The Qur’an describes the rendering back one's trusts to those to whom they are due as a moral principle and a way to success. Believers should always respect the trust reposed in them and thus win others' confidence in return. Besides, believers should also determine to whom to hand the trusts, that is, to whom they are due. On this, the Qur’an delivers the following injunction: “Allah commands you to render back your trusts to those to whom they are due; and when you judge between man and man, that you judge with justice:

Verily how excellent is the teaching which He gives you! For Allah is He Who hears and sees all things.”

Surat An-Nisa, 4:58

Another verse states.

“Whoever fulfills his promise and guards (against evil) then surely Allah loves those who guard (against evil).”

Surat Aal-e-Imran, 3:76

A trust may be something of financial value, or atask or a matter of responsibility. The believers should use their wisdom and sense of discrimination in determining those who are worthy of trust.
