The Beginning of Human Life
The First Human by Allah’s Command
In the vast expanse of the heavens, before time as we know it began, Allah — the All-Knowing, the Most Merciful — decided to create a new creation upon the earth. A creation with reason, will, and a soul: a khalifah (vicegerent) to live, learn, and carry the trust of free will.

Khalifah Mean?

In Arabic, khalifah means "successor," "representative," or "steward." When Allah said He would place a khalifah on Earth (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:30), He was referring to Adam (AS) — and by extension, all of humanity.
What does it mean for us?
Being a khalifah means:
We are caretakers of the Earth — responsible for protecting nature, justice, and the balance of life.
We are entrusted with free will — to choose between right and wrong, guided by revelation.
We represent moral responsibility — living by Allah’s guidance and spreading goodness.
We don’t own the world — but we are entrusted to use its resources wisely and ethically.
