Is it you who have brought it down from the clouds, or are We the One who sends (it) down?

If We so will, We can make it bitter in taste. So why do you not offer gratitude?

Now tell Me about the fire you kindle:

Is it you who have originated its tree, or are We the Originator?

We have made it a reminder (of Our infinite power, and of the fire of Hell) and a benefit for travelers in deserts.

So, proclaim purity of the name of your Lord, the Magnificent.

So, I swear by the setting places of the stars,

-and indeed it is a great oath, if you are to appreciate-

it is surely the Noble Qur’ān,

(recorded already) in a protected book (i.e. the Preserved Tablet)

that is not touched except by the purified ones (the angels).

- a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

Is it this discourse that you take lightly,

and take your denial as your livelihood?

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

and you are watching?

And We are closer to him than you, but you do not perceive.

So, if you are not going to be recompensed (in the Hereafter for your deeds), then why do you not

bring the soul back, if you are truthful?

So, in case he (the dying person) is from among those blessed with nearness,

then (for him) there is comfort and fragrance and garden of bliss.

And in case he is from among the People of the Right,

then, (it will be said to him,) “Peace is for you, as you are one of the People of the Right.”

But if he is one of the deniers, the astray,

then (for him) there is entertainment from boiling water,

and burning in the Hell.

Indeed this is certainty in its true sense.

So, proclaim purity of the name of your Lord, the Magnificent.
