وَمَا
كَانَ
لِبَشَرٍ
أَن
يُكَلِّمَهُ
اللَّهُ
إِلَّا
وَحْيًا
أَوْ
مِن
وَرَاءِ
حِجَابٍ
أَوْ
يُرْسِلَ
رَسُولًا
فَيُوحِيَ
بِإِذْنِهِ
مَا
يَشَاءُ
إِنَّهُ
عَلِيٌّ
حَكِيمٌ

To no mortal does God speak but through revelation, from behind a curtain, or by sending a Messenger who reveals, by His permission whatever He pleases. He is the Most High and the All-wise.
