Is saying, "I made a covenant between myself and my soul to perform a number of acts of obedience" or "I made a covenant upon myself to perform a number of acts of obedience" considered a covenant with Allah Almighty, and what are the implications for me if I forget the exact wording I used?
The covenant with Allah is made by saying: "I covenant with Allah concerning such and such." As for merely covenanting with oneself, nothing results from it, and it does not fall under the meaning of an oath or a vow.
