<h2>When the Soul reaches the Throat at the Time of Death, it cannot be brought back; this proves Reckon</h2><p>Allah the Exalted said,</p><div class="arabic uthmani">فَلَوْلاَ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ</div><p>(Then why do you not (intervene) when it reaches), in reference to the soul,</p><div class="arabic uthmani">الْحُلْقُومَ</div><p>(Al-Hulqum), i.e., the throat, at the time of death.
