Surah Az-Zumar Ayah 42

Az-Zumar · Ayah 42 · Juz 24 · Page 463

ٱللَّهُ يَتَوَفَّى ٱلۡأَنفُسَ حِينَ مَوۡتِهَا وَٱلَّتِي لَمۡ تَمُتۡ فِي مَنَامِهَاۖ فَيُمۡسِكُ ٱلَّتِي قَضَىٰ عَلَيۡهَا ٱلۡمَوۡتَ وَيُرۡسِلُ ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٖ مُّسَمًّىۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ٤٢

Allāhu yatawaffal-anfusa ḥīna mawtihā wal-latī lam tamut fī manāmihā, fayumsikul-latī qaḍā ʿalayhal-mawta wa yursilul-ukhrā ilā ajalim musammā, inna fī dhālika laʾāyātil liqawmiy yatafakkarūn.

Allāh takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that do not die [He takes] during their sleep. Then He keeps those for which He has decreed death and releases the others for a specified term. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.
