الله يتوفى الانفس حين موتها والتي لم تمت في منامها فيمسك التي قضى عليها الموت ويرسل الاخرى الى اجل مسمى ان في ذلك لايات لقوم يتفكرون

It is God that takes The souls (of men) at death; And those that die not (He takes) during their sleep: Those on whom He Has passed the decree Of death, He keeps back (From returning to life), But the rest He sends (To their bodies) For a term appointed. Verily in this are Signs For those who reflect.
