Abstract:

Faithfulness, in its most basic sense, is to act based of loyalty in all kinds of words and actions of a person. In this context, keeping one’s word, staying true to one’s word and agreement, abiding by the trust, and having the determination to perform a job completely and flawlessly are also included in the scope of faithfulness. Today, when these values are starting to deteriorate, the concept of faithfulness, which is one of the basic moral principles, should be brought to the agenda again. From this point of view, in the study, the meaning of the concept of faithfulness is emphasized within the framework of the narrations related to the subject, and the importance of establishing the phenomenon of faithfulness is pointed out in the light of the example of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). We aim is to draw attention to the phenomenon of faithfulness, which gradually loses its value in practical life, and to try to bring this important concept back to social consciousness and sensitivity from the perspective of sunnah. Accordingly, the concept of fidelity is scanned from the narration material in the main hadith sources known as al-kutub al-tisʿah, and it is tried to determine the meaning field of the related concept within the framework of the hadiths in question. The study is critical because it focuses on the concept of faithfulness and finding a meaning area through other principles and values closely related to the narration material.
