In an era marked by the decay of international trust, systemic injustice, and state violence, Halim Rane and Ibrahim Zein’s new book Covenants with Allah is a timely and necessary intervention. The author’s draw our attention to the Qurʾanic and Prophetic concepts of covenant (ʿahd and mīthāq) and frame them as fundamental to both the spiritual core of Islam and its governance ethics. Through rigorous methodology and theological depth, the book offers a compelling framework for viewing Islam as entity grounded in a covenantal tradition of mutual responsibility, justice, human dignity, and accountability.
