And as your Nurturing Lord took from the backs of the children of Adam their offspring and made them witness upon themselves? “Am I not your Nurturing Lord?!” They responded: “But of course we testified”. That you (plural) claim on the day of the resurrection we were not paying attention to that.
This is an important Aya because it informs us of a meeting of our souls when they were created with our nurturing Lord where we had this encounter and testimony. Then it reminds us that we should always pay attention to that memory that is deep in our subconsciousness. So, this kinds of informs us that deep in our subconsciousness there is a calling for God that we should pay attention and not suppress because we will have to answer to it on the day of the resurrection. This is what Muslims call Fitra or the innate belief and longing for God deep inside all of us.
