There were a great many covenants made by God with man, some conditional some unconditional. I guess you could say there are seven considered to be the most important ones. Covenants were made for different circumstances. The covenant of Moses was one of Law, and yes the Ten Commandments were part of it. Jesus fulfilled the Law... Not invent new rules... Jesus gave us two commandments to live by under the new covenant of Grace that we accept through Him, they are :-

Matthew 22:37-40, "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

these see two commandments encompass all the ten that Moses brought.. Because if you love God with all your heart and soul you will only wish to please Him.. So stealing, killing, coveting, adultery etc it goes without saying you will keep away from such sins because by doing so you are pleasing and loving God. Same goes for loving ones neighbour. The dietary laws were for the Jewish people the Gentiles were not under these laws. It's said that nothing that goes into your body (that you eat) that God has provided is harmful to you the bad in a person is to be found from within that person. However, many Christians do not eat pork, myself included, well actually I'm a vegetarian, but if I wasn't I wouldn't eat pork anyway. But that is a personal choice.

The reason why I assumed muslims adhere to the Old Testament covenant.. I'm thinking the Abrahamic one is because you do not eat pork and have similar dietary laws, like the Jews, and also circumcise, like the Jews. So, you didn't answer the question... What covenant did God make with Mohammed for the muslims?
