This is a sampling of the
many texts in the Koran that mention a covenant. They are all referring to
the covenant made when Israel was camped around Mt. Sinai.
"And when Allah made a covenant with those who were given the Book[Hebrew scriptures]: You shall certainly make it known to men and you shall not hide it; but they cast it behind their backs and took a small price for it; so evil is that which they buy." (Koran 3:187)
"And remember the favor of Allah on you and His covenant with which He bound you firmly, when you said: We have heard and we obey, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, surely Allah knows what is in the breasts." (Koran 5:7 )
"Surely Allah has bought of the believers their persons and their property for this, that they shall have the garden; they fight in Allah's way, so they slay and are slain; a promise which is binding on Him in the Taurat[Torah] and the Injeel [New Testament Gospel] and the Quran; and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? Rejoice therefore in the pledge which you have made; and that is the mighty achievement." (Koran 9:11 )
