Death & Afterlife Quotes
Quran and Hadith quotes about death, the Hereafter, accountability, and preparing for the eternal life.
الْجَامِعُ٩
The Gatherer — He will gather all creation on the Day of Judgment
الْبَاقِي٨٨
The Everlasting — Only He remains forever
الْوَارِثُ٢٣
The Inheritor — All creation will perish; He inherits all
The first matter a servant will be called to account for on the Day of Judgment is the prayer. If it is sound, the rest of his deeds will be sound.
يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ ارْجِعِي إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً٢٧
O reassured soul, return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him]. Enter among My servants and enter My Paradise.
وَاعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَكَ الْيَقِينُ٩٩
And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty.
كُلُّ نَفۡسࣲ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِۗ وَنَبۡلُوكُم بِٱلشَّرِّ وَٱلۡخَيۡرِ فِتۡنَةࣰۖ وَإِلَيۡنَا تُرۡجَعُونَ٣٥
Every soul will taste death, and We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned.
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَ أَحَدَهُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ قَالَ رَبِّ ٱرۡجِعُونِ٩٩
Until, when death comes to one of them, he says, 'My Lord, send me back. Perhaps I may do righteousness in that which I left behind.' No, indeed, it is only a word he is saying.
أَفَحَسِبۡتُمۡ أَنَّمَا خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ عَبَثࣰ ا وَأَنَّكُمۡ إِلَيۡنَا لَا تُرۡجَعُونَ١١٥
Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?
يَوۡمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالࣱ وَلَا بَنُونَ٨٨
The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children, except one who comes to Allah with a sound heart.
