Vicegerency
INTRODUCTION
Man created by Allah S.W.T. with purpose. The purpose that we clearly see is to be the Khalifah (vicegerent). Man are not created only to serve and worship Allah S.W.T. but to take action according to guidance and instruction by Him. Khalifah originated from root word Khalafa, means to succeed or to replace a person due either to his absence, or his incompetence, or his death, or as honour for the successor.
Allah S.W.T. says:
“We have honoured the sons of Adam; provided them with transport on land and sea; given them for sustenance things good and pure; and conferred on them special favours, above a great part of our creation.”
Al-Quran English Translation (Al-Isra’, 17:70)-Yusuf Ali
Allah S.W.T. has planned to execute vicegerency through Adam. Adam a’layhissalam was sent to the earth to establish it. The Muslim Ummah which had the vicegerency on the earth lost it because of so called ignorance, negligence and division. Lack of research and knowledge of modern science and technology has worsened the situation further. The revival of the vicegerency and, hence, the glory of Islam only depend on accepting and progressing in the knowledge of the modern sciences and technologies with a perfect blend of Islamic spirituality. Allah, The Almighty, has best towed human beings with a status and honour, besides all other status, of His vicegerent on earth.
Allah S.W.T. says:
“It is He Who hath made you (His) agents, inheritors of the earth: He hath raised you in ranks, some above others: that He may try you in the gifts He hath given you: for thy Lord is quick in punishment: yet He is indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.”Al-Quran English Translation (Al-An’am, 06:165)-Yusuf Ali)
There are some essentials to be the crown of His vicegerent on Adam and his children. If they abandon it, then the concept the caliphate on earth will be a fiction only. First of all, we have to determine that the lawful right to enjoy the caliphate of earth is of the
