قَالُوا سُبْحَانَكَ لَا عِلْمَ لَنَا إِلَّا مَا عَلَّمْتَنَا ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَلِيمُ الْحَكِيمُ
2:32 The angels have their limitations. They confess that they cannot reflect on Allâh’s Attributes in the way human beings are capable of doing. They can reflect only such of Allâh’s Attributes as He in His eternal wisdom had given them the power. Angels glorify and sanctify the Great Reality with Names taught to them and have no knowledge of the comprehensiveness of the Divine Attributes taught to the perfect human being (- insân-i-kâmil) who is the recipient of Divine Revelation, nor they are capable to sanctify Him with the sanctification human being is capable of.
