Then if the dying one is of those having proximity, –
Then, if he be of those brought nigh the Throne,
[ALL OF YOU are destined to die.] Now if one happens to be of those who are drawn close unto God,
Then if he be of the broughtnigh.
Then, if he (the dying person) be of the Muqarrabun (those brought near to Allah),
But if he is one of those brought near.
So if he is one of those who are near-stationed (to Allah),
Then, if he be of the Muqarrabin,
Thus if he is of those brought nigh,
Then, if he be of those brought near,
If he is among the near
And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah,
(If a dying soul) is of those near to God,
Then if he is one of those drawn nigh (to Allah),
Faamm<u>a</u> in k<u>a</u>na mina almuqarrabeen<b>a</b>
But if he [the dying person] is one of those brought near to God,
Thus, then, if he be of those Nearest to Allah,
