بَلَىٰ مَنْ أَوْفَىٰ بِعَهْدِهِۦ وَٱتَّقَىٰ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ
Bal a man awf a biAAahdihi wa i ttaq a fainna All a ha yu h ibbu almuttaqeen a
Nay, but [God is aware of] those who keep their bond with Him,59 and are conscious of Him: and, verily, God loves those who are conscious of Him.
  - Mohammad Asad

Some of the commentators relate the personal pronoun in 'ahdihi to the person or persons concerned, and therefore take 'ahd as meaning "promise" - thus: "[as for] him who fulfils his promise...", etc. It is, however, obvious from the next verse that the pronoun in 'ahdihi refers to God; consequently, the phrase must be rendered either as "those who fulfil their duty towards Him", or "those who keep their bond with Him" - the latter being, in my opinion, preferable. (For the meaning of man's "bond with God", see surah {2}, note [19].)

In fact, those who keep their promise and guard themselves against evil are His beloved, for Allah loves only those who guard themselves against such evils.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Absolutely! Those who honour their trusts and shun evil- surely Allah loves those who are mindful 'of Him'.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Nay, but (the chosen of Allah is) he who fulfilleth his pledge and wardeth off (evil); for lo! Allah loveth those who ward off (evil).
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Nay. Those that keep their plighted faith and act aright verily Allah loves those who act aright.
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
