The Criterion
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[25:21]
But those who do not believe that they are destined to meet Us are wont to say, "Why have no angels been sent down to us?" – or, "Why do we not see our Sustainer?"
Indeed, they are far too proud of themselves, having rebelled [against God’s truth] with utter disdain!

* v.21 : Lit., “who do not hope for [i.e., expect] a meeting with Us”: the implication being that they do not believe in resurrection and, consequently, do not expect to be judged by God in the afterlife.
