Qur’anic Reflections: Natural Faith and the Covenant

The following verses from the Qur’an are covered in this talk:

(Recall) when your Lord brought forth their progeny from the loins of the children of ’Ādam, and made them testify about themselves (by asking them,) “Am I not your Lord?” They said, “Of course, You are. We testify.” (We did so) lest you should say on the Day of Judgment, “We were unaware of this,” or you should say, “It was our forefathers who associated partners with Allah, and we were their progeny after them; would you then destroy us on account of what the erroneous did?” This is how We elaborate the verses, so that they may return. 7:172 – 74
