</span>Usually, in the form of the examination form, etc. the students are made to promise that they will follow the prescribed rules and regulations for the exam. <span style="">&nbsp;</span>Cheating in the exam in spite of all this is deceiving others. <span style="">&nbsp;</span>The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said:<span style="">&nbsp;

</span>The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) would usually tell us in every sermon of His:<span style="">&nbsp; </span>There is no Iman in the person who is not trustworthy and there is no religion in that person who does not keep a promise. <span style="">&nbsp;</span>(Musnad Iman Ahmed bin Hambal, Hadith No. <span style="">&nbsp;</span>11935)</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="text-align: left;

</span>In this age, Muslims should pay much more attention to education. <span style="">&nbsp;</span>Muslims students should demonstrate their high aims and progress in the field of education.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="text-align: left;
