He it is Who hath placed you as viceroys of the earth and hath exalted some of you in rank above others, that He may try you by (the test of) that which He hath given you. Lo! Thy Lord is swift in prosecution, and Lo! He verily is Forgiving, Merciful. (Al-Inaam 165)

Marvel ye that there should come unto you a Reminder from your Lord by means of a man among you, that he may warn you? Remember how He made you viceroys after Noah's folk, and gave you growth of stature. Remember (all) the bounties of your Lord, that haply ye may be successful. (Al-Aaraf-69)

They said: We suffered hurt before thou camest unto us, and since thou hast come unto us. He said: It may be that your Lord is going to destroy your adversary and make you viceroys in the earth, that He may see how ye behave.(Aaraf-129)

1. Vicegerency (Khilafah):The human being, in the Islamic world-view is
considered a vicegerent (khalifah). This vicegerency is declared before the creation of the first human being: “It is He Who has made you (His) vicegerents, inheritors
of the earth: He has raised you in ranks, some above others: that He may try you in the gifts He has given you: for your Lord is quick in punishment: yet He is indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Qur’an, 6:165)
On the other hand, this vicegerency is subjected to observation: “Then We made you heirs in the land after them, to see how
you would behave!” (Qur’an, 10:14 )

Features of the status Khalafat/Naib/Vicegerent
17
Relationship between Allah and Human
To check how human being behave
Knowledge was given to assist human being
If they follow the Path of Allah, surrender to His Divine
Law, they prepare themselves to be His Servants.
Sovereignty lies with Allah and all Powers are trust
Quran as Supreme Law
Accountable to Allah for the Powers given on Earth
No Absolute Rule, Rule given for limited time span17
Requirements of the statusIn her/his capacity as a vicegerent, the human
being is perceived as the trustee of the earth.She/he is not supposed to cause corruption in
any form on earth (i.e. the environment).Life on earth entails great responsibilities. It is a test with accountability.It is followed by either reward or punishment.
These meanings are mentioned in the Qur’an and the Sunnah
ConclusionTawhid constitutes the ideological foundation of
Islam, Khilafah (vicegerency) provides the operational framework for the Islamic scheme of life
The role and status of vicegerency is conferred upon the human shared by man and woman alike but their roles differ
This lays the foundations of their essential equality as human beings, as vicegerents of Allah on the earth, whatever their different roles in society may be
19
Points, to Ponder Over !There is a declaration of the potentialities
that man has the power to mischief as the angels perceived
The angels cannot be disobedient to Allah, but they question the wisdom of sending Adam to the Earth
Man has the ability to destroy and fightThe wisdom of creating “a vicegerent on
earth” lies in Allah's Knowledge. "I know what ye know not". Therefore, the
angels fell down in obeisance:
20
Cont….Both Satan and Human (First) were given the
power to obey or disobey the Divine Law ?Adam may fall in mistakes out of ignorance
and limited knowledge ?Satan disobeys God's directions out of
arrogance and limited knowledge ?He does not accept to be mistaken and his
role is to prove that he is right ?He challenges the Power of Truth by illusions
?

Equality
Satan caused them both Adam and Eve to deflect therefrom”. Both were held responsible for the act, both repented their transgression and both were forgiven
They entered the world without any stigma of original sin on their soul.
Human nature is pure and good. Man has been created in the best of all forms. [Q
95:4] Man and woman are made from the same
substanceEvery one is born in a state of purity and innocenceSuccess or failure depends entirely on one’s own
beliefs and behavior. [Q 95:5-6; 103:2-3]No one is to be responsible for the shortcomings of
others. [Q 6:195]25
