So today with when Allah says when nazi ati harka when na shi tati na shtaa wa sabihati sabha fa sab iqati sabqa fel mudabbirati amra these five ayat are one passage

0:20.2

And these this let me briefly translate for you and I will purposely make my translation confusing or

0:27.4

Or ambiguous so you appreciate what the complication is

0:31.5

Allah says I swear by those that pull as they drown they pull as they drown nazi ati harka when na shi tati na shtaa and I swear by those that release

0:43.8

completely

0:44.8

It's like it's like pulling wool or like a piece of wool out of thorns like it tears as it pulls out

2:14.4

So that's that excruciating experience of the body the soul being pulled out of the body as opposed to when nashtati nashtha nashtha
