Vicegerency (Khilafah)
The human being, in the Islamic world-view isconsidered a vicegerent (khalifah). Thisvicegerency is declared before the creation of thefirst human being

Human being as vicegerent
In her/his capacity as a vicegerent, the human being is perceived as thetrustee of the earth. She/he is not supposed to cause corruption in any formon earth (i.e. the environment). Life on earth entails great responsibilities.
It is a test with accountability. It is followed by either reward orpunishment. These meanings are mentioned in the Quran and the Sunnah.

blessings be upon him:
Verily, this world is sweet and appealing, andAllah placed you as vicegerents therein; He willsee what you will do. So, be careful of [what youdo in] this world and [what you do to/with]
women, for the first test of the children of Israelwas in women!" (Muslim, Sahih).

Cont..
It is rather clear, now, that the Islamic world-viewindicates that vicegerency on earth forms a test which
includes how human beings fulfil right and duties forthemselves and eachother along with rest of the creation. Is it going to be based upon divine instructions, not
based upon personal desires and conjectures that might
lead to the destruction of Islamic fabric. If the lattercondition prevails, then vicegerency will be entrusted toa different people or generation.

He compared the western culture with islam and reached a
conclusion that mankinds emancipation and welfare lay in the
adoption of islam as a way of life

Difference between Islam & HinduismQuaid point of view:
Islam &Hinduism are not only two religions but they are
also two different social systems. These two nations arerelated to two different civilizations that base on suchthoughts which are cons to each other. These ideologiesare different to each other.Hindus andMuslims cannotcreate a common nationhood.So Muslims are in need of a
separate homeland where they can spend their livessocially, economically and politically according to theirfaith.
