَصِيرً۬ا

Verily! Allâh commands that you should render back the trusts to those, to whom they are due; and that when you judge between men, you judge with justice. Verily, how excellent is the teaching which He (Allâh) gives you! Truly, Allâh is Ever All¬Hearer, All¬Seer.

Surah An Nisa – 58

ALLAH says in Surah Al Mutaffifeen:

وَيۡلٌ۬ لِّلۡمُطَفِّفِينَ (١) ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكۡتَالُواْ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسۡتَوۡفُونَ (٢) وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمۡ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمۡ يُخۡسِرُونَ (٣) أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ أَنَّہُم مَّبۡعُوثُونَ (٤) لِيَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٍ۬ (٥) يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ (٦)

Woe to Al-Mutaffifun (those who give less in measure and weight). (1) Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, demand full measure, (2) And when they have to give by measure or weight to (other) men, give less than due. (3) Do they not think that they will be resurrected (for reckoning), (4) On a Great Day, (5) The Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)? (6)

Surah Al Mutaffifin – 1-6

O people of Allah, fear Allah - have piety and obey Allah - fear Allah as if you are loyal to Him and hope for His pleasure and Paradise, and worship Him as if that you are the ones who fear your Lord the most and avoid disobeying Him. ALLAH says in Surah Al-Hashr:

يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَلۡتَنظُرۡ نَفۡسٌ۬ مَّا قَدَّمَتۡ لِغَدٍ۬‌ۖ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ‌ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَبِيرُۢ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ

O you who believe! Fear Allâh and keep your duty to Him. And let every person look to what he has sent forth for the tomorrow, and fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is All-Aware of what you do.

Surah Al Hashr – 18

O believers, know – may Allah guide you to the best virtues – that one of the best things for which wise men strive, and in which wise Muslims strive, is sincerity in everything. He said in Surah Al-Binah:

وَمَآ أُمِرُوٓاْ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ

And they were commanded not, but that they should worship Allâh, and worship none but Him Alone (abstaining from ascribing partners to Him),

Surah At Bayyina – 5

How can it not be, O servants of Allah, when it is the path of avoidance of all disgrace and it is the path of the saints who fear Allah, it is the path of integrity and honor, which makes those who follow it the best and the most beautiful. brings to an end, and those who are nearest and best to Allah. Sincerity, the servant of Allah, is a strong character, leading a person to the path of Allah, it is said that it protects from evil, and the Muslim abstains from things that are reprehensible because of good morals, then this is compliance with the meaning of good morals. Honesty, integrity, self-control and performing one's duty as it should be, and everything that Allah has enjoined upon His servants is a trust that must be fulfilled, Allah says in Surah Anfal:

يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَخُونُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ وَتَخُونُوٓاْ أَمَـٰنَـٰتِكُمۡ وَأَنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ

O you who believe! Betray not Allâh and His Messenger, nor betray knowingly your Amânât (things entrusted to you, and all the duties which Allâh has ordained for you).

Surah Al Anfal – 27

O you who believe, a pure Sunnah is not far-fetched, which has been given comprehensive words - short hadith narrated that take what is halal and leave what is haram.

And if we, the servants of Allah, follow integrity in the administrative aspects, we will see that it is the following of moral principles and principles that keep us away from abuse, it protects the management and work. and protects against administrative corruption, for the safety of our institutions and the quality of their individual and institutional performance.

One form of honesty that a Muslim should remember is chastity of all kinds, he is honest in his trade, he does not eat forbidden things, and he does not cheat - The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Whoever cheated us, he is not one of us. A Muslim is trustworthy in his work, he does it with sincerity. Similarly, in another hadith, where the Messenger of Allah has cursed the bribe-taker and the bribe-giver. In the same way, Muslims are trustworthy in whatever they do, they are trustworthy in raising their children. The Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, you are all shepherds and each of you is responsible for his flock. A Muslim is trustworthy in his dealings with others, honest in all his dealings, good manners in his dealings with the young and the old and the rich and the poor. The Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, "The most beloved of you to Me and the closest of you to standing with Me on the Day of Judgment will be the one who has the best morals among you."

Or believers, is there any good character other than honesty, chastity, honesty and piety? Inculcating the fear of God in hearts and seeking His pleasure produces a Muslim whose motto is sincerity, whose guidance is piety, and whose leader acts faithfully. He says in Surah Al-Qasas:

إِنَّ خَيۡرَ مَنِ ٱسۡتَـٔۡجَرۡتَ ٱلۡقَوِىُّ ٱلۡأَمِينُ

the best of men for you to hire is the strong, the trustworthy.

Surah Al Qasas – 26-Part

It keeps the individual in psychological peace, assurance and stability. Protects from wrongful harm by others, or from someone who has transgressed financially or physically. Strong ties and mutual bonds develop among members of the community, property of one's brother is taken care of and vice versa. Seek to benefit the needy and everyone’s trusts and treat each other without fear or danger thus we create a society in which the love of goodness for others prevails. ALLAH says in Surah Hujarat:

إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ إِخۡوَةٌ۬

The believers are nothing else than brothers (in Islâmic religion).

Surah Al Hujaraat – 10-Part

Therefore, fear Allah in your society, your relationships, your trade and your work, be a solid helper for this reliable nation.

أقولُ مَا تَسْمَعُونَ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ العَظِيمَ لِي وَلَكُمْ، فَاسْتَغْفِرُوهُ يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ، إِنَّهُ هُوَ الغَفُورُالرَّحِيمُ، وَادْعُوهُ يَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ، إِنَّهُ هُوَ البَرُّ الكَرِيمُ

========================================================

O people of Allah, fear Allah, the effect of integrity is not limited to one day, but whatever Allah wills, it will bear its fruit tomorrow. Because integrity is the best building block for the future, and because integrity is integral, and because the building process is brick by brick, so whoever wants to be entitled to it, have an honest and safe tomorrow, and let it be a stable and reliable country to build and develop and plant and water, follow and reform from now on. Be prepared, for if somebody is in trouble, blessings will come from the Lord of heaven and earth. He says in Surah al-Furqan:

وَقُلِ ٱعۡمَلُواْ فَسَيَرَى ٱللَّهُ عَمَلَكُمۡ وَرَسُولُهُ ۥ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ‌ۖ

And say (O Muhammad SAW) "Do deeds! Allâh will see your deeds, and (so will) His Messenger and the believers.

Surah Al Furqaan – 74-Part

With this, we reach sustainable development that addresses the present and builds for the future. And let us know that by accustoming individuals and societies, young and old, men and women to all kinds of piety, a generation is created that truly fears Allah, is well-versed in good behavior, and works well, gives importance to its appointed time and production: Allah likes that when one of you does a work, he does it well.

So, O people of Allah, fear Allah - and know that a person's honesty is a proof of his faith, and his sincerity in his work is a sign of his concern.
