“Nothing prevented people from believing when guidance came to them except their saying, ‘Has Allah sent a human being as a messenger?’ Say, ‘Had there been angels on earth, walking about in peace and security, We would surely have sent down to them an angel from heaven as a messenger.’ Say, ‘Allah is sufficient as a witness between me and you. Indeed, He is fully aware of His servants and sees them all.’” (94–96)
﴿وَمَا مَنَعَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا إِذْ جَاءَهُمُ الْهُدَى إِلَّا أَنْ قَالُوا أَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ بَشَرًا رَسُولًا (٩٤) قُلْ لَوْ كَانَ فِي الْأَرْضِ مَلَائِكَةٌ يَمْشُونَ مُطْمَئِنِّينَ لَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَلَكًا رَسُولًا (٩٥) قُلْ كَفَى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيدًا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِ خَبِيرًا بَصِيرًا (٩٦) ﴾
