Allah sent only men as messengers or Also Jinn or angel ?
Salam
Alaikum Brother
I want
to know explaination of this Ayahs :
O you
assembly of jinns and mankind! "Did not there come to you Messengers from
amongst you, reciting unto you My Verses and warning you of the meeting of this
Day of yours?" They will say: "We bear witness against
ourselves." It was the life of this world that deceived them. And they
will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers. (6:130)
Also ,
Allah
chooses Messengers from angels and from men. Verily, Allah is All-Hearer,
All-Seer. (22:75)

Answer:
Messengers from men jinn angels
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Your Question: Allah
sent only men as messengers or Also Jinn or angel ?
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 11 Surah
Hud verse 69:
69 There came Our Messengers (two Angels) to Abraham with glad tidings. They said "Peace!"
He answered "Peace!" and
hastened to entertain them with a roasted calf.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 11 Surah
Hud verse 81:
81 (The two Angels) said "O Lut! We are Messengers from thy
Lord! By no means shall they reach thee! Now travel with thy family
while yet a part of the night remains and let not any of you look back: but thy
wife (will remain behind): to her will happen what happens to the people. Morning is their time appointed: is not the
morning nigh?"
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Anaam
verse 61:
61 He (Allah) is the Irresistible (watching) from above over his
worshippers and He sets guardians over you.
At length when death approaches one of you Our Messengers (Angels)
take his soul and they never fail in their duty.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 7 Aaraaf
verse 37:
37 Who is more
unjust than one who invents a lie against Allah or rejects His Signs? For such their portion appointed must reach
them from the Book (of Decrees); until when Our messengers (Angels of
death) arrive and take their souls they say: "where are the things
that ye used to invoke besides Allah?"
They will reply "they have left us in the lurch" and they will
bear witness against themselves that they had rejected Allah.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 22 Surah
Hajj verses 74-75:
74 No just estimate have they made of Allah: for Allah is He Who is Strong,
and able to carry out His Will.
75 Allah chooses Messengers from amongst Angels and from amongst men: for Allah is He Who Hears and Sees (all things).
There is indeed overwhelming evidence in the Quran that
Allah chooses and appoints His Messengers from amongst men as well as Angels.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah
Anaam verse 130:
130 O ye assembly of Jinns and men! Came there not unto you (both)
Messengers from amongst
you, setting forth unto you of the meeting of
this Day of yours?" They will say:
"We bear witness against ourselves."
It was the life of this world that deceived them. So against themselves will they bear witness
that they rejected Faith
From the terms of address quoted above: ‘O ye assembly of
Jinns and men!’ and from the term: ‘….from amongst you’, it is absolutely
evident that Allah Subhanah has appointed men as His Messengers amongst
mankind, and appointed Jinns as His Messengers amongst the Jinns.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah
Israa verses 94-95:
94 What kept men back from Belief when Guidance came to them was
nothing but this: they said "Has Allah sent a man like us to be (His) Messenger?"
95 Say "If there were settled on earth Angels walking about
in peace and quiet, We should certainly have sent them down from the heavens an
Angel as a Messenger."
Also from the above quoted verse of Surah Israa, it is
evident that Allah Subhanah does not appoint a different species as Messengers
to a particular species! If Angels lived
on the earth, Allah Declares He would have indeed sent an Angel as their
messenger; thus it is the Sunnah or Way of Allah to appoint a man as a
Messenger to mankind, and a Jinn as a Messenger to the Jinn creation.
Thus in light of the guidance of the Glorious Quran, it is
safe to assume that Allah chooses and appoints Angels, Jinns as well as Men as
His Messengers unto whom He Wills and Pleases.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
