The Holy Quran 15:8 — Surah Al-Hijr

Arabic text

مَا نُنَزِّلُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوٓا۟ إِذًا مُّنظَرِينَ

Translation

(Allaah warns the Kuffaar not to ask for angels to come to earth because) We send the angels only with the decision (the command to punish), and then (when they arrive with Allaah's punishment) they (the Kuffaar) will not be granted respite (for that is the last stage).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
