Lesson
The
Caliphate’s event of the Adam (Peace be upon Him) is being narrated
continuously. When Allah Almighty declared the caliphate of the Adam before Angels
(Peace be upon Them) at first they requested, “Wilt thou place therein one who will do harm therein and will shed
blood, while we, we hymn Thy praise and sanctity Thee?” He said: “Surely I know
that which ye know not.”
God Almighty kept trial of knowledge before them to
prove the claim of Adam. The Adam (peace be upon Him) was bestowed by the
knowledge of things according to His natural ability and purity. The Angels
were not able to know about the names and characteristics of the things. When
the questions were asked from the both, the Angels accepted their ignorance but
the Adam told the names of all the things and proved His superiority.
At this stage God Almighty said, “I had already
told you that I know about outward appearance and inward qualities of every
thing. I am well-informed about the secrets of the earth and heavens. The
doubts about the Adam you disclosed, I know them and I also know about that
which were not disclosed openly by you.” As though the knowledge of God is containing
all the things, He bestows rank and responsibility to each one according to
one’s ability and qualification.
