17:94 What prevented the people from believing when the guidance came to them, is their saying, “Did GOD send a human being as a messenger?”
17:95 Say, “If the earth were inhabited by angels, we would have sent down to them from the sky an angel messenger.”
9:24 Proclaim: “If your parents, your children, your siblings, your spouses, your family, the money you have earned, a business you worry about, and the homes you cherish are more beloved to you than GOD and His messenger,** and the striving in His cause, then just wait until GOD brings His judgment.” GOD does not guide the wicked people.

6:42 We have sent (messengers) to communities before you, and we put them to the test through adversity and hardship, that they may implore.
