41) Piety and Breaking of Promise
One of the issues in which man should observe Taqwa is promise, agreement, and covenant.
God says: “Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve, then they would not believe. Those with whom you make an agreement, then they break their agreement every time and they do not guard (against punishment).”1
