وَلَا تَجۡعَلُواْ ٱللَّهَ عُرۡضَةٗ لِّأَيۡمَٰنِكُمۡ أَن تَبَرُّواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ وَتُصۡلِحُواْ بَيۡنَ ٱلنَّاسِۚ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٞ

224. And make not Allah the target of your oaths [533], that you take an oath for not doing good, nor for fearing [534] Allah, nor for making peace among people. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

Surah Name : Al-Baqarah   Surah Number : 2   Ayat Number: 224

لَّا يُؤَاخِذُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِٱللَّغۡوِ فِيٓ أَيۡمَٰنِكُمۡ وَلَٰكِن يُؤَاخِذُكُم بِمَا كَسَبَتۡ قُلُوبُكُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ حَلِيمٞ

225. Allah does not impose accountability [535] upon you for what is unintentional [536] in your oaths. Yes, but He will take you to task for the oaths which are intended by your hearts. And surely, Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Forbearing.

Surah Name : Al-Baqarah   Surah Number : 2   Ayat Number: 225

۞وَأَقۡسَمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ جَهۡدَ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ لَئِنۡ أَمَرۡتَهُمۡ لَيَخۡرُجُنَّۖ قُل لَّا تُقۡسِمُواْۖ طَاعَةٞ مَّعۡرُوفَةٌۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَبِيرُۢ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ

53. And they have sworn by Allah with utmost strength in their oaths that if you were to command them, they would certainly march forth in Allah's cause [138]. Say, "Do not swear; obedience is required; indeed, Allah is aware of what you do" [139].

Surah Name : An-Nur   Surah Number : 24   Ayat Number: 53

وَأَقۡسَمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ جَهۡدَ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ لَا يَبۡعَثُ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَمُوتُۚ بَلَىٰ وَعۡدًا عَلَيۡهِ حَقّٗا وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ

38. And they swear by Allah with the utmost sincerity of their oaths that Allah will not resurrect the dead. Yes, indeed—[84] it is a true promise from Him, but most people do not know.

Surah Name : An-Nahl   Surah Number : 16   Ayat Number: 38

وَأَوۡفُواْ بِعَهۡدِ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا عَٰهَدتُّمۡ وَلَا تَنقُضُواْ ٱلۡأَيۡمَٰنَ بَعۡدَ تَوۡكِيدِهَا وَقَدۡ جَعَلۡتُمُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ كَفِيلًاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا تَفۡعَلُونَ

91. And fulfill the promise [203] of Allah when you have made it, and do not break [204] the oaths after making them firm [205], and you have already made Allah a surety upon you. Surely Allah knows what you are doing.

Surah Name : An-Nahl   Surah Number : 16   Ayat Number: 91

وَلَا تَكُونُواْ كَٱلَّتِي نَقَضَتۡ غَزۡلَهَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ قُوَّةٍ أَنكَٰثٗا تَتَّخِذُونَ أَيۡمَٰنَكُمۡ دَخَلَۢا بَيۡنَكُمۡ أَن تَكُونَ أُمَّةٌ هِيَ أَرۡبَىٰ مِنۡ أُمَّةٍۚ إِنَّمَا يَبۡلُوكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦۚ وَلَيُبَيِّنَنَّ لَكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ مَا كُنتُمۡ فِيهِ تَخۡتَلِفُونَ

92. And do not be like the woman who untwists her yarn into pieces [206] after it was strong. You make your oaths a means of deceit among yourselves so that one community becomes more numerous [207] than another. Allah only tests [208] you by this, and He will surely make clear [209] to you on the Day of Judgment what you used to dispute [210].

Surah Name : An-Nahl   Surah Number : 16   Ayat Number: 92

وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوٓاْ أَيۡمَٰنَكُمۡ دَخَلَۢا بَيۡنَكُمۡ فَتَزِلَّ قَدَمُۢ بَعۡدَ ثُبُوتِهَا وَتَذُوقُواْ ٱلسُّوٓءَ بِمَا صَدَدتُّمۡ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَكُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٞ

94. And do not make your oaths as unfounded excuses [214] amongst yourselves, lest any foot may slip [215] after being firm, and you have to taste evil [216] because you used to move away from the path of Allah. And for you, there is a great torment [217].

Surah Name : An-Nahl   Surah Number : 16   Ayat Number: 94

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُبَايِعُونَكَ إِنَّمَا يُبَايِعُونَ ٱللَّهَ يَدُ ٱللَّهِ فَوۡقَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡۚ فَمَن نَّكَثَ فَإِنَّمَا يَنكُثُ عَلَىٰ نَفۡسِهِۦۖ وَمَنۡ أَوۡفَىٰ بِمَا عَٰهَدَ عَلَيۡهُ ٱللَّهَ فَسَيُؤۡتِيهِ أَجۡرًا عَظِيمٗا

10. Surely, allegiance to those you indeed swear, swear allegiance to Allah. The Hand of Allah [23] is above their hands. But whoso breaks his oath, he breaks it his own [24] loss, and whoso fulfill the promise which he had made with Allah, then Allah shall soon give him a great reward (25).

Surah Name : Al-Fath   Surah Number : 48   Ayat Number: 10

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَشۡتَرُونَ بِعَهۡدِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ ثَمَنٗا قَلِيلًا أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَا خَلَٰقَ لَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَلَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَا يَنظُرُ إِلَيۡهِمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ وَلَا يُزَكِّيهِمۡ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ

77. Those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their oaths for a small price [162], they will have no share in the Hereafter. And Allah will neither speak to them nor look at them [163] on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them, and for them is a painful punishment [164].

Surah Name : Al Imran   Surah Number : 3   Ayat Number: 77

وَأَقۡسَمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ جَهۡدَ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ لَئِن جَآءَتۡهُمۡ ءَايَةٞ لَّيُؤۡمِنُنَّ بِهَاۚ قُلۡ إِنَّمَا ٱلۡأٓيَٰتُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِۖ وَمَا يُشۡعِرُكُمۡ أَنَّهَآ إِذَا جَآءَتۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ

109. And they swear by Allah their utmost earnest oath [235] that if any sign comes to them, they will surely believe in it. Say: "The signs are with Allah" [236], and what will make you perceive that when the signs come, they will not believe in them.

Surah Name : Al-Anam   Surah Number : 6   Ayat Number: 109

ذَٰلِكَ أَدۡنَىٰٓ أَن يَأۡتُواْ بِٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ عَلَىٰ وَجۡهِهَآ أَوۡ يَخَافُوٓاْ أَن تُرَدَّ أَيۡمَٰنُۢ بَعۡدَ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡۗ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱسۡمَعُواْۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَٰسِقِينَ

108. That is more likely that they may give testimony in accordance with their rights, or they may fear that their oaths may be rejected after they have taken them [293]. And fear Allah and listen [294]. And Allah does not guide the disobedient people.

Surah Name : Al-Maidah   Surah Number : 5   Ayat Number: 108

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ شَهَٰدَةُ بَيۡنِكُمۡ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ حِينَ ٱلۡوَصِيَّةِ ٱثۡنَانِ ذَوَا عَدۡلٖ مِّنكُمۡ أَوۡ ءَاخَرَانِ مِنۡ غَيۡرِكُمۡ إِنۡ أَنتُمۡ ضَرَبۡتُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَأَصَٰبَتۡكُم مُّصِيبَةُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِۚ تَحۡبِسُونَهُمَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ فَيُقۡسِمَانِ بِٱللَّهِ إِنِ ٱرۡتَبۡتُمۡ لَا نَشۡتَرِي بِهِۦ ثَمَنٗا وَلَوۡ كَانَ ذَا قُرۡبَىٰ وَلَا نَكۡتُمُ شَهَٰدَةَ ٱللَّهِ إِنَّآ إِذٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡأٓثِمِينَ

106. O you who believe! [283] Witness between yourselves when death approaches any of you at the time of making a will. Let there be two just men from among you or two others from outside if you are traveling in the land and the calamity of death befalls you. Detain them both after the prayer (286) so they may swear by Allah if there is any doubt (287), that they will not exchange it for a price, even if it be a near relative, and will not conceal the testimony of Allah. If they do so, they are surely among the wrongdoers.

Surah Name : Al-Maidah   Surah Number : 5   Ayat Number: 106

لَا يُؤَاخِذُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِٱللَّغۡوِ فِيٓ أَيۡمَٰنِكُمۡ وَلَٰكِن يُؤَاخِذُكُم بِمَا عَقَّدتُّمُ ٱلۡأَيۡمَٰنَۖ فَكَفَّـٰرَتُهُۥٓ إِطۡعَامُ عَشَرَةِ مَسَٰكِينَ مِنۡ أَوۡسَطِ مَا تُطۡعِمُونَ أَهۡلِيكُمۡ أَوۡ كِسۡوَتُهُمۡ أَوۡ تَحۡرِيرُ رَقَبَةٖۖ فَمَن لَّمۡ يَجِدۡ فَصِيَامُ ثَلَٰثَةِ أَيَّامٖۚ ذَٰلِكَ كَفَّـٰرَةُ أَيۡمَٰنِكُمۡ إِذَا حَلَفۡتُمۡۚ وَٱحۡفَظُوٓاْ أَيۡمَٰنَكُمۡۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ

89. Allah does not hold you accountable for oaths taken by misunderstanding [245], but He will hold you responsible for oaths which you have made binding [246]. Then, the penalty for breaking such oaths is the feeding of ten needy people with the average food with which you feed your families, or clothing them, or freeing a slave. And whoever does not find [the means] — then a fast of three days [247]. This is the alternative penalty for your oaths when you have sworn. And guard your oaths [248]. Thus, Allah explains His signs to you so that you may be grateful.

Surah Name : Al-Maidah   Surah Number : 5   Ayat Number: 89

وَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَهَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَقۡسَمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ جَهۡدَ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمَعَكُمۡۚ حَبِطَتۡ أَعۡمَٰلُهُمۡ فَأَصۡبَحُواْ خَٰسِرِينَ

53. And the believers say: "Are these the same people who swore by Allah in their strongest oaths that they were with you? Their deeds have been destroyed [170], and they have become losers."

Surah Name : Al-Maidah   Surah Number : 5   Ayat Number: 53

وَإِن نَّكَثُوٓاْ أَيۡمَٰنَهُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ عَهۡدِهِمۡ وَطَعَنُواْ فِي دِينِكُمۡ فَقَٰتِلُوٓاْ أَئِمَّةَ ٱلۡكُفۡرِ إِنَّهُمۡ لَآ أَيۡمَٰنَ لَهُمۡ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَنتَهُونَ,

12. If they break their oaths after their agreement and openly taunt at your religion [26], then fight with the leaders of infidelity. Indeed, their oaths are nothing [27]. Thus, they may desist.

Surah Name : At-Tawbah   Surah Number : 9   Ayat Number: 12

أَلَا تُقَٰتِلُونَ قَوۡمٗا نَّكَثُوٓاْ أَيۡمَٰنَهُمۡ وَهَمُّواْ بِإِخۡرَاجِ ٱلرَّسُولِ وَهُم بَدَءُوكُمۡ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۚ أَتَخۡشَوۡنَهُمۡۚ فَٱللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَن تَخۡشَوۡهُ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ,

13. Will you not fight with a people who have broken their oaths and resolved [28] to expel the Messenger, although they made the commencement of hostility against you? Do you fear [29] them? But Allah is most worthy of being feared if you believe in Him [30].

ٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ أَيۡمَٰنَهُمۡ جُنَّةٗ فَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ مُّهِينٞ

Surah Name : Al-Mujadilah   Surah Number : 58   Ayat Number: 16

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ إِذَا جَآءَكَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتُ يُبَايِعۡنَكَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن لَّا يُشۡرِكۡنَ بِٱللَّهِ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَا يَسۡرِقۡنَ وَلَا يَزۡنِينَ وَلَا يَقۡتُلۡنَ أَوۡلَٰدَهُنَّ وَلَا يَأۡتِينَ بِبُهۡتَٰنٖ يَفۡتَرِينَهُۥ بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِنَّ وَأَرۡجُلِهِنَّ وَلَا يَعۡصِينَكَ فِي مَعۡرُوفٖ فَبَايِعۡهُنَّ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لَهُنَّ ٱللَّهَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ

12. O Prophet! When believing women [45] come to you for taking an oath [46] of allegiance at your hands, that they shall not associate [47] anything with Allah, and that they will neither steal, nor commit adultery, nor will they kill [48] their children, nor bring a scandal [49] which they have forged [50] between their hands and feet (i.e., carrying it in their womb), and will not disobey [51] in what is right, then accept their allegiance, and ask forgiveness [52] for them from Allah. Undoubtedly, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful [53].

ٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ أَيۡمَٰنَهُمۡ جُنَّةٗ فَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّهُمۡ سَآءَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ

قَدۡ فَرَضَ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡ تَحِلَّةَ أَيۡمَٰنِكُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ مَوۡلَىٰكُمۡۖ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ
