172. And (remember) when thy
Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their reins, their seed,
and made them testify of themselves, (saying): Am I not your Lord? They said:
Yea, verily, we testify. (That was) lest ye should say at the Day of
Resurrection, lo! of this we were unaware-

Commentary
By meditating in
the subject of this verse it becomes clear that human being does not need any
bigger, logical and philosophical arguments for knowing his Lord. With a little
attention, he understands that “Lord of mine and everything is there Someone
else” Who is Exalted and Higher than these outward things of the universe. Of
the outward things, even the greatest thing is able to do nothing at its own,
but is bound up in rules and laws, from which it appears that its Lord is there
Someone else Who sets rules and works for it also and Who cannot be seen here.
But His epithets and signs are so clear that no problem happens in accepting
Him. That is why the ignorant, the immature and even the illiterate understand
with just signs that “My Lord is the Greatest of all appearances”. The reason
for it is known from this verse.
It is commanded: O Our Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): Thy Lord has taken covenant
from every human being, the entire fathers and those all children who had to be
borne, before their birth, by collecting their souls and asking from every soul
separately that they should reply God’s question: Am I not your Lord? Those
entire souls testified: Yes, verily, You are our Lord. But after birth, they
forget their covenant being entangled in apparent things. Sometimes they tell about
anyone that; that is our lord and sometimes they begin to say: that thing is
our lord. Therefore, We remind to every humankind by sending this Qur’an through
Our Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): Behold! You have
accepted that I am your Lord, so you should remember it.
Holy Qur’an has
been exclaiming that every human being can know easily his actual Lord because
his soul has testified before birth that He is One Lord, and this covenant has
been reminded by God’s Messengers (peace be upon Them) and His Scriptures again
and again in the world.
