Who can be a divine Caliph?

SHAFAQNA – A human being must educate inner self to a level that all the divine characteristics and holy names are manifested from it. In this way, the human being becomes a manifestation of God and divine characteristics. If a soul is able to manifest actively all the divine characteristics in a such short period of lifetime on the earth, as described in Ayah 138 of Surah Al-Baqarah:  “God’s design, who is better than God for a design?” and when one is totally in service of God as mentioned in Ayah 79 of Surah Al-e-Imran:” It is not proper that God gives the Book and discretion and the prophethood to any human being.”

After all the stages explained above, a human being can be appointed by God as a divine Caliph in ways  explained in Ayahs 30 and 31 of Surah Al-baqarah: “So when your God told the angels: I am appointing a Caliph on earth, they said: Will You place someone who will corrupt and bloodshed, while we praise and worship You? God said: I know something you do not know.” God taught Adam all the names of everything; then presented them to the angels and said: Tell them the names of these if you are so truthful.”
