There shall be no share in the Hereafter for those who sell Allah’s covenant and their oaths for a paltry gain, and on the Day of Resurrection Allah will not speak to them nor will He [so much as] look at them, nor will He purify them, and there is a painful punishment for them.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Surah 'Ali-Imran, Verse 77
77. "Verily those who sea Allah's covenant, and their oaths, for a little price, these! there will be no share for them in the Hereafter, and Allah will not speak to them, nor will He look towards them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He make them grow (by purifying of sin), and they will have a painful chastisement."
Allah threatens, of course, those who breach their promise to following five kinds of divine wrath and deprivation from the grace of Allah.
1. The lack of any merit in the Hereafter.
2. The deprivation from the speech of Allah.
3. The deprivation from the grace of Allah.
4. The deprivation of purity from sin.
5. To be involved in the painful punishment of Allah.
In the Islamic literature, it is narrated that the Messenger of Allah (S) has said:
"The person who does not observe trustworthiness, is faithless; and the person who does not fulfil his promise, has no religion." 6
