وَأَوْفُوا
بِعَهْدِ
اللَّهِ
إِذَا
عَاهَدتُّمْ
وَلَا
تَنقُضُوا
الْأَيْمَانَ
بَعْدَ
تَوْكِيدِهَا
وَقَدْ
جَعَلْتُمُ
اللَّهَ
عَلَيْكُمْ
كَفِيلًا
إِنَّ
اللَّهَ
يَعْلَمُ
مَا
تَفْعَلُونَ

Fulfil the Covenant of Allah when ye have entered into it, and break not your oaths after ye have confirmed them; indeed ye have made Allah your surety; for Allah knoweth all that ye do.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Fulfill Allah’s covenant when you pledge, and do not break [your] oaths, after pledging them solemnly and having made Allah a witness over yourselves. Indeed Allah knows what you do.
