۞ Nay, I swear by the setting of the stars -- 75 And verily that is a mighty oath, if ye but knew! 76 That (this) is indeed an honourable recital (the Noble Quran). 77 In a Register well-protected; 78 none but the purified shall touch, 79 A revelation by the Lord of the worlds. 80 Is it this Statement that ye scorn, 81 And you make its denial your share? 82 Why, then, when (the soul) cometh up to the throat (of the dying) 83 the while you are helplessly watching that he is on the verge of death, 84 We are closer to him than you, but you cannot see. 85 Then why do you not, if you are exempt from the reckoning and recompense (punishment, etc.) 86 That you send it (not) back-- if you are truthful? 87 Thus if he is of those brought nigh, 88 Then breath of life, and plenty, and a Garden of delight. 89 And if he is one of those 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 And if he be of the beliers, the erring, 92 then he will be served boiling water, 93 And burning in hell. 94 This is indeed the ultimate truth. 95 Extol, then, the limitless glory of thy Sustainer's mighty name! 96
