Al-Mu'minun 23:24 — English Translation فقال الملا الذين كفروا من قومه ما هاذا الا بشر مثلكم يريد ان يتفضل عليكم ولو شاء الله لانزل ملايكة ما سمعنا بهاذا في اباينا الاولين ٢٤
فَقَالَ
ٱلۡمَلَؤُاْ
ٱلَّذِينَ
كَفَرُواْ
مِن
قَوۡمِهِۦ
مَا
هَٰذَآ
إِلَّا
بَشَرٞ
مِّثۡلُكُمۡ
يُرِيدُ
أَن
يَتَفَضَّلَ
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
وَلَوۡ
شَآءَ
ٱللَّهُ
لَأَنزَلَ
مَلَٰٓئِكَةٗ
مَّا
سَمِعۡنَا
بِهَٰذَا
فِيٓ
ءَابَآئِنَا
ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
