Sura 34
Aya 51
51
وَلَو تَرىٰ إِذ فَزِعوا فَلا فَوتَ وَأُخِذوا مِن مَكانٍ قَريبٍ

Ali Unal

If you could but see when they quake with dread (of death), with no escape, and are seized from a position very near.1
  • This statement expresses, in relation with the previous verse, which says God is All-Near, God’s infinite nearness to human beings. He is nearer to us than our own selves. A living being is seized at the time of death from within its own self.
