Those who do not expect to encounter Us say, ‘Why have angels not been sent down to us, or why do we not see our Lord?’ Certainly, they are full of arrogance within their souls and have become terribly defiant.

يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَ الْمَلٰٓئِكَةَ لَا بُشْرٰى يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُجْرِمِيْنَ وَ يَقُوْلُوْنَ حِجْرًا مَّحْجُوْرًا‏(22)

The day they will see the angels, there will be no good news for the guilty on that day, and they will say, ‘Keep off [from paradise]!’

وَقَدِمْنَاۤ اِلٰى مَا عَمِلُوْا مِنْ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلْنٰهُ هَبَآءً مَّنْثُوْرًا‏(23)

On that day the inhabitants of paradise will be in the best abode and an excellent resting place.

The day when the sky with its clouds will be split open, and the angels will be sent down [in a majestic] descent,

on that day true sovereignty will belong to the All-beneficent, and it will be a hard day for the faithless.

It will be a day when the wrongdoer will bite his hands, saying, ‘I wish I had followed the Apostle’s way!

Certainly he led me astray from the Reminder after it had come to me, and Satan is a deserter of man.’

That is how for every prophet We assigned an enemy from among the guilty, and your Lord suffices as helper and guide.

The faithless say, ‘Why has not the Quran been sent down to him all at once?’ So it was, that We may strengthen your heart with it, and We have recited it [to you] in a measured tone.

Those who will be mustered [fallen] on their faces toward hell, they are the worse situated and further astray from the [right] way.

Certainly We gave Moses the Book and We made Aaron, his brother, accompany him as a minister.

And Noah’s people, We drowned them when they impugned the apostles, and We made them a sign for mankind, and We have prepared for the wrongdoers a painful punishment.

Certainly they must have passed the town on which an evil shower was rained. Have they not seen it? Rather, they did not expect resurrection [to happen].
