One of the evidence that a person has good faith is that people see his goodness in all his actions and dealings.  Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “The Muslim is he whom people are safe from the tongue and hand and the Moemen is whom his neighbour is safe from his bad deeds”.

No one should see evil or fear evil or bad deeds from the good believing Muslim.  They feel safe in all their dealings with him/her.

As a neighbour, they will respect their neighbour rights to privacy, peace and quite, and the safety for themselves and their property.  Will visit the sick neighbour and help them if in need and condole for their loss. 

As a merchant, your customers will always trust the good quality of your goods, and if they have faults you tell them.  They never fear to be cheated in the quality of the goods or it’s weight or any thing else.

As a buyer, he does not cheat people or uses bad times to take people’s things for very low prices undervaluing their goods.

If a labourer, he does his work will, and this will be known about him.  Will never cheat in the quality or the workmanship of the goods, prices or times for finish etc.

It is an evidence of the good faith of the Muslim that men only see all that is good and righteous from him and come to no harm from him.  This is one of the greater aims of Islam.  Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said : “I have been sent to complete and perfect the descent characters”.
