The Importance of Keeping Promises and Their Priorities According to the Perspective of the Qur'an Surah An-Nahl Verse 91

Abstract

A promise or an oath are two different things but both must be kept because there is a trust in both. The use of these terms is very different in meaning and position, especially in the Qur'an. Promises and oaths if broken have the potential to harm the promised party to the loss of trust in the perpetrator. Departing from this, it is important to know what promises and oaths are in the Qur'an and what the position is for violators of promises and oaths according to the views of the mufassir.
