اللَّهُ
يَتَوَفَّى
الْأَنفُسَ
حِينَ
مَوْتِهَا
وَالَّتِي
لَمْ
تَمُتْ
فِي
مَنَامِهَا
فَيُمْسِكُ
الَّتِي
قَضَى
عَلَيْهَا
الْمَوْتَ
وَيُرْسِلُ
الْأُخْرَى
إِلَى
أَجَلٍ
مُّسَمًّى
إِنَّ
فِي
ذَلِكَ
لَآيَاتٍ
لِّقَوْمٍ
يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
allāhu yatawaffā l-ʾanfusa ḥīna mawtihā wa-llatī lam tamut fī manāmihā fa-yumsiku llatī qaḍā ʿalayhā l-mawta wa-yursilu l-ʾukhrā ʾilā ʾajalin musamman ʾinna fī dhālika la-ʾāyātin li-qawmin yatafakkarūna
God will receive their souls when they die. Their souls do not die when they are sleeping. During people's sleep He withholds those souls which He has decreed to die and releases the others for an appointed time. In this there is evidence (of the Truth) for the thoughtful people.
