25:21And those who do not expect the meeting with Us say, "Why were not angels sent down to us, or [why] do we [not] see our Lord?" They have certainly become arrogant within themselves1 and [become] insolent with great insolence.

25:22The day they see the angels1 - no good tidings will there be that day for the criminals, and [the angels] will say, "Prevented and inaccessible."2

25:23And We will approach [i.e., regard]1 what they have done of deeds and make them as dust dispersed.

25:24The companions of Paradise, that Day, are [in] a better settlement and better resting place.

25:25And [mention] the Day when the heaven will split open with [emerging] clouds,1 and the angels will be sent down in successive descent.

25:26True sovereignty, that Day, is for the Most Merciful. And it will be upon the disbelievers a difficult Day.

25:27And the Day the wrongdoer will bite on his hands [in regret] he will say, "Oh, I wish I had taken with the Messenger a way.1

25:28Oh, woe to me! I wish I had not taken that one1 as a friend.

25:29He led me away from the remembrance1 after it had come to me. And ever is Satan, to man, a deserter."2

25:30And the Messenger has said, "O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this Qur’ān as [a thing] abandoned."1

25:31And thus have We made for every prophet an enemy from among the criminals. But sufficient is your Lord as a guide and a helper.

25:32And those who disbelieve say, "Why was the Qur’ān not revealed to him all at once?" Thus [it is] that We may strengthen thereby your heart. And We have spaced it distinctly.1
