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
Islamic scholars unanimously agree. In this verse, there is a reference
to the descendants of Adam - the line of the Prophet Adam (pbuh)-
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 ‘When your Lord took out
all their descendants from the loins of the children of Adam’, there is
a reference to all the descendants of the Prophet Adam (pbuh), mean-
ing all mankind.
The Arabic word ‘iz’ (meaning; remember that time, when) refers
to the time when this address was made to the descendants of the
Prophet Adam (pbuh), meaning to all mankind. The word ‘iz’ is a
preposition used while talking about an incident that took place in
the past. It means ‘remember this incident that took place in the past’.
What is meant here is the testimony, the promise all humankind gave
