Surah Al-Hajj · سُوْرَةُ الْحَجِّ · Juz 17
Q 22:75
ٱللَّهُ يَصْطَفِى مِنَ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ رُسُلًا وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌۢ بَصِيرٌ
Translations
Allah chooses from the angels messengers and from the people. Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Seeing.Allah choisit des messagers parmi les Anges et parmi les hommes. Allah est Audient et Clairvoyant.Tafsir
Allah, may He be glorified, selects messengers from the Angels and the people also. He sends some of the Angels to the prophets, like Gabriel, who He sent to the human messengers; and He also sends human messengers to common people. Indeed, Allah hears what the idolaters say regarding His messengers and is insightful of who He selects to convey His message.
Read Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abridged, English))
Allah chooses Messengers from angels and from men. Verily, Allah is All-Hearer, All-Seer (75)He knows what is before them, and what is behind them. And to Allah return all matters (76)
Allah chooses Messengers from the Angels and Messengers from Mankind
Allah tells us that He chooses Messengers from His angels as He wills by His law and decree, and He chooses Messengers from mankind to convey His Message.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ بَصِيرٌ
(Verily, Allah is All-Hearer, All-Seer.) means, He hears all that His servants say, and He sees them and knows who among them is deserving of that, as He says:
اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ حَيْثُ يَجْعَلُ رِسَالَتَهُ
(Allah knows best with whom to place His Message)(6:124)
يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۗ وَإِلَى اللَّهِ تُرْجَعُ الْأُمُورُ
(He knows what is before them, and what is behind them. And to Allah return all matters.) He knows what will happen to His Messengers and the Message He sent them with, for none of their affairs are hidden from Him. He says:
عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَىٰ غَيْبِهِ أَحَدًا
("The All-Knower of the Ghayb (Unseen), and He reveals to none His Ghayb.")(72:26) until His saying;
وَأَحْصَىٰ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَدَدًا
(and He keeps count of all things.)(72:28) So He, may He be glorified, is guarding them, and is Witness to what is said about them. He is protecting them and supporting them.
يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ ۖ وَإِن لَّمْ تَفْعَلْ فَمَا بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالَتَهُ ۚ وَاللَّهُ يَعْصِمُكَ مِنَ النَّاسِ
(O Messenger! Proclaim which has been sent down to you from your Lord. And if you do not, then you have not conveyed His Message. Allah will protect you from mankind)(5:67).
