Covenants with Allah: Keystone of Islam offers a groundbreaking reappraisal of Islam as a religion rooted in sacred covenants—binding commitments that define the terms of human existence and coexistence. Drawing upon extensive analysis of the Qur?an, covenants of Prophet Mu?ammad, and the historical record of Muslim governance, Halim Rane and Ibrahim Zein recover the concept of covenant (?ahd and mithaq) in Islam and its centrality to the principles of accountability, justice, and trust.

In an era of profound global fracture and moral uncertainty, this book demonstrates that covenants are not peripheral but foundational to Islam’s ethical and legal architecture. It reveals how the Qur?an’s covenantal ethos shaped Muslim consciousness, diplomacy, and interreligious relations—and how the violation of modern international covenants and treaties threatens peace and security. This bold and timely work is rigorous but accessible—essential reading for anyone interested in Islam and our shared humanity.
