Khilafat-Allah112F1 Position of Human and Islamic Pattern for Development

Islamic pattern for development, induced by the divine didactics of Islam, considers both materialist and spiritual aspects of human life. Henceforth, anthropological understanding of that pattern is highly important. By raising Khilafat-Allah-oriented didactic of human, Quran has drawn the origin, destination and developmental pathway of human life, and explained the reason of competency of human for the divine government and its results; winning the other creatures and applying them in actualizing human capabilities is an instance of them. This issue has such a high importance that can give special meaning to divine pattern for development. In this approach, human as the deputy of God on earth should implement all physical and spiritual divine blessings and in return, feel responsible for misusing them. Thus, human as Khilafat-Allah means that he is competent and responsible at the same time, and it emphasizes the necessity of advancement and sublimity in all materialist, spiritual, individual and social aspects of human life.
