(That shadow) neither cool, nor (even) good,

QURAN 56:44

Verily, before that, they indulged in luxury,

QURAN 56:45

And were persisting in great sin (joining partners in worship along with Allah, committing murders and other crimes, etc.)

That will be their entertainment on the Day of Recompense!

QURAN 56:56

We created you, then why do you believe not?

We have decreed death to you all, and We are not unable,

QURAN 56:60

To transfigure you and create you in (forms) that you know not.

QURAN 56:61

QURAN 56:62

Tell Me! The seed that you sow in the ground.

QURAN 56:63

Is it you that make it grow, or are We the Grower?

QURAN 56:64

Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry pieces, and you would be regretful (or left in wonderment).

We have made it a Reminder (for the Hell-fire, in the Hereafter); and an article of use for the travellers (and all the others, in this world).

QURAN 56:73

Then glorify with praises the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.

QURAN 56:74

So I swear by Mawaqi (setting or the mansions, etc.) of the stars (they traverse).

QURAN 56:75

And verily, that is indeed a great oath, if you but know.

QURAN 56:76

That (this) is indeed an honourable recital (the Noble Quran).

QURAN 56:77

In a Book well-guarded (with Allah in the heaven i.e. Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz).

QURAN 56:78

Which (that Book with Allah) none can touch but the purified (i.e. the angels).

QURAN 56:79

A Revelation (this Quran) from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).

QURAN 56:80

Is it such a talk (this Quran) that you (disbelievers) deny?

QURAN 56:81

And instead (of thanking Allah) for the provision He gives you, on the contrary, you deny Him (by disbelief)!

QURAN 56:82

Then why do you not (intervene) when (the soul of a dying person) reaches the throat?

QURAN 56:83

And you at the moment are looking on,

QURAN 56:84

But We (i.e. Our angels who take the soul) are nearer to him than you, but you see not, [Tafsir At-Tabari, Vol. 27, Page 209]

QURAN 56:85

Then why do you not, if you are exempt from the reckoning and recompense (punishment, etc.)

QURAN 56:86

Bring back the soul (to its body), if you are truthful?

QURAN 56:87

Then, if he (the dying person) be of the Muqarrabun (those brought near to Allah),

QURAN 56:88

(There is for him) rest and provision, and a Garden of delights (Paradise).

QURAN 56:89

And if he (the dying person) be of those on the Right Hand,

QURAN 56:90

Then there is safety and peace (from the Punishment of Allah) for (you as you are from) those on the Right Hand.

QURAN 56:91

But if he (the dying person) be of the denying (of the Resurrection), the erring (away from the Right Path of Islamic Monotheism),

QURAN 56:92

Then for him is entertainment with boiling water.

QURAN 56:93

And burning in Hell-fire.

QURAN 56:94

Verily, this! This is an absolute Truth with certainty.

So glorify with praises the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.
