Surah 22. Al-Hajj, Ayah 75
| اللَّهُ يَصْطَفِي مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ رُسُلًا وَمِنَ النَّاسِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ بَصِيرٌ |
| Transliteration | : | 'allaah yas.t.afe min al- malaa'ikah rusul(an) wa- min an- naas 'inna 'allaah samec bas.er |
| Pickthall | : | Allah chooseth from the angels messengers, and (also) from mankind. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Seer. |
| Asad | : | [In His almightiness,] God chooses message-bearers from among the angels as well as from among men. But, behold, God [alone] is all-hearing, all-see-ing:90 |
| Malik | : | Allah chooses His messengers from among the angels and from among the human beings, for surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Allah chooses Messengers from angels and from men: for Allah is He Who hears and sees (all things). 2857 2858 |
Note - 90I.e., the prophets and the angels are but created beings
having no share whatever in His omniscience and, hence,
no claim to being worshipped.
|
Note - 2857Men are chosen as Messengers to ordinary men; for
ordinary men will not be able to understand and be in
communion with beings so refined as angels. But angels
are sent as Messengers to Allah's chosen prophets, to
convey the Message from time to time. In either case they
are chosen by Allah, are subject to Allah's Will, and
should not be worshipped as gods.
|
Note - 2858As Allah 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.
