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.  

وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَاءَنَا لَوْلَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْنَا الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَوْ نَرَىٰ رَبَّنَا ۗ لَقَدِ اسْتَكْبَرُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَعَتَوْا عُتُوًّا كَبِيرًا  

The day they see the angels - no good tidings will there be that day for the criminals, and ˹the angels˺ will say, "Prevented and inaccessible."  

يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَا بُشْرَىٰ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُجْرِمِينَ وَيَقُولُونَ حِجْرًا مَحْجُورًا  

And We will regard what they have done of deeds and make them as dust dispersed.  

وَقَدِمْنَا إِلَىٰ مَا عَمِلُوا مِنْ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ هَبَاءً مَنْثُورًا  

The companions of Paradise, that Day, are ˹in˺ a better settlement and better resting place.  

أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَيْرٌ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَأَحْسَنُ مَقِيلًا
