(நபியே!) உமக்கு முன்னரும் மானிடர்களையே அன்றி (வேறெவரையும்) நம்முடைய தூதர்களாக நாம் அனுப்பவில்லை அவர்களுக்கே நாம் வஹீ அறிவித்தோம். எனவே "(இதனை) நீங்கள் அறியாதவர்களாக இருந்தால் (நினைவுபடுத்தும்) வேதங்களுடையோரிடம் கேட்டுத் (தெரிந்து) கொள்ளுங்கள்" (என்று நபியே! அவர்களிடம் கூறும்).

නුඹට පෙර අපි දූතයින් ලෙස පිරිමින්ව ම මිස එව්වේ නැත. අපි ඔවුනට දේව පණිවිඩ ලබා දුනිමු. එහෙයින් නුඹලා නොදැන සිටින්නේ නම් දැනුම ඇත්තන්ගෙන් නුඹලා විමසනු.

Tafsir of 21:7

There were no angels among them. This is like the Ayat: وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلاَّ رِجَالاً نُّوحِى إِلَيْهِمْ مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْقُرَى (And We sent not before you any but men unto whom We revealed, from among the people of townships) 12:109 قُلْ مَا كُنتُ بِدْعاً مِّنَ الرُّسُلِ (Say: "I am not a new thing among the Messengers...) 46:9 Allah tells us that the previous nations denied that and said: أَبَشَرٌ يَهْدُونَنَا ("Shall mere men guide us") 64:6. So Allah says here: فَاسْأَلُواْ أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِن كُنْتُم لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ (So ask the people of the Reminder if you do not know.) meaning, ask the people of knowledge among the nations such as the Jews and Christians and other groups: `were the Messengers who came to you human beings or angels' Indeed they were human beings.…
