العهد والميثاق
44 verses in 16 surahs · 9 subtopics
Allah took covenants from the children of Adam, the prophets, the Children of Israel, the People of the Book and the believers: these verses speak of them and command keeping one’s pledges, praising those who honour them and blaming those who break them. They also address treaties with enemies: honouring them until their term as long as the other side does, and openly declaring their termination.

قَالَ لَنْ أُرْسِلَهُۥ مَعَكُمْ حَتَّىٰ تُؤْتُونِ مَوْثِقًا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ لَتَأْتُنَّنِى بِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن يُحَاطَ بِكُمْ فَلَمَّآ ءَاتَوْهُ مَوْثِقَهُمْ قَالَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مَا نَقُولُ وَكِيلٌ ٦٦
[Jacob] said, "Never will I send him with you until you give me a promise [i.e., oath] by Allāh that you will bring him [back] to me, unless you should be surrounded [i.e., overcome by enemies]." And when they had given their promise, he said, "Allāh, over what we say, is Entrusted."
