75 Preface اللَّهُ يَصطَفي مِنَ المَلائِكَةِ رُسُلًا وَمِنَ النّاسِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَميعٌ بَصيرٌYusuf AliGod chooses Messengers1 from angels and from men for God is He Who hears and sees (all things).2Men are chosen as Messengers to ordinary men; for ordinary men will riot be able to understand and be in communion with beings so refined as angels. But angels are sent as Messengers to God’s chosen prophets, to convey the Message from time to time. In either case they are chosen by God, are subject to God’s Will, and should not be worshipped as gods.As God regards the humblest of His creatures and hears their prayer, He sends men messengers out of their own brethren (see last note), and to such messengers He communicates the highest spiritual Truths through His angels.
