Islamic Answer

Taking excessive vows is not encouraged in Islam. A Muslim is expected to speak truth without taking vows. However, if a Muslim has to take a vow, it should be in the name of Almighty Allah e.g. By Allah, or by God.

Christian Answer

There are several types of vows which are common (or were common) among Christians: Wedding Vows, a Vow of Chastity, a Vow of Poverty, and a Vow of Obedience.
