Tawḥīd as a Mercy from Allah and Fitrah

I. Qur’ān Verses on Tawḥīd as a Mercy and Fitrah

1. Fitrah – Innate Tawḥīd

فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًاۚ فِطْرَتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَاۚ لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ اللَّهِۚ ذَٰلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

« So set your face toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to] the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah. That is the correct religion, but most people do not know » (Souratear-Rûm 30:30)

2. The Covenant Before Birth

وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِن بَنِي آدَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْۖ قَالُوا بَلَىٰ شَهِدْنَاۛ أَن تَقُولُوا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هَٰذَا غَافِلِينَ

« “And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam — from their loins — their descendants and made them testify of themselves, [saying to them], ‘Am I not your Lord?’ They said, ‘Yes, we testify.’ [This] – lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection, ‘Indeed, we were of this unaware.’ » (Surah al-Aʿrāf7:172)
