A Glance at a Criticism; a Critique of the Article Entitled "A Review of Assigning Man as God's Vicegerent according to the Qur an"

Assigning man as God''s vicegerent which is referred to in the thirtieth verse of chapter two (the cow) is among the questions to which thinkers have devoted special attention. The author of the present paper has dealt with this issue in an article entitled «Assigning man as God''s vicegerent according to Qur’an» and reached the conclusion that man is God''s vicegerent. According to him، man has been chosen for this because of his ability to receive divine names intuitively. The author believes that everyone is potentially capable of achieving this aim، although few people have actually achieved it. One of the researchers of Qom seminary has commented on this article، making explicit that the Qur’an has basically not dealt with what is called assigning man as God''s vicegerent. This paper is concerned with this critique.
