Commentary
The event of Adam’s (Peace be upon Him)
Caliphate is being narrated continuously. When Allah 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, God Almighty said, “I
had already told you that I know about 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 Allah Almighty is containing the entire things, He bestows dignity
and responsibility to everyone according to one’s ability and qualification.
