Al Mu’minun Ayah 24

فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَؤُاْ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ مَا هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُرِيدُ أَن يَتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَأَنزَلَ مَلَـٰٓئِكَةً مَّا سَمِعْنَا بِهَـٰذَا فِىٓ ءَابَآئِنَا ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ 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.
