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 الاٍّمُورُ

(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:

عَـلِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلاَ يُظْهِرُ عَلَى غَيْبِهِ أَحَداً

("The All-Knower of the Ghayb (Unseen), and He reveals to none His Ghayb.")72:26 until His saying;

وَأَحْصَى كُلَّ شَىْءٍ عَدَداً

(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.

يَـأَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَآ 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.

Tafsir Saʿdi

English translation, public domain

Посланники из числа ангелов и людей являются самыми благородными представителями своего рода. Они обладают всеми славными качествами и действительно заслуживают быть избранными. Посланниками становятся только самые лучшие из творений, потому что они не являются избранниками того, кто не осведомлен об истинной сути вещей или осведомлен об этом только частично. Их избирает и превозносит Слышащий и Видящий Аллах, Который объемлет Своим слухом и зрением все сущее. Он избирает их Своими посланниками на основании божественного знания, и Ему прекрасно известно, что именно они достойны называться Божьими посланниками и достойны внимать Его откровению. Всевышний сказал: «Аллах лучше знает, кому доверить Свое послание» (6:124).

Mufti Shafi Usmani, English

مَا قَدَرُ‌وا اللَّـهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِ‌هِ (They did not recognize Allah in His true esteem - 22:74). It means that these people are so foolish and ungrateful that they did not recognize the power of Allah Ta’ ala and place their helpless idols at the same level with Him.
