 Yes, the Quran is filled with mentions of covenants ('ahd' and 'mīthāq') between Allah (God) and humanity, covering various relationships: a primordial one with all humans (Q7:172), specific ones with past prophets and peoples like the Children of Israel and Christians, and commitments between individuals. These covenants often involve divine guidance in exchange for faith, obedience (prayer, charity, belief in messengers), and righteous conduct, with consequences for breaking them. 

Key Covenants Mentioned in the Quran:

• Primordial Covenant (Q7:172): Allah questioned the "progeny of Adam" from their loins, asking, "'Am I not your Lord?'" and they all affirmed, creating an innate human recognition of God as the sustainer, a testimony against them on Judgment Day.
• Covenant with the Children of Israel: A pledge to worship only God, be good to parents and the needy, speak kindly, pray, and give alms, with promises of forgiveness and paradise for keeping it, and curses for breaking it, as seen in Surah Al-Ma'idah (Quran 5:12-13) and other verses.
• Covenant with People of Scripture (Jews & Christians): Allah took pledges from them to uphold their scriptures and believe in future messengers, but many broke their commitments, leading to spiritual hardening and enmity, notes Al-Islam.org.
• Covenant with Prophets: Allah made covenants with prophets like Abraham (Ibrahim), promising leadership, and with all prophets to accept and support any later messenger who confirmed their message, notes Al Islam.
• Covenant with Prophet Muhammad & Believers: Believers pledged allegiance to Prophet Muhammad, which is seen as an allegiance to Allah, with promises of great reward for fulfilling the pledge and detriment for breaking it. 

Types of Covenants:

• Between Allah & Humanity: The fundamental pledge of monotheism and guidance.
• Between Individuals: Covenants between spouses, partners, and nations.
• Between God & Prophets: Specific agreements for guidance and leadership

Siege of Jerusalem (425 BCE)


On the 10th of Tevet of the year 3336 from Creation (425 BCE), the armies of the Babylonian emperor Nebuchadnezzar laid siege to Jerusalem. Thirty months later -- on Tammuz 17, 3338 -- the city walls were breached, and on 9 Av of that year, the Holy Temple was destroyed. The Jewish people were exiled to Babylonia for 70 years.



Tevet 10 is observed as a day of fasting, mourning and repentance, in remembrance of the siege of Jerusalem. We refrain from food and drink from daybreak to nightfall, and add the Selichot and other special supplements to our prayers. (More recently, Tevet 10 was chosen to also serve as a "general kaddish day" for the victims of the Holocaust, many of whose day of martyrdom is unknown.)

Footnote

[56:80] A revelation from the Lord of the universe.

[56:81] Are you disregarding this narration?

[56:82] Do you make it your business that you disbelieve?

[56:83] When the time comes and it (your soul) reaches your throat—

[56:84] you will then look around.

[56:85] We are closer to it than you are, but you do not see.

[56:86] If it is true that you do not owe any accounting—

Seven Universes And Seven Earths*

[65:12] GOD created seven universes and the same number of earths. The commands flow among them. This is to let you know that GOD is Omnipotent, and that GOD is fully aware of all things.

Allah is the One Who created seven heavens ˹in layers˺, and likewise for the earth. The ˹divine˺ command descends between them so you may know that Allah is ...

The Purpose of Our Life*

[67:2] The One who created death and life for the purpose of distinguishing those among you who would do better.* He is the Almighty, the Forgiving.

Footnote

[67:3] He created seven universes in layers. You do not see any imperfection in the creation by the Most Gracious. Keep looking; do you see any flaw?

[67:4] Look again and again; your eyes will come back stumped and conquered.

[67:5] We adorned the lowest universe with lamps, and guarded its borders with projectiles against the devils; we prepared for them a retribution in Hell.

[67:6] For those who disbelieved in their Lord, the retribution of Gehenna. What a miserable destiny.

[67:7] When they get thrown therein, they hear its furor as it fumes.

[67:8] It almost explodes from rage. Whenever a group is thrown therein, its guards would ask them, "Did you not receive a warner?"

[67:9] They would answer, "Yes indeed; a warner did come to us, but we disbelieved and said, 'GOD did not reveal anything. You are totally astray.'"

[67:10] They also say, "If we heard or understood, we would not be among the dwellers of Hell!"

[67:11] Thus, they confessed their sins. Woe to the dwellers of Hell.

[67:12] As for those who reverence their Lord, when alone in their privacy, they have attained forgiveness and a great recompense.

[67:13] Whether you keep your utterances secret, or declare them, He is fully aware of the innermost thoughts.

[67:14] Should He not know what He created? He is the Sublime, Most Cognizant.

The Quran refers to "seven heavens" (

$samawat$

) as seven distinct layers of the cosmos, not just the Earth's atmosphere. These layers are described as being one above the other, with the lowest heaven containing the stars. Interpretations of these layers range from the physical atmosphere to multiple universes stacked on top of each other, culminating in the 7th heaven, which is closest to Allah's throne. 

Interpretation of the seven heavens in the Quran 

• Layers of the cosmos: The term "heavens" can refer to the physical sky above the Earth or the entire universe. The Quran describes these as seven ordered layers, a concept that some Islamic scholars link to astronomical systems.
• Hierarchy: The seven heavens are often described as being nested, with each higher heaven containing the one below it.
• The lowest heaven: This is understood to be our own universe, containing the stars, which the Quran refers to as "lamps" or "lights".
• The 7th heaven: This is the highest level of creation, and it is considered the closest to Allah's throne and the entry to paradise (Jannah) for the righteous. 

Possible interpretations of the seven heavens 

• Atmosphere: Some interpretations suggest the seven heavens are the seven layers of the Earth's atmosphere, such as the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere, among others.
• Universes/celestial systems: Other interpretations, supported by some scholars, see the seven heavens as multiple universes or vast celestial systems, such as galaxies, clusters, and superclusters, all stacked on top of one another.
• Spiritual and physical: Some views see a combination of physical and spiritual layers, with each heaven containing different angelic beings and functions. 

"Heaven" as Jannah (Paradise) 

• It is important to distinguish between "heavens" as celestial layers and "Heaven" as Jannah or paradise.
• Jannah is the final destination for the righteous after death and is described as a place of eternal peace, joy, and reunion with family.

victim of parents

 Important Note

In any case, one question may arise here: The day referred to in these verses is named as the 'Day of Requital' and the 'Day of Judgment'. This name itself sows that every person, on that day, will be put to a trial where he will be asked all sorts of questions about his deeds. Why has the Holy Qur'an, at this place, singled out only the question asked about the girl that was buried alive. Carefully considered, it would appear that such a girl was the victim of the barbarism of her own parents. As such, there was no one to raise a plaint against such a brutal act, and to demand retaliation, especially when she was buried secretly with no evidence left. The verse, therefore, signifies that on the Day of Reckoning, even those criminals will be exposed and hauled up in the Divine Court of Justice against whom there was no evidence, nor was there anyone who could stand up on their behalf to demand justice. Allah knows best!

The Bible mentions the horizon in Job 26:10, where it is described as a boundary God created between light and darkness by marking it "on the face of the waters". The term also appears metaphorically, such as in Luke 17:24, where it describes the path of lightning. Additionally, some interpretations use the horizon to discuss topics like one's future, hope, or striving towards a goal, as seen in the context of Philippians 3:10-14 and Proverbs 25:2. 

Literal uses

• Job 26:10: "He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters, for a boundary between light and darkness".
• Luke 17:24: "For just as the lightning, when it flashes, shines from one part of the horizon to the opposite part, so will the Son of Man be on His day".
• Psalm 19:6: "It emerges from the distant horizon".
