وَاِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلٰۗىِٕكَۃِ اِنِّىْ جَاعِلٌ فِى الْاَرْضِ خَلِيْفَۃً۰ۭ قَالُوْۗا اَتَجْعَلُ فِيْہَا مَنْ يُّفْسِدُ فِيْہَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَاۗءَ۰ۚ وَنَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ وَنُقَدِّسُ لَكَ۰ۭ قَالَ اِنِّىْۗ اَعْلَمُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ۳۰

Remember, when your Lord said to the angels: "I have to place a trustee on the earth," they said: "Will You place one there who would create disorder and shed blood, while we intone Your litanies and sanctify Your name?" And God said: "I know what you do not know."
