Reply #2: The only person I know of who talked directly to God

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

was Moses (unless you count Adam before he and Eve lef the Garden), and Moses didn't look at God. Usually, angels are the messengers-including the angel who wrestled with Jacob, who thereafter was called Israel; and Jibreel (Gabriel) who brought the Qur'an to the Beloved Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.

Anyone who feels they have been directed by God usually does what they are asked to do without judgement of others and without much fanfare.
