Koran 25:21 — soera Al-Furqan, vers 21

۞وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَرۡجُونَ لِقَآءَنَا لَوۡلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ أَوۡ نَرَىٰ رَبَّنَاۗ لَقَدِ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ وَعَتَوۡ عُتُوّٗا كَبِيرٗا

En degenen die geen ontmoeting met Ons wensen (verwachten) zeggen: “Waarom zijn er geen engelen voor ons naar beneden gestuurd, of waarom kunnen wij onze Heer niet zien?” Voorwaar zij achten zichzelf te hoog en zijn schandalig met grote trots.

And those who do not expect the meeting with Us say, "Why were not angels sent down to us, or [why] do we [not] see our Lord?" They have certainly become arrogant within themselves and [become] insolent with great insolence
