Question:
Is it correct to say that man is the deputy of Allah on earth?
Answer:
No, one does not say that he is the deputy of Allah. Allah has no deputy; He has no deputy, Glorified and Exalted is He. Rather, man is the deputy of man, the deputy of the rulers who came before him. As for Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, He has no deputy. Allah is the deputy over His creation, Glorified and Exalted is He. So no one acts on behalf of Allah, and no one succeeds Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, on earth. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
