The nature of life and death in the Quran
After the world is waiting for the people of the world, the life is endless, the world is in the world, the people of the world are ready for the next life.
‘Ruh’ is a great aspiration: The life and death of the living being is the basis of the soul ‘Ruh’ or the soul. In the Holy Qur'an, ‘Ruh‘ is mentioned as the great God's great wonder. An command from Allah. Given your little knowledge, you have given me the slightest knowledge.’ (Surah Bani Israel, Ataat: 85)
Allama Ibn Kasir (RA) said, ‘It is proved by the mentioned A'at that the soul is the will of Allah alone and very few people in the world have little knowledge about it.’ (Tafsir Ibn Kasir)
Life and death are the will of Allah: The limits of life and death are determined by Allah, the Exalted, Irshad said, ‘He gives life and He is the one who causes death. Allah (swt) has no guardian, no helper.’ (Surah Tawbah, A'tah: 116)
Lifetime is determined: The birth and death of man is determined by Allah. Irshad said, ‘I have determined death among you and I am not disabled.’ (Surah: O'Akita, Ata: 60)
In another word, Irshad said, ‘...Surely if the appointed time is fixed by Allah, it will not be delayed. If you knew!’ (Surah Nuh, A'at: 4)
For the trial of life and death: The life and death of man in this world is determined to be tested. Irshad said, ‘Who does the best of you to test death and life for you? He is the Mighty, the Forgiving.’ (Surah Mulk, A't: 2)
Life-death bridge sleep: Sleep is a bridge or between life and death. Irshad said, ‘Allah takes away the life of the living beings - their deaths and those whose death did not come, the souls of whom he decides to die, leave his life for whom he decides to die and return the others for a certain equal...’ (Surah Jumar, Ata: 42).
Death is not the end of life: Death is not the end of life, but there is a long life after that, Irshad said, ‘How do you deny Allah? But you were lifeless, He gave your life. He will give you death again and give life again and in the end you will return to Him.’ (Surah: Baqarah, A'at: 28)
Death thoughts of a believer: Death is inevitable. But a believer will never wish for death. Rasulullah (SAW) said, ‘No one of you will pray for death, do not pray for him before death. Because when he dies, the door of his deeds will be closed. And in this increase, the welfare of the believer will increase.’ (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2682).
Elsewhere the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, ‘None of you should wish for death, for if he is honest, he will increase his good deeds if he is alive. If you are a sinner, then he will repent.’ (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 7235)
The thought of death of the unbelievers: They do not believe in the Hereafter, they cherish death and escape from death. Irshad said, ‘But they will never wish for death because of what their hands sent before. Allah is well aware of the wrongdoers. The death from which you escape, death will surely meet you, then you will be returned to Allah, the Knower of the Invisible and the visible, and you will know what you do.’ (Surah Juma, A'at: 7-8)
Those who are dead by wandering on earth: living life and roaming the earth do not mean living; rather, true life is revealed in human sense, belief and behavior. In the Holy Qur'an, such a senseless person is called dead.
In another word, Allah compares the unbeliever to the dead and says, ‘Whoever was dead whom I later brought back to life and gave light to walk in people, is that the person who is in darkness and does not come out of that place?’ (Surah An'am, A'at: 122)
Those who are alive after death: Just as a group of people are dead even after death, so a group of people are alive even after death. In the Holy Qur'an, it is said, ‘Those who have been killed (martyrs) are dead, do not call them dead, but they are alive. But do not feel it.’ (Surah Baqarah, Atat: 154)
The death of a believer: The main goal of the believer is in the afterlife, so he is ready for the afterlife.
The life and death of a believer is for Allah: A believer lives for the sake of Allah and dies for him. My prayer, my worship, my life and the Lord of my deaths are for Allah (sovereign).‘ (Surah An'am, A'at: 162)
The life of the hereafter will be deathless: The life of the hereafter will be deathless. The people of Paradise will attain an endless life in the midst of infinite happiness. On the other hand, the people of Hell will wish for death to escape punishment. But they will not die.
