Tafheem ul Quran

Surah 25 Al-Furqan, Ayat 22-23

يَوۡمَ يَرَوۡنَ الۡمَلٰٓـئِكَةَ لَا بُشۡرٰى يَوۡمَـئِذٍ لِّـلۡمُجۡرِمِيۡنَ وَ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ حِجۡرًا مَّحۡجُوۡرًا‏ ﴿25:22﴾ وَقَدِمۡنَاۤ اِلٰى مَا عَمِلُوۡا مِنۡ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلۡنٰهُ هَبَآءً مَّنۡثُوۡرًا‏  ﴿25:23﴾

(25:22) On that Day - the Day when they will behold angels - there will be no good news for those immersed in evil,36 and they will cry out: "We seek refuge (in Allah)." (25:23) And We shall turn to their deeds and shall reduce them to scattered dust.37
