Those who do not fear to meet Us say, ‘Why are the angels not sent down to us?’ or ‘Why can we not see our Lord?’ They are too proud of themselves and too insolent

Translation 1260

There will be no good news for the guilty on the Day they see the angels. The angels will say, ‘You cannot cross the forbidden barrier,’

Translation 1260

and We shall turn to the deeds they have done and scatter them like dust

Translation 1260

But the companions in the Garden will have a better home on that Day, and a fairer place to rest

Translation 1260

On the Day when the sky and its clouds are split apart and the angels sent down in streams

Translation 1260

on that Day, true authority belongs to the Lord of Mercy. It will be a grievous Day for the disbelievers

Translation 1260

On that Day the evildoer will bite his own hand and say, ‘If only I had taken the same path as the Messenger

Translation 1260

Woe is me! If only I had not taken so and so as a friend

Translation 1260

he led me away from the Revelation after it reached me. Satan has always betrayed mankind.’

Translation 1260

The Messenger has said, ‘Lord, my people treat this Quran as something to be shunned,’

Translation 1260

but We have always appointed adversaries from the wicked, for every prophet: Your Lord is sufficient guide and helper

Translation 1260

The disbelievers also say, ‘Why was the Quran not sent down to him all at once?’ We sent it in this way to strengthen your heart [Prophet]; We gave it to you in gradual revelation

Translation 1260

They cannot put any argument to you without Our bringing you the truth and the best explanation

Translation 1260

It is those driven [falling], on their faces,to Hell who will be in the worst place- they are the furthest from the right path

Translation 1260

We gave Moses the Book and appointed his brother Aaron to help him

Translation 1260

We said, ‘Go, both of you, to the people who have rejected Our signs.’ Later We destroyed those people utterly

Translation 1260

The people of Noah, too: when they rejected their messengers, We drowned them and made them an example to all people. We have prepared a painful torment for the evildoers

Translation 1260

as We did for the people of Ad, Thamud, and al-Rass, and many generations in between

Translation 1260

To each of them We gave warnings, and each of them We destroyed completely

Translation 1260

These disbelievers must have passed by the town that was destroyed by the terrible rain––did they not see it? Yet they do not expect to be raised from the dead

Translation 1260

Whenever they see you [Prophet] they ridicule you: ‘Is this the one God has sent as a messenger

Translation 1260

He might almost have led us astray from our gods if we had not stood so firmly by them.’ When they see the punishment, they will know who is furthest from the path

Translation 1260

Think [Prophet] of the man who has taken his own passion as a god: are you to be his guardian

Translation 1260

Do you think that most of them hear or understand? They are just like cattle- no, they are further from the path

Translation 1260

Do you not see how your Lord lengthens the shade? If He had willed, He could have made it stand still- We made the sun its indicator

Translation 1260
