And fulfill the Covenant of Allah when you pledge, and do not break oaths after you swear them solemnly, while you have made Allah a witness over you. Surely, Allah knows all that you do.

And do not be like the woman, who has broken her yarn into pieces after spinning it firmly, by taking your oaths as means of mischief between yourselves, merely be-cause a group is higher (in number and wealth) than the other. In fact, Allah puts you to a test thereby and, of course, He will make clear to you on the Day of Resurrection all that you disputed about.

And if Allah so willed, He would have made you all a single community, but He lets whom He wills go astray and takes whom He wills to the right path. And you will be questioned about what you used to do.

And do not make your oaths a means of mischief among yourselves, lest a foot should slip after it is firmly placed, and you taste evil for your having prevented (others) from the path of Allah, and for you there be a great punishment.

And do not take a paltry price against the pledge of Allah. Indeed, what is with Allah is much better for you, if but you knew.

What is with you shall end and what is with Allah shall last. And certainly, We shall give those who observed patience their reward for the good they used to do.

Whoever, male or female, has done righteous deed, while a believer, We shall certainly make him live a good life and shall give such people their reward for the good they used to do.

So, when you recite the Qur'an, seek the protection of Allah against Satan, the accursed.

He is such that he has no power over those who believe and place trust in their Lord.

His power is only over those who be-friend him and those who associate partners with Him.
