أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَى
Am I not your Lord? They replied: Yes, indeed.
The descendants of Adam acknowledged the Lordship of Allah. This covenant relates to worship, recognition of the Lord, and accountability in the Hereafter. Treating another as the true Lord contradicts that recognition.
Belief in the covenant does not justify certainty about a particular person’s final fate. Final knowledge belongs to Allah, while individuals are responsible for rectifying belief and conduct.
