سُوْرَةُ البَقَرَةِ
Surah Al-Baqara (2) — Ayah 27
ٱلَّذِينَ يَنقُضُونَ عَهْدَ ٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مِيثَـٰقِهِۦ وَيَقْطَعُونَ مَآ أَمَرَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦٓ أَن يُوصَلَ وَيُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ ﴿27﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Those who break Allâh’s Covenant after ratifying it, and sever what Allâh has ordered to be joined (as regards Allâh’s religion of Islâmic Monotheism, and to practise its laws on the earth and also as regards keeping good relations with kith and kin), and do mischief on earth, it is they who are the losers.

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi
Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
(Ayah 27) Three characteristics of the defiantly disobedient who go astray instead of receiving guidance from Allah’s Book are mentioned: breaking Allah’s covenant, severing kinship and other mutual relations, and spreading corruption on earth, just as the polytheists broke the covenant that was taken from them with { «اَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ» }. [ الأعراف : ۱۷۲ ] The Jews and Christians broke the covenant that was taken from them to believe in the Prophet (peace be upon him), the disbelievers of Quraysh severed kinship with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and the Muslims, and the hypocrites spread corruption on earth, and these three characteristics are found in all groups of disbelievers.
