قالَ يا آدَمُ أَنبِئهُم بِأَسمائِهِم ۖ فَلَمّا أَنبَأَهُم بِأَسمائِهِم قالَ
أَلَم أَقُل لَكُم إِنّي أَعلَمُ غَيبَ السَّماواتِوَالأَرضِ وَأَعلَمُ ما
تُبدونَ وَما كُنتُم تَكتُمون 33. |

33. Qaala
“Yaaa-‘Aadamu ‘ambi’-hum- bi-‘asmaaa-‘ihim.” Falammaaa ‘amba-‘ahum-
bi-‘Asmaaa-ihim, qaala ‘alam ‘aqul-lakum
‘iNiii ‘A’-lamu gay-bas-samaawaati wal-‘arz, wa ‘A’-lamu maa
tubdunna wa maa kuntum taktu-muun. |

33. He said: O
Adam! Inform them of their names, and when he had informed them of their
names, He said: Did I not tell you that I know the secret of the heavens and
the earth? And I know that which you disclose and which you hide. |
The event of Adam’s (Peace be upon him) Caliphate is being narrated continuously. When Allaah Almighty proclaimed about the Caliphate of Adam before Angels (Peace be upon them), at first; they requested, “We confess with every breath; of Your Praise, Glory and Holiness, as though, if only Praise is required, then we have been performing this duty”. Then the Angels (Peace be upon them) asserted this fear that the children of Adam (Peace be upon him) will do harm therein and will shed blood.
God Almighty arranged a trial of knowledge before them to prove the merit of Adam. Adam (peace be upon him) was bestowed by the knowledge of the names of all things according to his natural ability and virtue. 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 Adam (Peace be upon him) told the names of all things and proved his superiority.
At such occasion, Allaah
Almighty said, “I had already informed you that I know concerning everything’s
apparent and hidden condition. I am well-informed about the secrets of the earth
and the heavens. The doubts about Adam (Peace be upon him) which you disclosed,
I know them and I also know about that, which was not disclosed clearly by
you.” As though, the knowledge of Allaah Almighty is containing the
entire things, He bestows dignity and responsibility to everyone according to
one’s ability and qualification.
