61. We can replace you with others like you, and create you again in ways you don't even know.

62. You already know how We created you the first time. Why won't you think about it?

63. Have you thought about the seeds you plant?

64. Do you make them grow, or do We make them grow?

66. "We're ruined!

67. We've lost everything!"

81. Do you take this message lightly?

82. And do you turn your blessings into saying, "It's not true"?

83. Then why, when someone's soul reaches their throat.

84. And you're standing there watching.

85. And We're closer to that person than you are, but you can't see Us.

86. If you really think you won't be judged.

87. Why don't you bring that soul back, if you're telling the truth?

88. Now, if the person who dies was close to Allah.

89. They'll have comfort, sweet smells, and a garden of happiness.

90. And if the person was one of those who did good things.

91. They'll be greeted with peace by others who did good things.
