Reflection — Ibn Kathir
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
Reflection — Maarif ul Quran
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.
