Facts about prophecy and the message

[islamkingdom]

Every messenger was from the nation he was sent to and he spoke the same language as them

Of the wisdoms of Allah the Almighty, is that every messenger sent by Him is of the same kind as those who will receive that message, Allah says: {And We sent not (as our Messengers) before you (O Muhammad [sal-Allâhu ‘alayhi wa sallam]) any but men, whom We sent Revelation, (to preach and invite mankind to believe in the Oneness of Allâh).{ (an-Nahl:43)
Moreover, another wisdom is that the messenger speaks the same language as the people he is sent to, so that they understand his words and their meanings. The Almighty says: {And We sent not a Messenger except with the language of his people, in order that he might make (the Message) clear for them. Then Allâh misleads whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.}(Ibrahîm:4)

yup, Dhul Qarnain appears in the middle of two tracts and they scarcely understand a word, but they manage to get Allah's work done.
reminds me of the dude giving the speech in avatar.

it's still useful to learn languages, apparently Hassan ibn Thaabit learnt Hebrew in 15 days on request of the Prophet pbuh, those dudes used to hide stuff with their hands and he (pbuh also needed someone he trusted to read and write correspondence.
