56:76	And that is indeed a mighty adjuration if ye but knew,-
	Wa-innahu laqasamun law taAAlamoona AAatheemun
56:77	That this is indeed a qur'an Most Honourable,
	Innahu laqur-anun kareemun
56:78	In Book well-guarded,
	Fee kitabin maknoonin
56:79	Which none shall touch but those who are clean:

56:80	A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.
	Tanzeelun min rabbi alAAalameena
56:81	Is it such a Message that ye would hold in light esteem?
	Afabihatha alhadeethi antummudhinoona
56:82	And have ye made it your livelihood that ye should declare it false?
	WatajAAaloona rizqakum annakum tukaththiboona
56:83	Then why do ye not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throat,-
	Falawla itha balaghati alhulqooma
56:84	And ye the while (sit) looking on,-
	Waantum heena-ithin tanthuroona
56:85	But We are nearer to him than ye, and yet see not,-

56:86	Then why do ye not,- If you are exempt from (future) account,-
	Falawla in kuntum ghayra madeeneena
56:87	Call back the soul, if ye are true (in the claim of independence)?
	TarjiAAoonaha in kuntum sadiqeena
