Explanatory Note

The surah now puts forward a challenge that ends all argument: "Why if you think you are not to be judged, can you not restore that [ebbing life], if what you claim is true?" (Verses 86-87) If it is true that there will be no reckoning of deeds and no requital for them and you are free, with no accounting to make, then try, if you can, to restore this soul that has come up to the throat and put it back in place. Try, if you can, to prevent its march towards that reckoning while you helplessly look on.

Thus all excuses, arguments and disputes end. This truth is felt to be so weighty that no man can stand up to it, except through stubborn and baseless denial.
