Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned.
اردو — مودودی
ہر جاندار کو مَوت کا مزہ چکھنا ہے، اور ہم اچھے اور بُرے حالات میں ڈال کر تم سب کی آزمائش کر رہے ہیں آخرکار تمہیں ہماری ہی طرف پلٹنا ہے
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Tiap-tiap yang berjiwa akan merasakan mati. Kami akan menguji kamu dengan keburukan dan kebaikan sebagai cobaan (yang sebenar-benarnya). Dan hanya kepada Kamilah kamu dikembalikan.
Ibn Kathir
No One has been granted Immortality in this World
وَمَا جَعَلْنَا لِبَشَرٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ
(And We granted not to any human being immortality before you;) means, O Muhammad.
الْخُلْدَ
(immortality) means, in this world. On the contrary,
كُلُّ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا فَانٍ - وَيَبْقَى وَجْهُ رَبِّكَ ذُو الْجَلْـلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ
(Whatsoever is on it (the earth) will perish. And the Face of your Lord full of majesty and honor will remain forever.) 55:26-27.
أَفَإِيْن مِّتَّ
(then if you die) means, O Muhammad,
فَهُمُ الْخَـلِدُونَ
(would they live forever) means, they hope that they will live forever after you, but that will not happen; everything will pass away. So Allah says:
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَآئِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ
(Everyone is going to taste death,)
وَنَبْلُوكُم بِالشَّرِّ وَالْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً
(and We shall test you with evil and with good by way of trial. ) Meaning, "We shall test you, sometimes with difficulties and sometimes with ease, to see who will give thanks and who will be ungrateful, who will have patience and who will despair." `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn `Abbas:
وَنَبْلُوكُم
(and We shall test you) means, We will test you,
بِالشَّرِّ وَالْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً
(with evil and with good by way of trial.) means, with difficulties and with times of prosperity, with health and sickness, with richness and poverty, with lawful and unlawful, obedience and sin, with guidance and misguidance.
وَإِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ
(And to Us you will be returned.) means, and We will requite you according to your deeds.
المُيَسَّر
كل نفس ذائقة الموت لا محالة مهما عُمِّرت في الدنيا. وما وجودها في الحياة إلا ابتلاء بالتكاليف أمرًا ونهيًا، وبتقلب الأحوال خيرًا وشرًا، ثم المآل والمرجع بعد ذلك إلى الله - وحده - للحساب والجزاء.
