* v.20 : The “covenant” is, in this context, a general term embracing the spiritual obligations arising from one’s faith in God and the moral and social obligations, resulting from that faith, towards one’s fellow-men (Zamakhsharī); see in this connection the first sentence of 5:1 (where the term ‘aqd is used) and the corresponding note 1. As regards my rendering of ‘ahd Allāh as “bond with God,” see sūrah 2, note 19.
