LessonsSending Messengers: Wisdom of Revelation, Miracles and Proofs of ProphethoodQuiz

وقد أرسل الله تعالى رسلاً من البشر إلى البشر
God sent human messengers to human beings.

A human messenger understands the language, social circumstances, difficulties and practices of those he addresses; his conduct is an imitable model. The discussion also considers angels as conveyors of divine commands and the distinction between an angelic message and human prophetic mission.

A messenger to human beings must not be confused with a messenger among angels. The fact that angels transmit divine commands does not remove the significance of human prophets who exemplify revelation in ordinary human life.
