Lesson
Yasfi-kud-dimaaa – (yasfi-ku means to shed, to flow, to cause and ad-dimaaa came out
from ‘dam’ which means blood).
Nusabbihu – We hymn means we sing songs of praise
to You (God). Consider with heart that God is the most Superior
Nu-qaddisu – We sanctify (derived from sanctity). Deem
that the God Almighty is sacred and higher from all the bad traits and
attributes of His creature.
When the Angels
(peace be upon them) listened the announcement from the God, “Innii jaa-ilun fil-‘arzi KHALIIF-AH”(Lo! I am about
to place a viceroy in the earth), they said, “Wilt thou place therein one who
will do harm therein and will shed blood, while we, we hymn Thy praise and
sanctity Thee”. Aim of this conversation is that the human being will murder
his other brothers and sisters, there is a danger of quarrels between this
creature on the earth, due to the quarrels the world will become home of
destruction and ruin because He will follow his wishes, he will not become
obedient completely of you.
The Angels (peace be upon them) requested, “O Lord! If You mean to
create Your Caliph so that You be praised in each side, all creatures sing songs of praise to You and obey to
You then we are present for Your this
service, we are ready every time to listen your orders and act upon Your
advice. “We hymn Thy praise and sanctity Thee”. So what is the need of creating
a creature on the earth?
They also requested that Your Nature is sacred and pure, Your each work
is right but we can not understand that out of the creature of the earth, how
can be a creature which obey You, praise You, hymn and sanctify You like us.
The God Almighty replied them, “Surely I know that which ye know not”.
The above mentioned narration is one dark side of the picture because
the Angels (peace be upon them) considered the human being will shed the blood
of his brothers, will plunder, will quarrel and ruin. They saw in it only the
evil and badness.
But about the other bright side of this picture, “Creation of the
Caliph, the human being” they did not know. Hidden qualities in the mankind
were new ideas and inventions, development in different fields of life as his
reach from the depth of oceans to heights of the skies, development in the
different departments of the science for example physics, chemistry, biology,
mathematics, computers, aero planes, vehicles, construction technology,
petrochemical, ships, his journey towards different planets, electromechanical,
agricultural, industrial field, his control over the clouds and rains, his
control over the birth, vegetation etc, they did not know about all of this. Due
to their ignorance from the hidden qualities of human being they knew only one
side. The Angels request was not to criticize the God but they requested
politely because they did not know that this mankind will disclose the secrets
and powers of the God.
The God knew both sides of the life of His caliph. He was aware of His
caliph’s present position and also about the coming changes ahead with the
passage of time. He was acquainted that His Caliph will bring changes in the
entire world with his knowledge and wisdom.
So The God Almighty replied on the request of Angels (Peace be upon
them), “I know and you do not know”. Its aim is that you don’t know about how
much advisability and philosophy are hidden in creation of My caliph.
