The Arabic word 'zurriyyat', (descendant) used in the verse, is used

18 more times in the Qur'an. The meaning of this word in all the
verses it is used in is 'mankind' or 'human generation' as all the Is-
LOVE IN THE GOSPEL to the descendants of Adam - the line of the Prophet Adam (pbuh)-
lamic scholars unanimously agree. In this verse, there is a reference

meaning all human beings that have lived and will live on Earth. That
is because, had that been a promise taken only from the person of the
Prophet Adam (pbuh), the verse would have read 'When your Lord
made Adam testify." As the verse states 1#;B@C5>8<C ><9C?>>+C>8?
