102. Most of them We did not find true to their covenant; rather, We found most of them to be defiantly disobedient [107].

Not Fulfilling a Covenant is Fisq (Transgression):
By "covenant" is meant that natural covenant which is present in human nature, and this covenant is famous by the name of ﴿اَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ﴾, according to which every human being made a covenant that he would not take anyone other than his Lord as a deity; and also that covenant which a person makes with other people, whether it is related to transactions or to matters of marriage and divorce; and also that covenant which a person personally makes with his Lord. That is, whatever kind of covenant it may be, the one who breaks it is a fasiq (transgressor).
