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.
