أَشِحَّةً عَلَيۡكُمۡۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ ٱلۡخَوۡفُ رَأَيۡتَهُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَيۡكَ تَدُورُ أَعۡيُنُهُمۡ كَٱلَّذِي يُغۡشَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلۡمَوۡتِۖ فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ ٱلۡخَوۡفُ سَلَقُوكُم بِأَلۡسِنَةٍ حِدَادٍ أَشِحَّةً عَلَى ٱلۡخَيۡرِۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَمۡ يُؤۡمِنُواْ فَأَحۡبَطَ ٱللَّهُ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡۚ وَكَانَ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٗا

19.They are reluctant in helping you. But when the time of fear comes to them, you will see them looking at you. Their eyes are rolling [41] as if death [42] has approached them. Then when the time of fear has passed (43) away, they began to taunt you with a sharp tongue, being greedy of the booty (44). These people have never believed (45), therefore Allah has nullified (46) their works, and this is an easy 47) thing for Allah.

144. And Muhammad is but a Messenger [304]. There have been many other Messengers before him [305]. So if he were to die or be killed, would you turn back on your heels [306]? And whoever turns back on his heels will never harm Allah at all [307], but Allah will reward the grateful [308].

185. Every soul shall taste [421] death, and you will be given your [full] compensation only on the Day of Resurrection [422]. So whoever is drawn away from the Fire and is admitted to Paradise has indeed achieved success. And the life of this world is nothing but the enjoyment of delusion [423].

42.Allah takes away the souls (of human beings) at the time (105) of their death and also those who do not die while they are in their sleep (106).

Ayah 106

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ شَهَٰدَةُ بَيۡنِكُمۡ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ حِينَ ٱلۡوَصِيَّةِ ٱثۡنَانِ ذَوَا عَدۡلٖ مِّنكُمۡ أَوۡ ءَاخَرَانِ مِنۡ غَيۡرِكُمۡ إِنۡ أَنتُمۡ ضَرَبۡتُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَأَصَٰبَتۡكُم مُّصِيبَةُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِۚ تَحۡبِسُونَهُمَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ فَيُقۡسِمَانِ بِٱللَّهِ إِنِ ٱرۡتَبۡتُمۡ لَا نَشۡتَرِي بِهِۦ ثَمَنٗا وَلَوۡ كَانَ ذَا قُرۡبَىٰ وَلَا نَكۡتُمُ شَهَٰدَةَ ٱللَّهِ إِنَّآ إِذٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡأٓثِمِينَ

106. O you who believe! [283] Witness between yourselves when death approaches any of you at the time of making a will. Let there be two just men from among you or two others from outside if you are traveling in the land and the calamity of death befalls you. Detain them both after the prayer (286) so they may swear by Allah if there is any doubt (287), that they will not exchange it for a price, even if it be a near relative, and will not conceal the testimony of Allah. If they do so, they are surely among the wrongdoers.

لَّقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ثَالِثُ ثَلَٰثَةٖۘ وَمَا مِنۡ إِلَٰهٍ إِلَّآ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞۚ وَإِن لَّمۡ يَنتَهُواْ عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ لَيَمَسَّنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

73. Indeed, those are infidels who say: "Allah is the third of three" [219]. There is no god but the one God. And if they do not cease from what they are saying, those who disbelieve among them will surely be afflicted with a painful punishment [220].

Surah Name : Al-Maidah   Surah Number : 5   Ayat Number: 73

Ayah 3

حُرِّمَتۡ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡمَيۡتَةُ وَٱلدَّمُ وَلَحۡمُ ٱلۡخِنزِيرِ وَمَآ أُهِلَّ لِغَيۡرِ ٱللَّهِ بِهِۦ وَٱلۡمُنۡخَنِقَةُ وَٱلۡمَوۡقُوذَةُ وَٱلۡمُتَرَدِّيَةُ وَٱلنَّطِيحَةُ وَمَآ أَكَلَ ٱلسَّبُعُ إِلَّا مَا ذَكَّيۡتُمۡ وَمَا ذُبِحَ عَلَى ٱلنُّصُبِ وَأَن تَسۡتَقۡسِمُواْ بِٱلۡأَزۡلَٰمِۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ فِسۡقٌۗ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ يَئِسَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن دِينِكُمۡ فَلَا تَخۡشَوۡهُمۡ وَٱخۡشَوۡنِۚ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ أَكۡمَلۡتُ لَكُمۡ دِينَكُمۡ وَأَتۡمَمۡتُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ نِعۡمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ ٱلۡإِسۡلَٰمَ دِينٗاۚ فَمَنِ ٱضۡطُرَّ فِي مَخۡمَصَةٍ غَيۡرَ مُتَجَانِفٖ لِّإِثۡمٖ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ

3. You are forbidden (to eat) the dead [12], and blood, and the flesh of swine [13], and that on which any name other than Allah has been invoked [14] at the time of slaughtering, and that which dies by strangulation, and that which is beaten to death [15], and that killed by falling, and that which is gored, and that which has been partly eaten by a wild animal—except what you (are able to) slaughter properly [16]—and that which is slaughtered at altars [17], and that on which you divide by drawing lots with arrows [18]. All that is an act of sin. Today, the disbelievers have despaired of (harming) your religion [19], so do not fear them, but fear Me. Today, I have perfected your religion for you [20], completed My favor upon you [21], and have chosen Islam as your religion [22]. But whoever is forced by extreme hunger, without intending to sin [23], then indeed, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful [24].

50.Look on the effects of the Mercy of Allah, how He gives life to the earth after its death [113]. No doubt He will give [114] life to the dead. And He has power over everything.
