Abstract
SUBJECT AND OBJECTIVES: Commitment to the covenant is one of the most important values in religious moral system. Faithfulness to the covenant and its profound role in human meaningful life and human societies can be considered and examined from different aspects; but the main question in this research is that: What are the importance and effects of fulfilling the covenant and its meaning in life From Religious Perspective? METHOD AND FINDING: The method of this research is a descriptive method, by using library studies, review of documents and review of verses and hadiths and narrative-revelatory arguments related to the subject of discussion in the field of religious studies. CONCLUSION: We have concluded that based on the verses of the Quran and hadiths, commitment to the covenant has a high status in Islam like other Abrahamic religions; but in particular, the value of fulfilling the covenant in Islam has come to be synonymous with faith; this means that if a person does not fulfill his covenant, he has no faith. This meaning has been considered so important in the lives of human beings and human societies that if a covenant is made with the enemy and even the polytheists and unbelievers it must be committed. Therefore, one of the behaviors that play an important role in moral societies and it is important in making life meaningful and also in tolerance of human society, is the commitment to the covenant.
