Keeping promise is one of the important ethical characteristics, and affects the improvement of all human society affairs, unlike a breach of promise that undermines the family, social, economic, and political order of societies. Thanksgiving is also one of the most important moral virtues and the characteristics of educated man. The Holy Qur'an and hadiths of the Infallibles (a) have taken a special look at the issue of keeping promise and thanksgiving and have repeatedly ordered both. But the uneducated man, not only in relation to other human beings, but also in relation to his Creator, takes the path of breach of promise and ingratitude. The Holy Qur'an has condemned the breach of promise and ingratitude of previous nations and tribes by mentioning their performance and reminded of their adverse consequences. Among those consequences are the destruction of property, the moral disease of hypocrisy, deprivation of spiritual success, world destruction, and becoming the dwellers of hell, and each of these alone can be sufficient incentive and motivation to address the subject of the present article. The result of the process of investigating the factors, cases and consequences of the breach of promise and ingratitude is to achieve the conclusion that from the perspective of the Holy Quran, the way to prevent these two unpleasant moral components is to rely on the two main axes of all moral virtues, namely patience and prayer, along with righteous deeds. By using commentaries of scholars of interpretation and Ethics books related to scientists of morality science, constantly remembering God, not being unaware of death, fear of retribution for deeds and purification of the soul can be considered in line with these two solutions.
