Honesty in the Quran

Honesty is a very important quality which the Quran requires of all of the believers. Muslims are taught in the Quran many important values which are greatly benificial to humanity ( as a whole ).

Lets look at a few verses.

"Cover not Truth with falsehood, nor conceal the Truth when ye know (what it is)." (2:42) The word cover can mean many things, which apply to all daily life activities in regards to your life, career, humanity, and can relate to every single activity in regards to every single human being. or it can simply mean. Don't willingly lie and deceive. If you know the truth then you MUST speak the truth.

"Take not your oaths, to practice deception between yourselves." (16:94)

Once you make a deal, don't break it. As is saying don't make an alliance, then aim to achieve personal ambitions which are against the agreement.

"Truly many are the partners (in business) who wrong each other: Not so do those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and how few are they?" (38:24)

Words revealed 1400 years ago, yet are dead on even in this life time. Matter fact in our life time, those partner who wrong each other are much greater in numbers then before. Not to worry though the numbers of the righteous is up there as well.

"Woe to those that deal in fraud, - Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure, but when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due." (83:1-3)

The first part is clear, WOE TO THOSE THAT DEAL IN FRAUD. saying if your involved in Fraud activities then its not looking so shady for you on judgment day. Then it goes on to explain that in Business, we must not be stingy and give exactly what is due.

In many ways, these lessons can easily be applied as legislative laws, simple yet very direct on do's and don't in business and in life, towards your community or society. Source
