4- The term 'KHALIFA' suggests that the one appointed is to rule the kingdom of God on behalf of God, i.e., as God wills. 5- A 'KHALIFA' is he who is vested with all the powers and the authority of him whom he represents. Thus the 'KHALIFATULLAH' will be endowed with all the powers and the authority over the Kingdom of God. All creation of the Lord will be under the 'KHALIFATULLAH' and the 'KHALIFATULLAH' being under the absolute submission to the Lord.

6- The holy QUR'AN gives out another factor for our guidance that a 'KHALIF' or the vicegerent of God, is given the store of knowledge necessary for the office, by God Himself. Adam was given knowledge by God Himself and them the angels were asked to give out what was taught to Adam, which they failed to do. "And He (God) taught Adam all the Names, then presented them to the angels; He (God) said (unto the Angels) 'Tell Me ye the names of those if ye be truthful'" [2:31].

"The Angels said that they knew nothing more than what they were taught" [2:32]. It means that what was taught to Adam was not taught to the Angels. 7- As the vicegerency will proceed further, according to the evolutionary progress of the human intellect with which the Vicegerent of the age and of the place will have to deal, so will the Lord, naturally gift His Vicegerent with higher intellect and an increased store of knowledge.

8- When it is the will of the Lord to sent to mankind His Last or the Chief Vicegerent, 33:40, the Vicegerent now sent, will naturally and necessarily be endowed with knowledge in its fullness and such a Vicegerent alone will have the right and courage to say: "I am the City of Knowledge? And only such a Vicegerent will naturally be the nearest one to the Lord 53:9, and His dearest one.

Being the nearest one, he would not speak or act but what the Lord reveals to him and only about such a Deputy of His, the Lord declared: "Nor doth he (The holy ) speaketh of his own inclination. It is naught but a revelation revealed" [53:3-4].

It is a natural and a simple inference that when the first of God's apostles, sent into the world in its primitive state, is called His 'KHALIF' or the Vicegerent, the Last one of His apostles sent to humanity with the maturity of intellect to bear the 'KHALIF' or the Vicegerent of God in the Highest Order of Grade.
