The Angels
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[35:39]
He it is who has made you inherit the earth. Hence, he who is bent on denying the truth [of God’s oneness and uniqueness ought to know that] this denial of his will fall back upon him: for their [persistent] denial of this truth does but add to the deniers’ loathsomeness in their Sustainer’s sight and, thus, their denial of this truth does but add to the deniers’ loss.

* v.39 : See note 22 on 2:30. In this instance, God s having made man “inherit the earth” implies the grant to him of the ability to discern between right and wrong as well as between truth and falsehood.
