It is more appropriate to send mankind human messengers to talk to their in own language and act as role models for them. Had Allah sent an angel to mankind as a messenger, and he did what they found difficult to copy, they would have argued that the angel could do what they could not.
{Say, “If there had been angels walking on earth peacefully, We would have certainly sent down to them from the heaven an angel as a messenger.”} [174] Surat al-Isrā’: 95.
{And if We had made him an angel, We would have surely made him [appear as] a man, and We would have caused them confusion just as they are confused.} [175] Surat al-An‘ām: 9.
