Covenant

Beliefs & concepts

A solemn bond between god and people, or between parties under witness. Not oath as the spoken vow alone, and not contract as secular law alone.

Islam

  • Covenant appears in Islam.

    The Qur’an recalls mīthāq and ʿahd — covenant and binding pledge — between God and peoples, including the primordial assent. Islamic covenant speech, not a Bible Sinai reprint without a Bible atlasSource.
