Abstract :
Being the caliph of God is a position that God announced for Adam (PBUH) and his descendants before the creation; how to grant this position and Adam's position in the creation, the goals of the creation and how to live a person's life are all hidden in the head of the caliphate of the person. It is worth mentioning that different books and articles have been devoted to the issue of human caliphate, most of them have only dealt with the Quranic approach or about the concepts, examples, and principle of the issue of caliphate and human dignity. In this article, the concept of caliphate from everyone's point of view and the explanation of this meaning in the position of Adam (pbuh), the role of the divine spirit, knowledge and divine trust in this explanation, how to reach this stage and its evidence, and the reasons for the right to the divine caliphate of Hazrat Adam have been examined.
