Abstract
Some commentators have referred to verse 172 of Surah Al-Araf for the existence of the universe. But some consider the meaning of the words and the appearance of the verse to be against this claim. The current research is descriptive-analytical with the aim of finding the correct translation and in accordance with the contextual evidence to find an answer to the question that what is the most appropriate translation Based on this, by putting the apparent meaning of the words of the verse as the principle, he explained the coherence and connection of the verses of Surah A'raf and came to the conclusion that the main focus of this surah is a call to obey the Holy Quran and a warning to those who oppose this call, and for this purpose, He states the consequences of denying the call of truth from Hazrat Adam to the last prophet and reaches a conclusion in verse 172 and says: (We created the children of Hazrat Adam generation after generation and made them witnesses We decided on our own: Am I not your God? And they said yes, we testify. This confession is for the sake of not saying on the Day of Judgment that we were ignorant of it). This translation does not refer to the subterranean world, nor to the natural call; Rather, it is an intellectual confession that was formed based on the observations of the verses and visions of the divine prophets.
