Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
We have not appointed the guards of
hell, except angels; and did not keep this number except to test the disbelievers
- in order that the People given the Book(s) may be convinced, and to increase
the faith of the believers - and so that the People given the Book(s) and
the Muslims may not have any doubt - and so that those in whose hearts
is a disease and the disbelievers, may say, “What does Allah mean by this
amazing example?” This is how Allah sends astray whomever He wills, and
guides whomever He wills; and no one knows the armies of Allah except Him;
and this is not but an advice to man.
