And indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor.674
[674] Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) remains after all creation has passed away.
Verse 23 of Surah Al-Hijr (15:23), a Meccan surah, is in juz 14, on page 263 of the mushaf. Read it in Arabic with its transliteration, translations and tafsir, and listen to it recited by 74 reciters.
80 recitations by 74 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
I revive the dead by creating them out of nothing and resurrecting them after death. And I cause the living to die when their time comes. I am the One Who will remain and inherit the earth and whatever is upon it.
Indeed, it is We Who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritors [of all things].
And certainly We! We it is Who give life, and cause death,4 and We are the Inheritors.
[4] (V.15:23) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "When a person is dead, his deeds cease (are stopped) except three:
a) Deeds of continuous Sadaqah (act of charity), e.g. an orphan home or a well for giving water to drink.
b) (Written) knowledge with which mankind gets benefit.
c) A righteous, pious son (or daughter) who begs Allâh to forgive his (or her) parents."
(Sahih Muslim, The Book of Wasâyâ (Wills and Testaments).
Lo! and it is We, even We, Who quicken and give death, and We are the Inheritor.
And verily, it is We Who give life, and Who give death: it is We Who remain inheritors (after all else passes away).
And most surely We bring to life and cause to die and We are the heirs.
And surely We, Ever We, indeed give life and make to die, and We are the inheritors.
