2:30-33 THE CALIPHATE
2:30 "And when your Lord (Holy Prophet) said to the angels: ‘Indeed,
I am deputing a Caliph on earth.’ They submitted: ‘ Will you
depute him, who will create trouble , and cause bloodshed,
whereas, We glorify you with all the praise and submit to Your
Sacredness.’ Allah (Almighty) replied: “ I, indeed, know which
You do not know.”
2:31 "He (Allah) then taught Adam all the names and brought him
before the angels, and said: ‘ Let Me know the names of all
things, if you are true (in your opinion about Adam).”
2:32 "They Submitted: ‘You are exalted (and glorified). We know
nothing, except that which You taught us. Surely, You are
All-Aware and All-Wise.”
2:33 "He then ordered Adam to inform them about the names of the
things. And when Adam informed the angels about such things,
He said: “ Did not I tell you that , indeed, I know the secrets of
the heavens and earth, and that I also know which you say
openly and which you have been concealing.”
