Verses 96-97Verses 94-95

      One of the factors that may hinder some people from believing, is the conformity of the kind. They say:ِ ``How such a great and high rank of being the Messenger of God, which is becoming to an Archangel; may be given to a Mortal Man like me and you!?''``Nothing prevented the people to believe, when the guidance of God came to them, except that they said; has indeed Allah elected a Messenger for Himself from among men?''

      This question has always been raised up throughout the history of Man. The people of Noah did shout out; ``He is nothing except a Mortal Man like ourselves.'' The people of Hud, as well as the people of Mohammad (AS), said also to their prophets:ِ ``What sort of a Messenger of God is this man who eats and drinks, and walks in the markets? If you obey a man who is like yourself you will join the group of losers!''

      In answer to such a futile objection, and unreasoned suggestion, Allah said:ِ

      ``Had there been angels in the earth, walking in surety, we would certainly send down on them an angels from the heavens as Messenger.''

      Mutual understanding between the leader and the leaded is a very important factor that must be considered. When there is no conformity, harmony, and congruity between the parties, there won't be co-operation and success. Therefore, if even a population of angels inhabited this earth, only an angel from the earth or from the heaven could be sent down to guide as an apostle, so that they could mutually understand each other; and communicate with the language of their kind.

      But now that the earth is inhabited by mankind, there must be sent a Man Messenger from the presence of our Lord for the said reasons, in order to carry an effective mission among men.
