۞ I do not need to swear by the setting of the stars 75 - which is indeed a great oath if only you knew it - 76 That it is a Recitation honourable. 77 [conveyed unto man] in a well-guarded divine writ 78 which none can touch except the purified. 79 a sending down from the Lord of all Being. 80 Would you, now, look down with disdain on a tiding like this, 81 And make it your provision that ye should belie it? 82 Then how is it that when the (dying) breath is withdrawn into the throat (and rattles), 83 the while you are helplessly watching that he is on the verge of death, 84 We are closer to him than you, even though you cannot see? 85 Then why is it not-- if you are not held under authority-- 86 Call back the soul, if ye are true (in the claim of independence)? 87 Then, if he (the dying person) be of the Muqarrabun (those brought near to Allah), 88 there shall be calmness and ease, a Garden of Delight. 89 And if he be of the fellows on the right hand, 90 [he, too, will be welcomed into paradise with the words,] "Peace be unto thee [that art] of those who have attained to righteousness!" 91 But if he be of them that cried lies, and went astray, 92 Then his reception is the hot boiling water. 93 And burning in Hellfire 94 Verily, this is the Very Truth and Certainly. 95 So glorify the name of your Lord, the Great One. 96
