Ad-Dukhan 44:56
The Smoke · Meccan · Juz 25 · Page 498
None But the First Death
لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا ٱلۡمَوۡتَ إِلَّا ٱلۡمَوۡتَةَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمۡ عَذَابَ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ٥٦
They taste not death therein, save the first death. And He hath saved them from the doom of hell.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
They will not taste death therein except the first death.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, for the mindful there is no death of the barzakh after the first death; and in the Hereafter there is no death at all.
Reflect
Live knowing you die once and then live forever.
