Because of Iman, a person would not waste time by working carelessly and without sincerity because that is a sin, which will invoke the anger of Allah.

He added that Iman, the true faith in Islam, showed believers the beauty of hard work and honesty in becoming a better person.

That way there would there be no problem of moral decadence among the community, the ruler said in his royal address (Titah) on the occasion of Adil Adah, the feast of sacrifice that falls today.

Such is the beauty of Iman said His Majesty that if everyone who possess it there would not be any slackening among officers and workers either in the public or private sector nor will there be any problem of moral decadence among the community.

He said Iman helps a person to conduct life and perform his duties properly.
