Regarding Trusts
The Prophet (sall-Allaahu ?alayhi wa sallam) said:
"Return trusts to the ones who entrusted them to you and do not cheat those who cheat you."
Oh dear Muslims, the responsibility of keeping trusts or things entrusted to you are from the very acts of worship that we worship Allaah with.
As Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta?aala) said in His great book:
"Verily! Allaah commands that you should render back the trusts to those, to whom they are due; and that when you judge between men, you judge with justice. Verily, how excellent is the teaching which He (Allaah) gives you! Truly, Allaah is Ever All-Hearer, All-Seer." (An-Nisaa', 4:58)
And Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta?aala) spoke about those who keep up their trusts, and promised those who guard that which they are entrusted with 'paradise' by His saying:
"Those who are faithfully true to their Amanat (all the duties which Allaah has ordained, honesty, moral responsibility and trusts etc.) and to their covenants." (Al-Mu'minoon, 23:8)
Yes these people will inherit paradise.
"Who shall inherit the Firdaus (Paradise). They shall dwell therein forever." (Al-Mu'minoon, 23:11)
And the part of Paradise they will inherit is the most highest, 'Al-Firdaus'.
So my dear Muslim, being entrusted with a trust is something extremely important and serious and not an unimportant matter. As Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta?aala) mentions in His book:
"Truly, We did offer Al-Amaanah (the trust or moral responsibility or honesty and all the duties which Allaah has ordained) to the heavens and the earth, and the mountains, but they declined to bear it and were afraid of it (i.e. afraid of Allaah's Torment). But man bore it. Verily, he was unjust (to himself) and ignorant (of its results)." (Al-Ahzaab, 33:72)
So look Oh Muslims see how the most greatest of creations refused to take this trust (the skies, the earth and the mountains), but the smallest of creation carried it, the weakest of creation carried it because of its ignorance (of what it entails) and his being unjust.
Also my dear Muslims know! Al-Amaanah "this trust" will be standing by the side of the 'Siraat' on the day of judgement waiting to demand its right from the one who did not return it or cheated on the side of the 'Siraat' just before you climb upon it. So how will you cross it when you have these rights (trusts) to deal with? As based on the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah in Muslim.
Beware oh believers, this is dangerous, so guard the trust, and give them back just as you were given them, in completeness. And know!! Oh slaves of Allaah that the 'trusts of Allaah' are the greatest of trusts (that you have been entrusted with). Verily it is the obedience of the Sharee'ah of Allaah, verily it is carrying out the orders and abandoning the prohibited, verily it is a trust which the skies and earth and the mountains had declined.
So every obligation that Allaah has placed upon us is a (trust) and every prohibition He has prohibited is a (trust) to carry out.
And whoever passes this completion of the trust will succeed in entering Paradise and being saved from the Hellfire.
So be aware my dear Muslims, for indeed cheating in that which is entrusted to you and being unmindful of the trust is nifaaq (hypocrisy).
"The signs of a munaafiq are three. If he speaks he lies, if he promises he breaks it, if he is entrusted he cheats."
Also the hadeeth:
"Four things if found in a person he is a pure munaafiq and whoever has one of these branches, then he has a branch of hypocrisy until he leaves it. If he is entrusted he cheats, if he speaks he lies, if he makes an oath he opposes it, and if he argues he explodes."
Also if we keep our trusts then we should not lie as Allaah's Messenger (sall-Allaahu ?alayhi wa sallam) said:
"Do not lie, because it is just like a trust, which a Muslim does not cheat in or be unmindful of."
So being entrusted Muslims includes:
1) Entrusted by Allaah is obligation ? da?wah.
2) Entrusted again by Allaah who married you - your wives are a trust.
3) Your children are a trust.
4) Your family are a trust.
5) Your Muslim community are a trust.
6) Your role in da?wah is a trust.
7) Your role in teaching is a trust.
8) And your work is a trust.
"Return trusts to the ones who entrusted them to you and do not cheat those who cheat you."
Oh dear Muslims, the responsibility of keeping trusts or things entrusted to you are from the very acts of worship that we worship Allaah with.
As Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta?aala) said in His great book:

"Those who are faithfully true to their Amanat (all the duties which Allaah has ordained, honesty, moral responsibility and trusts etc.) and to their covenants." (Al-Mu'minoon, 23:8)
Yes these people will inherit paradise.
"Who shall inherit the Firdaus (Paradise). They shall dwell therein forever." (Al-Mu'minoon, 23:11)
And the part of Paradise they will inherit is the most highest, 'Al-Firdaus'.
