Islam, Quran , , , , , , , ,
Why then ˹are you helpless˺ when the soul ˹of a dying person˺ reaches ˹their˺ throat, while you are looking on? And We are nearer to such a person than you, but you cannot see. Now, if you are not subject to Our Will ˹as you claim˺, bring that soul back, if what you say is true. Quran 56:83~87 [Surah al-Waqi`ah (The Inevitable, That Which is Coming)]
This Surah takes its name from the first Ayat, إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ “When the Occurrence occurs,” (56:1).
There are 96 Ayat in this Surah.

فَلَوۡلَاۤ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلۡحُلۡقُومَ وَأَنتُمۡ حِینَىِٕذࣲ تَنظُرُونَ وَنَحۡنُ أَقۡرَبُ إِلَیۡهِ مِنكُمۡ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تُبۡصِرُونَ فَلَوۡلَاۤ إِن كُنتُمۡ غَیۡرَ مَدِینِینَ تَرۡجِعُونَهَاۤ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِینَ
The Surah talks about the resurrection that will definitely take place. It is a fact undeniable. The human beings then will be in three different groups. The faithful are of two types: those who are the pioneers and are foremost in their faith and struggle in the path of Allah. They are a large number from amongst the earlier community and a small from among the later generations. Then the rest of the people are believers and those who oppose the faith. Allah’s rewards are for the faithful and his anger and chastisement is waiting for the opponents of faith.
The Surah then invites human beings to think about themselves and the things that they use daily and consider who created all these things. It talks about the Qur’an and its profound and consistent message and then finally reminds about death and the coming end of every being.
تو جب مرنے والے کی جان حلق تک پہنچ چکی ہوتی ہے اور تم آنکھوں سے دیکھ رہے ہوتے ہو کہ وہ مر رہا ہے، اُس وقت تمہاری بہ نسبت ہم اُس کے زیادہ قریب ہوتے ہیں مگر تم کو نظر نہیں آتے اب اگر تم کسی کے محکوم نہیں ہو اور اپنے اِس خیال میں سچے ہو، اُس وقت اُس کی نکلتی ہوئی جان کو واپس کیوں نہیں لے آتے؟
