And 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 themselves and [become] insolent with great insolence.
Tafsir
Verse range: 25:21
The Stubbornness of the Disbelievers Allah tells:
وقال الذين ﻻ يرجون
And those who expect not a meeting with Us said: Allah describes how stubborn the disbelievers were in their disbelief when they said:
لقاءنا لوﻻ أنزل علينا
Why are not the angels sent down to us, meaning, `so that we may see them with our own eyes and they may tell us that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.' This is like when they said:
أو تٲتى بالله والمليكة قبيﻼ
or you bring Allah and the angels before (us) face to face. (17:92) Hence they also said:
المﻼيكة أو نرى
or why do we not see our Lord, Allah said:
ربنا لقد استكبروا في أنفسهم وعتو عتوا كبيرا
Indeed they think too highly of themselves, and are scornful with great pride. And Allah says:
ولو أننا نزلنا إليهم المليكة وكلمهم الموتى
And even if We had sent down unto them angels, and the dead had spoken unto them... (6:111)
يوم يرون المﻼيكة ﻻ بشرى يوميذ للمجرمين ويقولون حجرا محجورا
