Is the World of Dharr Real?

The reality of the World of Pre-Existence is affirmed by the plain wording of verse 172 of Sūrat al-Aʿrāf and by the hadiths transmitted on the subject.

الأعراف : 172 و إذ أخذ ربک من بنی‏ آدم من ظهورهم ذریتهم و أشهدهم على‏ أنفسهم أ لست بربکم قالوا بلى‏ شهدنا أن تقولوا یوم القیامه إنا کنا عن هذا غافلین

“And remember when your Lord brought forth their descendants from the loins of the children of Adam and made them bear witness against themselves, saying, ‘Am I not your Lord?’ They said, ‘Yes indeed; we bear witness’—lest on the Day of Resurrection you should say, ‘We were unaware of this’ (and had forgotten the innate covenant of divine unity).”
