Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat  

فَلَوْلَا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْحُلْقُومَ  

And you are at that time looking on -  

وَأَنْتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنْظُرُونَ  

And Our angels are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -  

وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْكُمْ وَلَٰكِنْ لَا تُبْصِرُونَ  

Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,  

فَلَوْلَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ  

Bring it back, if you should be truthful?  

تَرْجِعُونَهَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ  

And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah,  

فَأَمَّا إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ  

Then ˹for him is˺ rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.  

فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ  

And if he was of the companions of the right,  

وَأَمَّا إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ  

Then ˹the angels will say˺, "Peace for you; ˹you are˺ from the companions of the right."  

فَسَلَامٌ لَكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ  

But if he was of the deniers ˹who were˺ astray,  

وَأَمَّا إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ الضَّالِّينَ  

Then ˹for him is˺ accommodation of scalding water  

فَنُزُلٌ مِنْ حَمِيمٍ  

And burning in Hellfire  

وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ  

Indeed, this is the true certainty,  

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ الْيَقِينِ  

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.  

فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ
