﴿ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَٰكُمْ خَلَٰٓئِفَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ لِنَنظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴾

“And thereupon We made you their successors on earth, so that We might behold how you act.”

(Then We appointed you) O Community of Muhammad (pbuh) (vicegerents) successors (in the earth after them) after their destruction, (that We might see how ye behave) what you will do of goodness.
