[104] That is, for delivering messages, Allah selects from among the angels and from among mankind according to His own wisdom and discretion. Among the angels, there is Jibreel or those angels who came as messengers to Zakariya, Maryam, Ibrahim, and Lut (peace be upon them), and among the people, all the prophets and messengers have conveyed Allah’s message to the people. In authentic ahadith, it is mentioned that just as the prophets among people are the most virtuous, likewise, the messenger angels are superior to other angels. In fact, this verse is a response to an objection of the disbelievers; they used to say that if Allah had to send a messenger, He should have chosen a great man from the major towns of Makkah or Ta’if. In reply, Allah said that He knows best who is worthy of messengership among the people, and no one has the right to object in this matter.
