Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Al-Furqan 25:21

Word by word

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

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 Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

يقول تعالى مخبرا عن تعنت الكفار في كفرهم ، وعنادهم في قولهم : ( لولا أنزل علينا الملائكة ) أي : بالرسالة كما نزل على الأنبياء ، كما أخبر عنهم تعالى في الآية الأخرى : ( قالوا لن نؤمن حتى نؤتى مثل ما أوتي رسل الله ) [ الأنعام : 124 ] ، ويحتمل أن يكون مرادهم هاهنا : ( لولا أنزل علينا الملائكة ) فنراهم عيانا ، فيخبرونا أن محمدا رسول الله ، كقولهم : ( أو تأتي بالله والملائكة قبيلا ) [ الإسراء : 92 ] . وقد تقدم تفسيرها في سورة " سبحان " ; ولهذا قال : ( أو نرى ربنا ) ولهذا قال الله تعالى : ( لقد استكبروا في أنفسهم وعتوا عتوا كبيرا ) . وقد قال [ الله ] تعالى : ( ولو أننا نزلنا إليهم الملائكة وكلمهم الموتى وحشرنا عليهم كل شيء قبلا ما كانوا ليؤمنوا إلا أن يشاء الله ولكن أكثرهم يجهلون ) [ الأنعام : 111 ] .
