Commentary
As, it has been discussed earlier
that “the Angels (peace be upon them) know only, about which; they have been
given knowledge”. They; neither know about those things which they do not need,
and nor can try to know about them.
So, after teaching the names of all
things to Adam (Peace be upon Him), Allah Almighty produced those things before
the Angels (peace be upon them), and commanded them, “If you are true in your
claim that you hymn Mine praise and sanctify Me perfectly then; tell Me the
names of following things”.
The Angels (peace be upon them) are a
sacred creature. They do not have any other work save worship of Allah
Almighty. How could they tell their names? They said, “We have only that
knowledge, which You have taught us. Besides that, we know nothing. Now! These
things, we can say only that there is any philosophy and advantage in producing
them but we don’t know about its philosophy and secrecy, because Your works are
not but full with Your philosophy.
It is obvious from these verses that
due to knowledge, the mankind became superior and higher in rank to the Angels
(peace be upon them). Now if someone from the generation of Adam (peace be upon
Him) is careless from the knowledge; he cannot perform the duty of God’s
Caliph. We observe that those nations, who acquired knowledge, are really on
the path of development.
