Lesson
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 keep his treaty, promise and agreement completely when he makes it with
any other person. It is very necessary to keep the treaty for his personal life
and for those persons with whom he concerns.
There are many forms of the treaty for example; the mankind
makes treaty with his Lord Almighty or with the other persons. In our daily
lives we have to make a lot of promises and agreements with the God Almighty,
brethren, relatives and common people. In other words the treaties mean those
responsibilities to which we make necessary upon ourselves to be completed
strictly. For instance the God Almighty has taken covenant from us that as He
is our Creator and Worshipped so we shall worship only of Him. At the time of
trouble/necessity we shall pray only to Him. We shall believe as He is the One
(God) and the Authority. Now it is our responsibility not to 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 perform completely our
responsibilities and not to behave carelessness from them.
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 lives with any person out of
the countless human beings; we have lifted a very heavy bale of
responsibilities over our heads. It is compulsory to complete 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 the 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 also remain firm till the time
to avail against. As soon as anyone gets power, all the written treaties are
broken.
