In The Name of Most Loving Merciful Allah
In the previous discussions we came to the conclusion that according to Koranic knowledge and the Prophet (S) and the 12 Imams (A), before we entered this world by birth we had experienced other worlds where God had us to acknowledge God and has implanted such insight of Godly admittance in our soul. Without such insight of bygone worlds no one could make any perception of God. In this regard there are many Koranic verses and sacred quotations some we hereunder briefly ponder over:
Bihar el Anwar, Chapter 5, page 223, Section 9 …
13- Reference is made to Words of God: “(Remember) when God took from the descendants of the children of Adam (S) their offspring and had them testify to their inner-self (ego) and said upon them “Am I not your God?” They replied: “We testify that you are! “(This was done) so that on the Resurrection Day no one would say we were not informed (Chapter: I’raaf, 172). Imam Sadigh (A) makes elucidation for us as such: “This was God’s examining (so as all God’s subjects without any mental vision would discern God using divinely bestowed Unitarian eyes).Then man in this world is made to forget such Godly examining yet kept it placed in the hearts testimony to God Almighty. Without such Divine introduction and diagnostic of insights, no man would realize they had a creator and nurturer and as such God quotes that when they are asked who created them; they shall unquestionably say God (a Divinity known to all particles existing in all universe).

El-Touhid (By: El-Siddough), 329, Section 53
“… I asked from Imam Sadigh (A) about this word of God: “The Divine Soul on which people are innately cast? He replied: Divine Soul means: Unitarianism.”
«)عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِاللَّهِ قال: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِطْرَتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِی فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَیْها» قال: التَّوْحیدُ« (
El-Touhid (by : El-Siddough) 329/53
When asked about what soul was, Imam Sadigh (A) had replied: “It is Islam upon which people were innately cast when being asked to testify upon Unitarianism and Divine Oneness: Am I not your God? In such an oath-taking both believers and heathens were present.
)عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِاللَّهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «فِطْرَتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِی فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَیْها» مَا تلْكَ الْفِطْرَةُ؟ قَالَ: «هِی الاْءِسْلَامُ فَطَرَهُمُ اللَّهُ حِینَ أَخَذَ مِیثَاقَهُمْ عَلَی التَّوْحِیدِ، فَقَالَ: «أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ» وَ فِیهِ الْمُؤْمِنُ وَ الْكَافِرُ (

“… I asked from Imam Sadigh (A) about this word of God: “The Divine Soul on which people are innately cast? He replied: God has created all people upon Unitarianism.”
)عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَاعَبْدِاللَّهِ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «فِطْرَتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِی فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَیْها» قَالَ: «فَطَرَهُمُ جَمِیعا عَلَی التَّوْحِیدِ»(
El-Touhid (by : El-Siddough) 329/53
Imam Sadigh (A) quotes: “Soul is a creation of God based on Unitarian insight and admitting that the Blessed Muhammad Ibn Abdullah (S) is prophet of God and Ali (A) is the 1st Imam, the Commander of Pious”.
)عَنْ أَبِیعَبْدِاللَّهِ فِی قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «فِطْرَتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِی فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَیْها» قَالَ: «التَّوْحِیدُ وَ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ عَلِی أَمِیرُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ(
Bihar el Anwar, 3, page 278, Section 11
Zerrareh narrates: “I asked Imam Bagher (A): “May God bless you: What is meant by Word of God in His Book that: “The Divine Soul on which people are innately cast? “The reply was: “God cast them upon Unitarianism as God took their oath about recognition of God. “I enquired: “Did they talk to God?” He bent his head down and replied: “If it was not so then they would not know who their Creator and Sustainer is.”
)عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِی جَعْفَرٍ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ، قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِی كِتَابِهِ «فِطْرَتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِی فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَیْها» قَالَ: «فَطَرَهُمْ عَلَی التَّوْحِیدِ عِنْدَ الْمِیثَاقِ عَلَی مَعْرِفَتِهِ أَنَّهُ رَبُهُمْ.» قُلْتُ: وَ خَاطَبُوهُ؟ قَالَ: فَطَأْطَأَ رَأْسَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «لَوْ لَا ذَلِكَ لَمْ یَعْلَمُوا مَنْ رَبُهُمْ وَ لَا مَنْ رَازِقُهُمْ”(
El-Touhid (by : El-Siddough) 329/53
The Prophet of God (S) has said: “Kempt from beating your children when they cry; since their cries for 4 months is to affirm that no God exists but the One and Only God; and during the next 4 months they are saluting the Prophet (S) and His progeny (A) and the following 4 months they are praying for their parents.”
)قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ «لَا تَضْرِبُوا أَطْفَالَكُمْ عَلَی بُكَائِهِمْ؛ فَإِنَّ بُكَاءَهُمْ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَی النَّبِی وَ آلِهِ وَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ الدُّعَاءُ لِوَالِدَیْه»(
- By brief consideration of above illuminant hadithes, we can attest to 2 key points; One is that God Almighty has founded man’s creation on the soul or spirit of Unitarianism, and secondly, in the previous worlds of Unitarianism God had taken oath on Unitarianism from people.
Bihar el Anwar, Vol. 26, page 294, Section 6
54- Imam Sadigh (A) quotes: “Till the Day of Resurrection God extruded from backbone of man his children being like particles, then identified Himself to them and they verified such recognition. Should this not have happened no one would have recognized Him. Then God asked: “Am I not your God?” They replied: “Yes you are.” God said: “Indeed Muhammad (S) is my worshiper and prophet, and Ali (A) is the Commander of Pious and my ruling body and trustee.”
-54)فر، تفسیر فرات بن إبراهیم ابْنُ الْقَاسِمِ مُعَنْعَناً عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَی وَ إِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَنِی آدَمَ إِلَی آخِرِ الْآیَةِ قَالَ أَخْرَجَ اللَّهُ مِنْ ظَهْرِ آدَمَ ذُرِّیَّتَهُ إِلَی یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَةِ فَخَرَجُوا كَالذَّرِّ فَعَرَّفَهُمْ نَفْسَهُ وَ أَرَاهُمْ نَفْسَهُ وَ لَوْ لَا ذَلِكَ لَمْ یَعْرِفْ أَحَدٌ رَبَّهُ قَالَ أَ لَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ قالُوا بَلی قَالَ فَإِنَّ مُحَمَّداً ص عَبْدِی وَ رَسُولِی وَ إِنَّ عَلِیّاً أَمِیرَ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ خَلِیفَتِی وَ أَمِینِی.(
Thus the world is called the World of Particles (Thar) and the oath is called the Oath of Alast (Oath of Allegiance).
This all means that all people are theists and our recognition of God is so natural in us that in fact it is an attribute within us that God Almighty has provided and is not a conceptual knowledge but a discernment and intrinsic entity in us. Thus, in this world we cannot possibly describe God (this is an under covert insight). We are incapable to describe Him because He is beyond our intellect and understanding. As such, God Almighty is outside of our insight and our insight is realized in our discernment and seeking God; a sort of seeking that is set out for us by God and only God.
