and Testament."

Likewise, He says: "Take what has been ordained for you and follow not
those who have broken God's Covenant and Testament, for lo! they are the
people of error."

Again He says: "Those who have broken the Covenant of God, notwithstanding
His Commands, and have turned away, they are the people of error before
the most Opulent, the Exalted."

And He says: "Those who have been faithful to God's Covenant are of the
highest ones in the sight of the exalted Lord. Those who have become
negligent are of the people of fire in the sight of Thy Lord, the Beloved,
the Independent."

Likewise He says: "Blessed is the servant or maid-servant who believes,
and woe to the polytheists who have violated the Covenant of God and His

the All-Knower."
