PART 19

[25:21]

And those who look not for a meeting with Us say: Why are angels not sent down unto us and (Why) do we not see our Lord! Assuredly they think too highly of themselves and are scornful with great pride.

[25:22]

On the day when they behold the angels, on that day there will be no good tidings for the guilty; and they will cry: A forbidding ban!

[25:23]

And We shall turn unto the work they did and make it scattered motes.

[25:24]

Those who have earned the Garden on that day will be better in their home and happier in their place of noonday rest;

[25:25]

A day when the heaven with the clouds will be rent asunder and the angels will be sent down, a grand descent.

[25:26]

The Sovereignty on that day will be the True (Sovereignty) belonging to the Beneficent One, and it will be a hard day for disbelievers.

[25:27]

On the day when the wrong-doer gnaweth his hands, he will say: Ah, would that I had chosen a way together with the messenger (of Allah)!

[25:28]

Alas for me! Ah, would that I had never taken such an one for friend!

[25:29]

He verily led me astray from the Reminder after it had reached me. Satan was ever man’s deserter in the hour of need.

[25:30]

And the messenger saith: O my Lord! Lo! mine own folk make this Qur’an of no account.

[25:31]

Even so have We appointed unto every prophet an opponent from among the guilty; but Allah sufficeth for a Guide and Helper.

[25:32]

And those who disbelieve say: Why is the Qur’an not revealed unto him all at once ? (It is revealed) thus that We may strengthen thy heart therewith; and We have arranged it in right order.
