On Day 51 of Be Quranic, we delve further into Ayah 30 of Surat al-Baqarah, which marks a transition from enjoyment to responsibility, highlighting humans as Khalifas (stewards) on Earth.
This ayah underscores the balance Islam advocates between enjoying Earth's resources and preserving them responsibly.
It introduces a dialogue between Allah and the angels, where the angels' inquiry about the potential for human corruption and violence opens a discussion on the importance of questioning within Islam.
The distinction between asking to understand and questioning out of defiance is explored, emphasising that sincere, knowledge-seeking questions are encouraged in Islam.
This reinforces the notion of curiosity and inquisitiveness as tools for deepening faith and understanding, provided the questions are sincere and aimed at facilitating understanding or practice of the Deen (religion).
