۞ No! I swear by the positions of the stars – 75 and this is indeed a mighty oath, if only you knew – 76 it is surely a noble Koran 77 inscribed in a well-guarded Book, 78 which none can touch except the purified. 79 (This Quran) is a revelation from the Lord of the Universe. 80 Do you, then, take this discourse in light esteem, 81 do you make it your provision to belie it? 82 Why, but when the soul leaps to the throat of the dying 83 And ye are then looking on. 84 And We are nearer to him than you are, but you cannot see. 85 Then why do you not, if you are exempt from the reckoning and recompense (punishment, etc.) 86 Cause ye it not to return, if ye say sooth? 87 (If a dying soul) is of those near to God, 88 Then is relief, and flowers – and Gardens of peace. 89 And if he was of the companions of the right, 90 he will be welcomed by the words: “Peace to you” from the People on the Right. 91 But if he is one of those who rejected [the truth] and went astray, 92 The welcome will be boiling water 93 And burning in Hell-fire. 94 Verily this! this is the very truth. 95 Therefore glorify the name of your Lord, the Great. 96
