Abstract:

The word wafa’ and its derivatives appear in approximately sixty-eight verses in the Qur'an. In some verses, it is mentioned with the words covenant, contract, reckoning, deed, kasb, reward. In the verses that it is related to the concept of covenant and contract, it includes showing loyalty to Allah and the promise given to people. The concept “honoring the covenant” includes fulfilling the promises made regarding the tawhid, the heralding of the Qur'an and the Prophet Muhammad and the legitimate rights of people. It is not viable to be faithful to promises made on illegitimate matters. The verses mentioned with the words reckoning, deed and kasb indicate that Allah will make the reckoning completely in the hereafter and that the rights in this world will be given in full. These words are the words that refer to both the hereafter and the world. The word reward is reserved only for the hereafter, meaning that the people of faith will end up in Paradise and the people of disbelief will end up in Hell without anyone being wronged. Wafa’ and its derivatives mean maturity, perfection, justice combined with benevolence, grace and excessive reward.
