of Allah to the exclusion of other people, then invoke death If you are truthful.

hands have sent before, and Allah is Aware of evil-doers.

sent before; and Allah is Cognizant of the unjust.

will surely meet you, and afterward ye will be returned unto the Knower of the Invisible
and the Visible, and He will tell you what ye used to do.

will inform you of that which you did.
