A Scout is Trustworthy

A Scout is friendly. Be a friend to everyone, even people who are very different from you. A Scout is a friend to all other scouts. A Scout offers friendship to people of all races, religions, and nations, and a Scout respects them even if their beliefs and customs are different. (The Scout Handbook)

Muslims should treat everyone equally and befriend everyone regardless of race and ethnicity, and this can be witnessed during the Hajj when all men wear a white cloth regardless of race or status. The Muslim is friendly and neighborly towards people of all religions, respecting their houses of worship and joining hands with them in good causes.

Allah is Al-Lateef, the Gentle and Benevolent. He knows our thoughts and emotions and deals with us gently through kind, subtle, and friendly ways. When we recognize how Al-Lateef treats us with so much gentleness, that should make us want to be a source of friendliness and kindness to others as a way of being grateful to Him.

What do Allah and the Prophet(s) say about being Trustworthy?

In the Quran

فَمَا ٱسْطَـٰعُوٓا أَن يَظْهَرُوهُ وَمَا ٱسْتَطَـٰعُوا لَهُۥ نَقْبا ٩٧
