Primal Covenant and the Critique of the Sunni and Shia Exegetes’ Opinions on the Verse of Covenant (Mithaq)

The verse of Covenant (Mithaq) (A’rāf Chapter, Verse 172) expresses the God’s covenant with his servants and caused various opinions being suggested by the Qur’ān exegetes. For instance, the existence of the primal world taken from traditions (Hadiths), temperament, symbols, human’s dual heavenly creative breath and mundane existence, the world of wisdom and revelation, and so on and so forth have been mentioned by them. After stating such opinions and investigating their weaknesses and strengths, this research will focus on the analysis of traditions pertaining to this verse which apparently enjoy spiritual successive narration. However, after eliding the common points in repetitive methods and traditions from a certain person and by stating the distress in the text of traditions and their weak documentation, not only is the spiritual successive narration of such traditions but also their validity questioned. Then, the researchers discuss Mukhtar’s theory postulating that human’s intuition exists during his lifetime and arguing that given human does not make veil for himself, he will grasp such covenant and intuition.
