Allah swears by a great many things in the Quran; indeed, by EVERYTHING.


For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. https://biblehub.com/hebrews/6-16.htm


From the Answering Islam article, Allah's Oaths:


Verily, by thy life (O Prophet), in their wild intoxication, they


wander in distraction, to and fro. S. 15:72 Y. Ali


I swear by the Quran full of wisdom S. 36:2

I swear by those who draw themselves out in ranks S. 37:1

Suad, I swear by the Quran, full of admonition. S. 38:1

I swear by the Book that makes things clear: S. 43:2

I swear by the Book that makes manifest (the truth). S. 44:2

Qaf. I swear by the glorious Quran (that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah) S. 50:1

I swear by the wind that scatters far and wide, S. 51:1

I swear by the heaven full of ways. S. 51:7

I swear by the Mountain, S. 52:1

I swear by the star when it goes down. S. 53:1

But nay! I swear by the falling of stars; S. 56:75

Noon. I swear by the pen and what the angels write, S. 68:1

But nay! I swear by that which you see, S. 69:38

Nay; I swear by the moon, S. 74:32

Nay! I swear by the day of resurrection. Nay, I swear by the self accusing soul, that the Day of Judgment is a certainty. S. 75:1-2

I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit), S. 77:1

Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation, S. 77:5

I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked, S. 79:1

But nay! I swear by the stars, S. 81:15

But nay! I swear by the sunset redness, S. 84:16

I swear by the mansions of the stars, S. 85:1

I swear by the heaven and the comer by night; S. 86:1

I swear by the rain-giving heavens, S. 86:11

I swear by the daybreak, S. 89:1

Nay! I swear by this city. S. 90:1

I swear by the sun and its brilliance, S. 91:1

I swear by the night when it draws a veil, S. 92:1

I swear by the fig and the olive, and mount Sinai, And this city made secure, S. 95:1-3

I swear by the runners breathing pantingly, S. 100:1

I swear by the time, S. 103:1 Allah’s Oaths


We may add S 90:3 By a begetter and what he begot.


Therefore Allah swears by me. I am Allah's superior. And we may add verse 39 to S 69


And what you do not see.


Allah swears by what you see and what you don't. Everything is included and nothing excluded. Therefore Allah swears by faeces in the sewer. If a dog drops its guts on the pavement, Allah swears by the mess. It is Allah's superior.


The founder of Islam said that he who swears by other than Allah is a mushrik.


Narrated Sa'd bin 'Ubaidah:

That Ibn 'Umar heard a man saying: "No by the Ka'bah" so Ibn 'Umar said: "Nothing is sworn by other than Allah, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: 'Whoever swears by other than Allah, he has committed disbelief or shirk.'"
