۞ I swear by the fallings of the stars 75 and this is indeed a mighty oath, if only you knew – 76 it is surely a noble Koran 77 in a Book protected (from tampering) 78 None touch it 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 And make it your provision that ye should belie it? 82 Why, then, when the soul leaps up to the throat, 83 And you at that time look on-- 84 We are nearer to him than you, but you do not see 85 So why is it not, that if you are not to be repaid, – 86 That you send it (not) back-- if you are truthful? 87 (If a dying soul) is of those near to God, 88 (There is for him) rest and provision, and a Garden of delights (Paradise). 89 And if one happens to be of those who have attained to righteousness, 90 he will be welcomed by the words: “Peace to you” from the People on the Right. 91 But if he (the dying person) be of the denying (of the Resurrection), the erring (away from the Right Path of Islamic Monotheism), 92 a welcome of burning despair [awaits him in the life to come,] 93 and the heat of a blazing fire! 94 Verily, this is indeed the truth of truths! 95 Then praise your Lord, the most supreme. 96
