The Holy Quran 25:21 — Surah Al-Furqan

Arabic text

۞ وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَآءَنَا لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ أَوْ نَرَىٰ رَبَّنَا ۗ لَقَدِ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَعَتَوْ عُتُوًّا كَبِيرًا

Translation

Those who do not aspire (hope) to meet Us say, "Why are angels not sent to us (as Ambiyaa) or why do we not see our Rabb (before believing in Rasulullaah)?" They are certainly proud of themselves (and therefore refuse to believe) and are extremely rebellious (because of which they make such absurd demands).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The ignorant demands of the disbelievers: that is, those who do not expect that one day they will appear before Us and give account, being entirely unafraid of punishment, babble hostile and insolent words.
