Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

When the Soul reaches the Throat at the Time of Death, it cannot be brought back; this proves Reckon

Chapter 56, Page 537, Juz 27

75. So I do swear by the positions of the stars— 76. and this, if only you knew, is indeed a great oath— 77. that this is truly a noble Quran, 78. in a well-preserved Record, 79. touched by none except the purified ˹angels˺. 80. ˹It is˺ a revelation from the Lord of all worlds. 81. How can you then take this message lightly, 82. and repay ˹Allah for˺ your provisions with denial? 83. Why then ˹are you helpless˺ when the soul ˹of a dying person˺ reaches ˹their˺ throat, 84. while you are looking on? 85. And We are nearer to such a person than you, but you cannot see. 86. Now, if you are not subject to Our Will ˹as you claim˺, 87. bring that soul back, if what you say is true. 88. So, if the deceased is one of those brought near ˹to Us˺, 89. then ˹such a person will have˺ serenity, fragrance, and a Garden of Bliss. 90. And if the deceased is one of the people of the right, 91. then ˹they will be told,˺ “Greetings to you from the people of the right.” 92. But if such person is one of the misguided deniers, 93. then their accommodation will be boiling water ˹to drink˺ 94. and burning in Hellfire. 95. Indeed, this is the absolute truth. 96. So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Greatest.
