Mithaq of Alastu (Covenant of Alastu)
The "Covenant of Alastu," or Mithaq of Alastu, is a concept in Islam referring to a primordial agreement made between God and all of humanity, where people testified that God is their Lord. This universal, pre-corporeal covenant is understood to bind believers to God and provide a deep spiritual foundation for their religious lives, as reflected in verses of the Quran like Al-Aʿrāf (7):172.
The Arabic word "mithaq" or "ahd" means a covenant or pact. It comes from the phrase "Alastu bi-Rabbikum?" which means "Am I not your Lord?" in the Quran.
