Answer to the Angels (L-57)

30c. قالَ
إِنّي أَعلَمُ ما لا تَعلَمونَ |

30c. Qaala
’InNiii ‘A’-lamu maa laa ta’-lamuun”. |

30c. He said:
Surely I know that which you know not. |
When Allaah (God) Almighty proclaimed before His Light Beings (Angels) (peace be upon them): I wish to appoint My vicegerent in the earth. The Angels (peace be upon them) established a conception thoughtfully about the Caliph and considered that; which are being created from such different things (clay, water, fire and air), when they will come in the world, essentially they will spread disturbance, unrest and quarrel with one another. They will shed blood of their brothers and rob. It was one side of the life of mankind, which was presented by the Angels (peace be upon them). That is to say; such side which was dark; and in which, only evil was seen.
Before the Angels (peace be upon them), it was a side of that person; who was going to become Caliph. But which qualities were hidden into the human being, they did not know about them, for example; new ideas and inventions, development in different fields of life as his reach from the depth of oceans to the heights of the skies, development in different departments of the science i.e. physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, computers, airplanes, 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. Therefore, they produced one side of the picture according to their guess, and along with it they presented that side, in accord with which, they were going on. In it, corroboration and obedience in every matter and command of Allaah Almighty was included. The Angels furnished this request; not as an objection but respectfully.
Both sides of the life of His Caliph did exist before Allaah Almighty. That is to say; He was Aware of His caliph’s present position as well as about the forthcoming changes into him with the passage of time. He was acquainted that His Caliph will bring changes in the entire world by his knowledge and wisdom.
So, God Almighty answered on
the request of the Angels (Peace be upon them), “I know that which you do not
know”. It aims that you don’t know about how much advisability and philosophy
are hidden in creation of My Viceroy.
