Angels in Rows
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلۡمَلَكُ صَفࣰّا صَفࣰّا ٢٢
And thy Lord shall come with angels, rank on rank.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And your Lord comes, with the angels in rows upon rows.
Insight
Elmalılı says it is clear that Allah’s coming is not moving from place to place, and relates that commentators explained it as the coming of His command and judgement.
Reflect
Calmly think about the day you will stand before Allah.
