76. 1. To fulfill the covenant means to fulfill the covenant that was taken from the People of the Book or from their communities through every prophet regarding having faith in the Prophet ﷺ, and to be pious, meaning to avoid the prohibitions of Allah Almighty and to act upon those matters which the Prophet ﷺ has explained. Such people will certainly not only be safe from the accountability of Allah but will also be beloved to Allah Almighty.
