۞ No! I swear by the positions of the stars – 75 and this is indeed a mighty oath, if only you knew – 76 This is indeed the noble Qur’an. 77 In a book that is protected 78 Which none shall touch but those who are clean: 79 A revelation by the Lord of the worlds. 80 What, do you hold this discourse in disdain, 81 And you make its denial your share? 82 Why, then, when (the soul) cometh up to the throat (of the dying) 83 And you at the moment are looking on, 84 – at that moment when We are closer to him than you, although you do not see (Us) 85 Then why is it not-- if you are not held under authority-- 86 Bring back the soul (to its body), if you are truthful? 87 But if he [the dying person] is one of those brought near to God, 88 then for him there shall be comfort and plenty and a Garden of Bliss; 89 And if he (the dying person) be of those on the Right Hand, 90 (For him is the salutation), "Peace be unto thee", from the Companions of the Right Hand. 91 But if he is of the rejecters, the erring, 92 Then his reception is the hot boiling water. 93 And burning in Hell-Fire. 94 Verily, this! This is an absolute Truth with certainty. 95 Extol, then, the limitless glory of thy Sustainer's mighty name! 96
