In a pre-eternal realm, before this world as we know it, every soul that would one day manifest into an earthly form was asked by Allah, “Am I not your Lord?” This soup of souls vibrated into a symphony of affirmation as every single being replied, “Yes, yes, we testify” to the singularity of God. As a result of this covenant, it can be said that at the soul level every person, regardless of conscious belief, is fully aligned with the Divine (7:172).
