faculty of] reason, and made them testify against them selves, saying, ‘Am
I not your Lord?’ They said, ‘Yea, indeed, You are our Lord, we testify’,
to this, and this [taking of] testimony is, lest they should say in both instances, read third person [yaqūlū, ‘they say’] or second person [taqūlū,
‘you say’] on the Day of Resurrection, ‘Truly, of this, Oneness of God, we were unaware’, not knowing it

Allah stated that He brought the descendants of Adam Bani Adam out of Adam’s loins sulbi, and they testified against themselves that Allah is their Lord
and King and that there is no deity worthy of worship except Him. Allah created them on this Fitrah. He sent them His Books and the Messengers to convey His
Messages. Regarding His statements, the way of Allah expressed His intention is indirectly, whenever there is no relationship between structure of sentence and its
function, which the sentence is interrogative and refers to the function of command, instead of question.
As stated previously, the descendants of Adam Bani Adam replied His command by saying “We bear witness you are our Lord, no other God except
You, as the Oneness of God.” The way of Bani Adam expressed His intention is directly, whenever there is relationship between structure of sentence and its
function, which declarative refers to statement. Moreover, regarding the contribution of Cooperative Principle, when Allah
made them testify as to themselves through saying, “Am I not your Lord?” They said, “Yes We bear witness against ourselves.” Both of them said truthfully and
quite cooperatively, there is no too much or less information. Thus, they follow the maxim of quality and quantity.
In the last, Allah gives reason why Bani Adam must testify the Oneness of God. That i
s in order to on the Day of Resurrection, they will not say, “Truly, of this, Oneness of God, we were unaware, not knowing it.” The way of the speaker
implied their intended meaning is directly, whenever there is relationship between structure of sentence and its function, which declarative refers to statement.
