Keeping Promises...

I am in a situation where one of my family members promised my daughter something, and then decided not to give it to her because of something that happened six months ago. My daughter is 13 years old.:girl3:This has upset me a great deal for the simple fact that I try NOT to break my promise to anyone, yet alone my kids, because they are so vulnerable and sensitive. They remember what you tell them, and hold you to it, mashallah. If I promise my kids I will get them something, I try to do it, even if it leaves me to my last penny, but I kept my promise and my kids are happy, Alhamdullilah.

"O you who have believed, why do you say what you do not do?"
Great is hatred in the sight of Allah that you say what you do not do."(61:2,3)

These ayats come to mind when I think about this because this is a very bad trait to have and it is also one of the signs of a hypocrite. So I just wanted to ask how are you all at keeping your promise to people? Do you go out your way, or do you pay it no mind? Has anyone broken their promise to you and how did it make you feel? Just curious inshallah, because we should try to keep our word every way possible, even if it takes you a long time to do it. Jazakallahu Khairan to All.:hijabi:

thank you sister for the post ... i always say this to myself that m a man of my words ... so when i promise anyone i try to fulfill it to my best abilities sometimes it takes time but sooner or later i try and fulfill it..alhumdurillah .. yes many times i have been promised and have also been let down ... it hurts me a lot but then i feel like every finger is not same in ur hand so they are also people who do not mind to break their promises..and they don't feel a hitch... in my past i have also gone much ahead in keeping my promises which even lended me up into more problems but Allah's grace i take life positive and get over it and move on ..... bottom line .. whenever i kept my word/promises i feel good from within me and it makes me happy and at the same time i feel terrible when one does not ..... this is all i got to say sister ....... Allah hafiz
