Anam 165

165- HE (ALLAH) ALLAH IS WHO MADE YOU VICEROYS ON EARTH, AND RAISED SOME OF YOU DEGREES ABOVE OTHERS IN ORDER TO TEST YOU REGARDING WHICH HE HAS GIVEN YOU, YOUR LORD IS SWIFT IN RECKONING INDEED, AND HE IS MOST FORGIVING AND  MOST MERCIFUL.

Allah the Highest placed Adam and Eve on Earth and made them and their offspring His viceroys on earth.   The viceroy is the person who represents his Lord or Master and acts on his behalf.  The viceroy is meant to obey his lord and fulfill his will as well as serve him, and this is our mission as Allah’s viceroys on Earth.

Allah the Highest has given mankind gifts of various kinds and levels.  Some of us have more mental strength and some has more mental ability, while others are artistic etc.

Whatever we have been given of wealth, power, ability, and authority are but gifts as well as tests for us in this life.  The test is in what we do with this gift.  Some give the gift its dues in using it to obey Allah and according to His will, while others do not.  Such gift and bounty may come between a person and his maker the bountiful.

Power can be used to uphold justice or to be unjust and wealth can be used to help others and to be charitable or to commit sin.  Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “Life is sweat and green, and Allah puts you in charge there to see what you are going to do; so protect yourselves from what is in this life, and protect your selves from women, for the first temptation Bano Israel had was women”.  (Muslim: Zekr & Termezi;Fetan)

The wise believer should not just be pleased with what he has been given, but should carefully look and see what it is doing to him and what he is doing with it.   Then we should remember that every thing we say or do is recorded and the reckoning will be very swift, yet He is Most Forgiving and Most Merciful.  Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “Should the believer know the punishment, no one will have any hope in Paradise, and should the disbeliever know Allah’s Mercy, no one will despair of going to Paradise.  Allah created Mercy into 100 parts; he gave one part to His creation to have mercy among them and kept 99 parts with him”.  (Muslim & Termezi & Ahmed)

Also Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “Allah created the creation, and he wrote in a sheath he has other the thrown ‘MY MERCY OVERCOMES MY ANGER’.  (Muslim)
