Al-Mu'minun 23:24 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

But the disbelieving chiefs of his people said ˹to the masses˺, “This is only a human like you, who wants to be superior to you. Had Allah willed, He could have easily sent down angels ˹instead˺. We have never heard of this in ˹the history of˺ our forefathers.

Chapter 23, Page 343, Juz 18

23. Indeed, We sent Noah to his people. He declared, “O my people! Worship Allah ˹alone˺. You have no god other than Him. Will you not then fear ˹Him˺?” 24. But the disbelieving chiefs of his people said ˹to the masses˺, “This is only a human like you, who wants to be superior to you. Had Allah willed, He could have easily sent down angels ˹instead˺. We have never heard of this in ˹the history of˺ our forefathers. 25. He is simply insane, so bear with him for a while.” 26. Noah prayed, “My Lord! Help me, because they have denied ˹me˺.” 27. So We inspired him: “Build the Ark under Our ˹watchful˺ Eyes and directions. Then when Our command comes and the oven bursts ˹with water˺, take on board a pair from every species along with your family—except those against whom the decree ˹to drown˺ has already been passed. And do not plead with Me for those who have done wrong, for they will surely be drowned.” 28. Then when you and those with you have settled in the Ark, say, “All praise is for Allah, Who saved us from the wrongdoing people.” 29. And pray, “My Lord! Allow me a blessed landing, for You are the best accommodator.” 30. Surely in this are lessons. And We ˹always˺ put ˹people˺ to the test.
