When Allah says in the Quran that he is "making a Khalifah in the earth" he's speaking of Adam and of the Sacred Life/Human Life and the Destiny all at once.  From Imam Mohammed we understand that Khalifah is the destiny of Adam: the Sacred Life/Human Life.  Imam Mohammed said, "Khalifah that's the concept, the grand concept for man. And the Khalifah, the concept of Khalifah is one who realizes his life that's planned by G'd for him, his given life by being put into natural situations or circumstances on earth. Elaborating on this grand concept Adam/Sacred Life/Human Life in this world, the Imam says, " So G'd says He's putting a Khalifah in the earth.  G'd is saying that He is making human beings to be ruled by their own nature that He has made; (for man) to be responsible in His creation, in the world that He made. So He made us with a nature to be responsible in our own souls alone to ourselves, but also in the world where we're exposed to all the wonders and all the things that tempt as well as guide us."
