Allah alone gives life and death: this is the central teaching of these verses, which recall that people were lifeless before He gave them life, that He will cause them to die and then live again, and that to Him they will return. They also mention the life of the martyrs continuing after death, the parable of worldly life and water, from which every living thing was made.
Verses gathered from a topical index of the Quran, in Mushaf order; every verse is quoted in full.
And you will surely find them the most greedy of people for life - [even] more than those who associate others with Allāh. One of them wishes that he could be granted life a thousand years, but it would not remove him in the least from the [coming] punishment that he should be granted life. And Allāh is Seeing of what they do.
