DIVINE COVENANT AND SOULS

The sacred bond between Creator and creation

Divine Covenant

Two covenants were taken in the realm of souls, one from all the souls and the other from the souls of Prophets.

Soul's Sustenance

At the time of Divine covenant, the souls were present before Allah, which means they were beholding Him. As stated in sura Al-Araf verse 172 of the Holy Quran, when Allah asked the souls, "Am I not your Lord (Sustainer)?" All the souls collectively replied, "Yes!" The question arises what was their source of sustenance? No doubt, it was the vision of Allah that sustained the souls.

Soul's Attributes

This conversation between Allah and souls proves that at the time of covenant, the souls had the power of hearing with which they heard Allah, the power of sight with which they were beholding Allah and the power of speech with which they replied to the question of Allah. Hence proved that the soul is a complete entity in itself with all these senses and that it is eternally connected to Allah Almighty.

Soul's Choices

At the time of Divine covenant some souls were really happy on promising "Yes" to Allah. These were the souls of Prophets, Saints, Mystics and believers. However some regretted it, these were the souls of non-Muslims, infidels and hypocrites. Then Allah tested the souls by showing them the beauties and charms of the world and paradise.

Divine Destiny

In the realm of souls, following the Divine covenant, whatever the souls chose; Allah, paradise or the world, they spend their worldly life just according to that. The Divine Pen began inscribing their destiny based on these inclinations after the covenant. This illustrates that humans have, in essence, written or shaped their own destinies.

Second Chance

Among the souls that chose the world or paradise, some later regretted their decision, realizing that they had made a mistake. At some point in their worldly life, Allah redirects these souls back to Him, on the basis of certain merits. For instance, those who practice pure generosity for the sake of Allah, those who genuinely love the People of Cloak and the Companions.

Divine Promise

The souls have been given another chance in this world to make up for the promise they broke in pre-existence. One should make the most of this and seek Allah rather than the world and paradise because Allah has promised, "He who seeks Me, finds Me."
