Al-Waqi'ah Verse 88

So, if the deceased is one of those brought near ˹to Us˺,

If that dying person is one of those who will be brought near to Allah,

Then, if he be of those brought nigh the Throne,

If that dying person is one of those who will be brought near to God,

Then if he be of the broughtnigh.

Then, if he is one of the honoured,

Then, if he be of those brought near,

Now, if he (that dying human) is of those near-stationed to God,

So but if he was from the neared/closer.

Then if the dying one is of those having proximity, -

Then if he is one of those Near to Allah,

Then, if he (the dying person) be of the Muqarrabun (those brought near to Allah),

Then if he is one of those drawn nigh (to Allah),

Thus if he is of those brought nigh,

But if he [the dying person] is one of those brought near to God,

But if he is one of those brought near.

Thus if he, the dead person, be of those brought near,
