Explanation of the author's statement: And his saying: (Are they not waiting except for Allah to come to them in clouds of shadow and the angels, and the matter is decided?)

The Shaykh : Then he said: .
His saying: Here, the question implies negation, meaning they are not waiting. Whenever you find "except" after a question, the question is for negation. This is a rule: "Whenever 'except' comes after a question, it is for negation". The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: meaning: What are you?
meaning they are not waiting. The meaning of here is they are waiting, because the verb is not transitive with "to." If it were transitive with "to," its meaning would generally be looking with the eyes. But if it is transitive by itself, it means they are waiting. That is, what are these disbelievers waiting for except for Allah to come to them in clouds of shadow, and that is on the Day of Resurrection. And "in" here means "with," so it is for accompaniment, not for location, certainly. Because if it were for location, it would imply that [the clouds] are wider than Allah the Exalted, and it is known that Allah the Exalted is vast and all-knowing. So the meaning of "in clouds" is accompanied by them, just as one says, "So-and-so is among the people," even if he is not in their midst but at their edges, meaning with the people. Yes, so "in clouds" means: with the clouds. For when Allah, (Exalted and Majestic is He), descends to judge between His servants, [there is] white clouds, great shadows, for the coming of Allah, (Blessed and Exalted is He).
And his saying: the clouds. The scholars said: It is the white cloud, as He, the Exalted, said, bestowing a favor upon the Children of Israel: Because the white cloud is generally cold, colder than others, and the white cloud keeps the air bright, unlike the black and red, which cause darkness.
And his saying: the angels, is it in the nominative case or the genitive case? Is it in the nominative? It is coordinated with the Name of Allah, meaning: or the angels come to them. And the angels, as mentioned before, are the plural of "malak." Yes, and "malak" is derived from "al-uluqah," which is the message. Then the hamzah was moved from its place to after the lam, becoming "malak," and then the hamzah was deleted, becoming "malak." This is what the grammarians say, and Allah knows best. Yes, we say the angels are the plural of "malak." And this is very simple, but if we want to justify it and bring up the origin, we say what we mentioned first.
His saying: The angels come when? They come on the Day of Resurrection, because they descend to the earth. The people of the lowest heaven descend, then the second, then the third, then the fourth, and so on up to the seventh, surrounding the people.
And this is a warning of this day that comes in this manner. It is a great scene from the scenes of the Day of Resurrection, by which Allah warns these disbelievers.
