 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.)
