Reflection — Ibn Kathir
When the Soul reaches the Throat at the Time of Death, it cannot be brought back; this proves Reckon
Allah the Exalted said,
فَلَوْلاَ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ
Reflection — Maarif ul Quran
In the current verse the word is used in the sense of hypocrisy and rejection of Allah's verses carelessly.
لَوْلَا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْحُلْقُومَ ﴿83﴾ وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنظُرُونَ ﴿84﴾ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ ﴿85﴾ فَلَوْلَا إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ ﴿86﴾ تَرْجِعُونَهَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ ﴿87﴾
