The Story of man in the Quran by Sheikh Mohammed El-Minshawy 

This is amazing footage capturing “The story of man”, as depicted in the Quran, recited by Sheikh Mohammed El-Minshawy. Sheikh El-Minshawy was an Egyptian Quran reciter who became a household name after rising to fame through his unique and compelling voice.
The verse captured in the video is found in Surah Al-Baqarah: “And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, “Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority.” They said, “Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?” Allah said, “Indeed, I know that which you do not know.” Quran 2:30
In the interpretation of this verse, the Quranic exegesis Ibn Kathir states that the Angels knew that this type of creature usually commits the atrocities they mentioned. Or, the angels understood this fact from the word Khalifah, which also means the person who judges disputes that occur between people, forbidding them from injustice and sin, as Al-Qurtubi said.

The statement the angels uttered was not a form of disputing with Allah’s, nor out of envy for the Children of Adam, as some mistakenly thought. This is only a question for the sake of learning about the wisdom of that, as if they said, Our Lord! What is the wisdom of creating such creatures since they will cause trouble in the earth and spill blood “If the wisdom behind this action is that You be worshipped, we praise and glorify You (meaning we pray to You) we never indulge in mischief, so why to create other creatures” Allah said to the angels in answer to their inquiry, “I know that which you do not know”, meaning, “I know that the benefit of creating this type of creature outweighs the harm that you mentioned, that which you have no knowledge of. I will create among them Prophets and send Messengers. I will also create among them truthfully, martyrs, righteous believers, worshippers, the modest, the pious, the scholars who implement their knowledge, humble people and those who love Allah and follow His Messengers.”
