PART 19

Section 3

[Furqan 25:21] And those who do not expect to meet Us said, �Why were the angels not sent down to us or we been able to see our Lord?� Indeed they thought too highly of themselves and they turned extremely rebellious.

[Furqan 25:22] The day when they will see the angels - that day will not be of any happiness for the guilty - and they will cry, �O God, erect a barrier between us and them!�

[Furqan 25:23] And We turned all the deeds they had performed into scattered floating specks of dust.

[Furqan 25:24] And for the People of the Garden on that day is a better destination and account, and a better place of afternoon rest.

[Furqan 25:25] And the day when the sky will be split asunder with clouds and the angels will be sent down in full.

[Furqan 25:26] The true kingship on that day belongs to the Most Gracious; and that is hard for the disbelievers.

[Furqan 25:27] And the day when the unjust will gnaw his hands, saying, �Alas, if only I had chosen a way along with the (Noble) Messenger (of Allah)!�

[Furqan 25:28] �Woe to me � alas, if only I had not taken that one for a friend.�

[Furqan 25:29] �He indeed led me astray from the advice that had come to me�; and Satan deserts man, leaving him unaided.

[Furqan 25:30] And the Noble Messenger submitted, �O my Lord - indeed my people took this Qur�an as worthy of being abandoned.�

[Furqan 25:31] And this is how We had appointed guilty people as enemies to every Prophet; and Allah is Sufficient, to guide and to aid.

[Furqan 25:32] And the disbelievers say, �Why was the Qur�an not sent down to him all at once?� This is how We sent it in stages, in order to strengthen your heart with it and We read it slowly, in stages.
