Commentary
And if We wished, certainly We could have made from you, O men, angels who would succeed you on the earth, just as your children succeed you. Just as We brought forth Jesus from a female without a male, so that you may know Our distinction with the astonishing power, and so that you may understand that angels are bodies that do not come into being except from bodies, and the Eternal Being is exalted above that.
