The seal of that prophetic vicegerency is found in Muhammad's Quranic revelations that speak not only to personal ethics but also to the God-given political, social, and economic structures that are to be imposed upon society for its well-being. Al-Nursi suggests that the Qur'anic verse, And He taught Adam the names, all of them (115) indicates that the greatest miracle upon which the supreme vicegerency of mankind revolves is the gift of true knowledge that can be gained by means of the grace of the Names. The Qur'anic doctrine of vicegerency (khilafah) also places on Man, as a trustee and custodian of the earth, the responsibility to build the earth and utilize its resources with a sense of justice to oneself, one's fellow humans, the environment and other inhabitants of the earth. |
