Code of Conduct - Majlis 3: Returning the Imam's Amaanat

Majlis 3 - The Return of the amaanat to the Imam God says, “God commands you to give back the ‘amaanat’ to their owners”. (4:58) “If any of you were to deposit something with some one, than let the one with whom the things are deposited return the deposit to its depositor”. (2:283) “O mu’mins, do not commit breach of trust in your dealings with God and the Prophet and do not abuse he trust in the matter of ‘amaanats’ knowingly” (8:27) The Prophet said, “Do not commit breach of trust, do no go to excess and do not be deceitful”. “It is your duty to return the ‘amaanat’. He who deceives us is disowned by us”. Ali said to some of his followers “Give back what has been deposited with you and do no commit the breach of trust in your dealings even with those who have abused your trust”. These quotations from the Quran and the traditions make it clear to us that God the Prophet and the Imams have ordered us in unequivocal terms to return the deposits to their owners regardless of their being our friends or foes. It is the duty of the mu’min to give back the amaanat. If it is obligatory on us to return the amaanat to all sorts of people, how many times more obligatory does it become for us that we should return the amaanat which belongs to Imams? To commit a breach of trust in your dealings with the Imams is a dreadful affair and the worst possible sin. God says, “O mu’mins do not commit breach of trust in your dealings with God and the Prophet”. (8:72) Thus he who deceives the Prophet deceives God. God says, “Those who make covenant with you make covenant with God” (48:10) “He who obeys the Prophet obeys God. Obey God, obey the Prophet and obey your spiritual leaders”. (4:59) It follows that obedience to the Imams is obedience to God and disobedience to them is disobedience to God. He who gives them their amaanat gives the amaanat of God to God. If breach of trust is forbidden in general, then breach of trust in our dealings with the Imams is the worst sin. Thus sincerity to the Imams and the return of the amaanat to them are the best things that we have been enjoined upon to do. He who fails to do this and deceives them, is cast off from their fold.
