Is it not (the case) that every time they make a covenant, some party among them throw it aside?- Nay, Most of them are faithless.

It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards east or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah-fearing.

And yet they had already covenanted with Allah not to turn their backs, and a covenant with Allah must (surely) be answered for.

Among the Believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah: of them some have completed their vow (to the extreme), and some (still) wait: but they have never changed (their determination) in the least:

他们每逢缔结一项盟约，不是就有一部分人抛弃它吗？不然，他们大半是不信道的。

你们把自己的脸转向东方和西方，都不是正义。正义是信真主，信末日，信天神，信天经，信先知，并将所爱的财产施济亲戚、孤儿、贫民、旅客、乞丐和赎取奴隶，并谨守拜功，完纳天课，履行约言，忍受穷困、患难和战争。这等人，确是忠贞的；这等人，确是敬畏的。

以前他们与真主确已约定，他们绝不转背。真主的盟约，是应该负责履行的。

信士中有许多人，已实践他们与真主所订的盟约：他们中有成仁的，有待义的，他们没有变节。
