<strong>The</strong> Quran 78: 39<br />

when the Spirit a and the angels stand in rows, they will not speak<br />

except for those to whom the Lord of Mercy gives permission, who<br />

will say only what is right. 39 That is the Day of Truth. So whoever<br />

wishes to do so should take the path that leads to his Lord. 40 We have<br />

warned you of imminent torment, on the Day when every person<br />

will see what their own hands have sent ahead for them, when the<br />

disbeliever will say, ‘If only I were dust!’ b<br />

a <strong>The</strong> Angel Gabriel<br />

b In this world, they have often said, ‘What, when we are dust, shall we be raised<br />

again?’
