About this verse
In context
Read the whole surahفَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلْحُلْقُومَ
Then why, when it [i.e., the soul at death] reaches the throat
وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍۢ تَنظُرُونَ
And you are at that time looking on -
وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ
And We [i.e., Our angels] are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -
فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ
Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,
تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ
Bring it back, if you should be truthful?
