المؤمنون — Al-Mu'minun Ayat 24
فَقَالَ الْمَلَؤُا الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ قَوْمِهٖ مَا هٰذَآ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْۙ يُرِيْدُ اَنْ يَّتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْۗ وَلَوْ شَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ لَاَنْزَلَ مَلٰۤىِٕكَةً ۖمَّا سَمِعْنَا بِهٰذَا فِيْٓ اٰبَاۤىِٕنَا الْاَوَّلِيْنَ ۚ
Fa qālal-mala'ul-lażīna kafarū min qaumihī mā hāżā illā basyarum miṡlukum, yurīdu ay yatafaḍḍala ‘alaikum, wa lau syā'allāhu la'anzala malā'ikah(tan), mā sami‘nā bihāżā fī ābā'inal-awwalīn(a).
