This is because living in a country implies a contractual agreement to obey its laws, and Allah the Most High states in Surah Al-Maidah, verse 1:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8220;O you who believe, fulfil your contracts.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Additionally, in Surah An-Nisa, verse 58, Allah says:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8220;Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due, and when you judge between people, judge with justice.
