According to search-discovered classical Islamic scholarship, the concept of Covenants ('Ahd and Mithaq) is a foundational principle governing the relationship between Allah and humanity, as well as interactions between people. Imam al-Raghib al-Isfahani explains that the command in Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:1) to 'fulfill all contracts' (`uqud`) is comprehensive, encompassing three main types: the primary covenant with Allah to believe and obey, personal vows and oaths, and interpersonal contracts like marriage and trade. This is built upon the primordial covenant, or *Mithaq* (Quran 7:172), where all human souls testified to Allah's lordship before creation, a pledge inscribed in our innate nature (fitrah). The terms 'Ahd (pledge/promise) and Mithaq (a firmer, more solemn bond) are used throughout the Quran to emphasize that honoring one's word is a sacred trust (*amanah*), a sign of true faith, and a cornerstone of a just society. Fulfilling these covenants, from the greatest pledge to Allah down to daily promises, is thus not merely a social etiquette but a profound act of worship and a key to attaining piety (taqwa).
