۞ Nay, I swear by the setting of the stars -- 75 and this is indeed a mighty oath, if only you knew – 76 That it is a Recitation honourable. 77 In a Book Hidden. 78 Which none toucheth save the purified, 79 A revelation by the Lord of the worlds. 80 So is this the matter regarding which you laze? 81 You live by calling it a lie. 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, even though you cannot see? 85 Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed, 86 Cause ye it not to return, if ye say sooth? 87 Thus, then, if he be of those Nearest to Allah, 88 there shall be calmness and ease, a Garden of Delight. 89 And if he (the dying person) be of those on the Right Hand, 90 Then (the greeting) "Peace be unto thee" from those on the right hand. 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 burning in Hell-fire. 94 Indeed, this is the certain truth. 95 So glorify the name of your Lord, the Supreme. 96
