yuhafiz ala waad

Keep a promise

معنی

To fulfill a commitment or pledge made to someone.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The 'Wa'd' is considered a debt. There is a common saying: 'وعد الحر دين عليه' (The promise of a free/noble man is a debt upon him). Keeping promises is a religious duty. The Quran mentions 'And fulfill every commitment, for every commitment will be questioned' (17:34). In countries like Lebanon and Syria, the phrase 'على راسي' (on my head) is often used as a response to a request, implying a promise that will be kept with honor. In the Gulf, 'Abshir' (rejoice/good news) is a common way to accept a request, signifying a strong commitment to follow through.

💬

The 'Inshallah' Factor

In many Arab cultures, people say 'Inshallah' (God willing) when making a promise. This doesn't mean they won't keep it; it's a humble acknowledgment that things are out of their control.
