Editing Promise (section)

===Islam===
In Surah [[An-Nahl]], God forbids [[Muslim]]s to break their promises after they have confirmed them. All promises are regarded as having Allah as their witness and guarantor. In the [[hadith]], Muhammad states that a Muslim who made a promise and then saw a better thing to do, should do the better thing and then make an act of [[atonement]] for breaking the promise.{{Citation needed|date=April 2010}} It is forbidden to break an oath in Islam. However, when someone does break an oath, they are required to ask for forgiveness and make up for the sin by feeding/clothing 10 poor people or freeing a slave (which is nearly impossible today), or, if unable to do these, to fast for three days. One of the four types of promises that are punished quickly is when you want to harm a relationship when the other person wants to keep it.<ref>"Greater Sins."
