The ability to perceive the existence of a Supreme Being (God) is
innate in human nature ( Fitrah), and it is this instinctive
cognition that explains why in every culture there is a term referring
to the Supernatural Divine - God.
In this verse we are told that, spiritually, our soul has already
testified to Allah’s Lordship prior to our physical sojourn on this
earth. Thus it is the Arabic term for “man” has that meaning “to
forget”, and messengers were sent but to be (MUDZAKKIR) the ones
to give “reminders” (DZIKR) to man, as well as the “Warner”
(NADZEERA) regarding the consequence for heedlessness of this
Reality.
