Quran and Hadith quotes about death, the Hereafter, accountability, and preparing for the eternal life.
يٰأَيُّهَا النّاسُ إِن كُنتُم فى رَيبٍ مِنَ البَعثِ فَإِنّا خَلَقنٰكُم مِن تُرابٍ ثُمَّ مِن نُطفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِن عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ مِن مُضغَةٍ مُخَلَّقَةٍ وَغَيرِ مُخَلَّقَةٍ لِنُبَيِّنَ لَكُم ۚ وَنُقِرُّ فِى الأَرحامِ ما نَشاءُ إِلىٰ أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى ثُمَّ نُخرِجُكُم طِفلًا ثُمَّ لِتَبلُغوا أَشُدَّكُم ۖ وَمِنكُم مَن يُتَوَفّىٰ وَمِنكُم مَن يُرَدُّ إِلىٰ أَرذَلِ العُمُرِ لِكَيلا يَعلَمَ مِن بَعدِ عِلمٍ شَيـًٔا ۚ وَتَرَى الأَرضَ هامِدَةً فَإِذا أَنزَلنا عَلَيهَا الماءَ اهتَزَّت وَرَبَت وَأَنبَتَت مِن كُلِّ زَوجٍ بَهيجٍ٥
O People, if you should be in doubt about the Resurrection, then [consider that] indeed, We created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot, and then from a lump of flesh, formed and unformed - that We may show you. And We settle in the wombs whom We will for a specified term, then We bring you out as a child, and then [We develop you] that you may reach your [time of] maturity. And among you is he who is taken in [early] death, and among you is he who is returned to the most decrepit [old] age so that he knows, after [once having] knowledge, nothing. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and swells and grows [something] of every beautiful kind
وَأَنَّ السّاعَةَ ءاتِيَةٌ لا رَيبَ فيها وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَبعَثُ مَن فِى القُبورِ٧
And [that they may know] that the Hour is coming - no doubt about it - and that Allah will resurrect those in the graves
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُم يَومَ القِيٰمَةِ تُبعَثونَ١٦
Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, will be resurrected
وَلَقَد أَتَوا عَلَى القَريَةِ الَّتى أُمطِرَت مَطَرَ السَّوءِ ۚ أَفَلَم يَكونوا يَرَونَها ۚ بَل كانوا لا يَرجونَ نُشورًا٤٠
And they have already come upon the town which was showered with a rain of evil. So have they not seen it? But they are not expecting resurrection
ما خَلقُكُم وَلا بَعثُكُم إِلّا كَنَفسٍ وٰحِدَةٍ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَميعٌ بَصيرٌ٢٨
Your creation and your resurrection will not be but as that of a single soul. Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Seeing
وَوُفِّيَت كُلُّ نَفسٍ ما عَمِلَت وَهُوَ أَعلَمُ بِما يَفعَلونَ٧٠
And every soul will be fully compensated [for] what it did; and He is most knowing of what they do
اليَومَ تُجزىٰ كُلُّ نَفسٍ بِما كَسَبَت ۚ لا ظُلمَ اليَومَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَريعُ الحِسابِ١٧
This Day every soul will be recompensed for what it earned. No injustice today! Indeed, Allah is swift in account
وَخَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضَ بِالحَقِّ وَلِتُجزىٰ كُلُّ نَفسٍ بِما كَسَبَت وَهُم لا يُظلَمونَ٢٢
And Allah created the heavens and earth in truth and so that every soul may be recompensed for what it has earned, and they will not be wronged
وَجاءَت كُلُّ نَفسٍ مَعَها سائِقٌ وَشَهيدٌ٢١
And every soul will come, with it a driver and a witness
لَن تَنفَعَكُم أَرحامُكُم وَلا أَولٰدُكُم ۚ يَومَ القِيٰمَةِ يَفصِلُ بَينَكُم ۚ وَاللَّهُ بِما تَعمَلونَ بَصيرٌ٣
Never will your relatives or your children benefit you; the Day of Resurrection He will judge between you. And Allah, of what you do, is Seeing
