[98] That is, when you are about to make a deal, your intention should be pure. There should be no intention of betrayal, dishonesty, or breach of covenant in your heart, and if you do so, there will be two harms: firstly, your own reputation will be destroyed and instead there will be disgrace and humiliation. Secondly, those who wish to embrace Islam, when they see that Muslims do the same things as disbelievers, why would they be inclined towards Islam? In this way, you yourself will become a cause of obstruction in the path of Islam. Therefore, besides disgrace and the destruction of reputation in this world, you will also be severely punished in the Hereafter.
