About the Surah

(So far Allah described His favours to mankind which we can touch or feel i.e. meals, property etc. Now Allah describes His favours to mankind like knowledge, honour etc). And (remember) when Allah said to the angels: “Indeed, I am going to make a viceroy (Khalifa) in the earth.” The angels said: “Will you make one who will spread mischief in it and shed blood while we glorify You with Your praises and sanctify You.” Allah said: “Indeed, I know that which you don’t know.”
