Translation of Verse 75-96

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, 1163

79. touched by none except the purified ˹angels˺. 1164

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? 1165

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, 1166 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.


Commentary

1163. See 43:4.

1164. This verse refutes the pagan claim that the Quran was sent down by devils ( see 26:210-212). Based on this verse, many jurists maintain that a Muslim should perform ablutions before reading the Quran.

1165. Some pagans believed that rain was caused by some stars.

1166. lit., fragrant basil. Throughout the Quran, Paradise is described as being pleasant to the eye, the heart, and the ear. This verse emphasizes the scent as well.
