21. Surah Al Anbiya
The Quranic text and Ali’s version
كُلُّ
نَفْسٍ
ذَائِقَةُ
الْمَوْتِ...
21:35. Every soul shall have a taste of death:
The soul does not die, but when it separates from the body at the death of the body, the soul gets a taste of death.
In our life of probation on this earth, our virtue and faith are tested by many things: some are tested by calamities, and some by the good things of this life. If we prove our true mettle, we pass our probation with success.
In any case all must return to Allah, and then will our life be appraised at its true value.
