al-Amaanah - You must be trustworthy and faithful. An Amaanah can be anything (object, money, loan, secret etc) that is entrusted to a person. He/she is obliged to look after and protect that trust and never to betray it (e.g. by stealing, damaging, discarding, giving away or selling it without permission). Allah says,

“(successful are the believers) and those who are faithful to their trusts and to their covenants” al-Qur’an, Surah al-Mu’minoon, 23: 8

And,


“…So if you entrust eachother, then let he who is entrusted, fulfil his trust, and let him be conscious of Allah, his Lord.” al-Qur’an, Surah al-Baqarah, 2: 283

And,

“Verily, Allah bids you to deliver all that you have been entrusted with unto those who are entitled thereto, and whenever you judge between people, to judge with justice. Verily, most excellent is what Allah exhorts you to do: verily, Allah is all-hearing, all-seeing!” al-Qur’an, Surah al-Nisaa, 4: 58

Anas bin Maalik (ra) narrated the Prophet (saw) said,

“The one who has no Amanah has no Imaan.” Musannaf ibn Abi Shaybah
