82
#
وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ

فَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلْحُلْقُومَ
Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat
84

وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ
And Our angels are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -
86
#
فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ
Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,
87
#
تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ

And burning in Hellfire
95
