THE TRUE COVENANT WITH ALLAH
Anyone, who submits to Allah (becomes a Muslim), makes a covenant when he says ?I hear and obey?.
The covenant of the children of Israel
QURAN
263 And We took your covenant, and raised the mount above you ?Take what We have given you with strength, and remember what is in it that you may be righteous.?
283 And We took the covenant of the Children of Israel ?You shall not serve except God; and you shall do good unto your parents and kinsfolk, and the orphans, and the poor; and you shall speak unto all people in a kindly way, and you shall be constant in prayer, and you shall spend in charity." And yet, save for a few of you, you turned away for you are obstinate folk!
293 And We took your covenant, and raised the mount above you ?Take what We have given you with strength, and listen.? They said ?We hear and disobey!? And they had consumed the calf inside their hearts by their disbelief. Say ?Miserable indeed is what your belief orders of you if you are believers!?
513 But because of them breaking their covenant, We have cursed them, and made their hearts become hardened; they take the words out of context; and they forgot much of what they were reminded of. And you will still discover betrayal in them except for a few; so pardon them and overlook; God loves the good doers.
TORAH
Deuteronomy 523-29. 23 So it was, when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes and your elders. 24 And you said ?Surely YHVH (The One Who Is, Was, Will Be / The Eternal) our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with men; yet he still lives. 25 Now therefore, why should we die? for this great fire will consume us; if we hear the voice of YHVH our God anymore, then we shall die. 26 For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived? 27 You go near and hear all that YHVH our God may say, and tell us all that YHVH our God says to you, and we will hear and do it (obey). 28 Then YHVH heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me, and YHVH said to me ?I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They are right in all that they have spoken. 29 Oh, that they had such a heart in them that they would fear me and always keep all My commandments, that it might be well with them and with their children forever.?The covenant of the submitted ones (Muslims)
2447 And they say ?We believe in God and in the messenger, and we obey,? but a group of them turn away after that. These are not believers.
2448 And if they are invited to God and His messenger to judge between them, a party of them turn away.
2449 But, if the judgment is in their favor, they come to him readily!
2450 Is there a disease in their hearts, or are they doubtful? Or do they fear that God and His messenger would wrong them in the judgment? In fact, they are the wrong doers.
2451 The utterance of the believers when they are invited to God and His messenger to judge in their affairs is to say ?We hear and obey.? These are the winners.
57. And remember the favor of Allah upon you and His covenant with which He bound you when you said, "We hear and we obey"; and fear Allah. Indeed, Allah is Knowing of that within the breasts.
6416. So fear Allah as much as you are able, and listen and obey, and spend ; it is better for your selves. And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul ? it is those who will be the successful.
1691. And fulfill the covenant of Allah when you have taken it, , and do not break oaths after their confirmation while you have made Allah, over you, a security . Indeed, Allah knows what you do.
1695. And do not exchange the covenant of Allah for a small price. Indeed, what is with Allah is best for you, if only you could know.
6151 Say "Come, let me convey unto you what God has forbidden to you "Do not ascribe divinity, in any way, to aught beside Him; and do good unto your parents; and do not kill your children for fear of poverty - it is We who shall provide sustenance for you as well as for them; and do not commit any shameful deeds, be they open or secret; and do not take any human being's life - which God has declared to be sacred - otherwise than in justice this has He commanded you so that you might use your reason;
6152 and do not touch the substance of an orphan - save to improve it - before he comes of age." And give full measure and weight, with equity We do not burden any human being with more than he is well able to bear; and when you voice an opinion, be just, even though it be one near of kin. The covenant of Allah fulfill; this has He commanded you, so that you might keep it in mind.
6153 And that this is the way leading straight unto Me follow it, then, and follow not other ways, lest they cause you to deviate from His way.
1319 CAN, THEN, he who knows that whatever has been bestowed from on high upon thee by thy Sustainer is the truth be deemed equal to one who is blind? Only they who are endowed with insight keep this in mind
1320 they who are true to their bond with God and never break their covenant;
1321 and who keep together what God has bidden to be joined, and stand in awe
of their Sustainer and fear the most evil reckoning
1325. But those who break the covenant of Allah after contracting it and sever that which Allah has ordered to be joined and spread corruption on earth ? for them is the curse, and they will have the worst home.
226. Indeed, Allah is not timid to present an example ? that of a mosquito or what is smaller than it. And those who have believed know that it is the truth from their Lord. But as for those who disbelieve, they say, "What did Allah intend by this as an example?" He misleads many thereby and guides many thereby. And He misleads not except the defiantly disobedient,
227. Who break the covenant of Allah after contracting it and sever that which Allah has ordered to be joined and cause corruption on earth. It is those who are the losers.
376. But yes, whoever fulfills his covenant and fears Allah; then indeed, Allah loves those who fear Him.
377 The ones who purchase with the covenant of God and their oaths a cheap price, those will have no portion in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them, and they will have a painful retribution.-
So rely upon Allah; indeed, you are upon the clear truth.
-
Indeed, you will not make the dead hear, nor will you make the deaf hear the call when they have turned their backs retreating.
-
And you cannot guide the blind away from their error. You will only make hear those who believe in Our verses so they are Muslims .
-
Or do you think that most of them hear or reason? They are not except like livestock. Rather, they are more astray in way.
-
Say, "I do not tell you that I have the depositories of Allah or that I know the unseen, nor do I tell you that I am an angel. I only follow what is revealed to me." Say, "Is the blind equivalent to the seeing? Then will you not give thought?"
Believers, remember your covenant of obedience, so obey the word of Allah doing what is allowed, and do not divide in sects nor spread corruption on earth doing instead the forbidden.
Do not take your own reasoning in what is commanded to you, but obey just as is ordained. Fear provoking the wrath of God upon you.
1 SAMUEL 151-33, 1Samuel also said to Saul, YHVH sent me to anoint you king over His people, over israel. Now therefore, listen to the voice of the words of YHVH...3 Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare tem. But kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey...7 And Saul Attacked the Amalekites, from Havilah all the way to Shur, which is east of Egypt. 8 And he took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, but utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of sword. 9 But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the Sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that was good, and were unwilling to utterly destroy them. But everything despised and worthless, that they utterly destroyed... 18 (said Samuel to Saul) and YHVH sent you on a mission, and said, ?Go, and utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are comsumed.? 19 why then did you not obey the words of YHVH? why did you swoop down on the spoil, and do evil in the sight of YHVH... 21(said Saul to Samuel) But the people took of the plunder, sheep and oxen, the best of the things that should be utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to YHVH your God in Gilal. 22 So Samuel said Has YHVH as great delight in burn offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the words YHVH? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams... 24 Then Saul said to Samuel, ?I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of YHVH and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.? 25 Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and return with me that I may worship YHVH. 26 But Samuel said to Saul, ?I will not return with you, for you have rejected the word of YHVH, and YHVH has rejected you from being the king over Israel...?32 Then Samuel said, ?bring Agag king of the Amalekites here to me.? So Agag came to him cheerfully. And Agag said, ?Surely the bitterness of death is past? 33 But Samuel said, ?As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women.? And Samuel hacked Agag in pieces before YHVH in Gilal.Matthew 518-20. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees (compare to muslim scholars, imams, alims, etc.) you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 515-16. 15 No lamp is lit to be put under a basket, but on a lamp-stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven.
