All Abrahamic theists must enter into a covenant with God where the terms of 'contract' are confined to the main holy texts.
You do not get to say what other people must do.
You do not get to provide advice or interpretation for a religion that is not even yours.
Your mentality is extremely irritating!
WHO ARE YOU to insist "You do not get to say what other people must do." you're God?
It make you very silly to impose the above points.
This is a Philosophy Forum where one can freely discuss whatever topic subject to the rules of this Forum.
The fact is you are ignorant of the substance of the Abrahamic religions.
Why are you complaining when I am presenting what is in the holy texts?
If you think it is wrong, provide your objections.
There is a serious subject of Covenantal Theology supporting the fact that all Christians are offered to enter into a covenant [divine contract] with God:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covenant_theology
The covenant of grace promises eternal life for all people who have faith in Christ. God also promises the Holy Spirit to the elect to give them willingness and ability to believe.
...
The covenant of grace became the basis for all future covenants that God made with mankind such as with Noah (Genesis 6, 9), with Abraham (Genesis 12, 15, 17), with Moses (Exodus 19–24), with David (2 Samuel 7), and finally in the New Covenant founded and fulfilled in Christ.
I have already given loads of supporting reference on the imperative covenant [mithaq, ahd] between Muslims and Allah.
Q7:172 And ˹remember˺ when your Lord brought forth from the loins of the children of Adam their descendants and had them testify regarding themselves. ˹Allah asked,˺ “Am I not your Lord?” They replied, “Yes, You are! We
testify.” ˹He cautioned,˺ “Now you have no right to say on
Judgment Day, ‘We were not aware of this.’
[Q13:20-23] Those who fulfil the
covenant [biʿahdi] with God, and break not the compact {agreement} [l-mīthāqa];
who join what God has bidden to be joined; and dread their Lord and fear the evil reckoning;
who remain patient, craving their Lord's countenance; and perform the prayer; and
expend [in alms] of what We have provided them secretly and openly; and
ward off evil with good
—these shall have the recompense of the [eternal) abode, Gardens of Eden which they shall enter. (XIII, 20-23)
