Death & Afterlife Quotes
Quran and Hadith quotes about death, the Hereafter, accountability, and preparing for the eternal life.
وَما يَستَوِى الأَحياءُ وَلَا الأَموٰتُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُسمِعُ مَن يَشاءُ ۖ وَما أَنتَ بِمُسمِعٍ مَن فِى القُبورِ٢٢
And not equal are the living and the dead. Indeed, Allah causes to hear whom He wills, but you cannot make hear those in the graves
وَنُفِخَ فِى الصّورِ فَإِذا هُم مِنَ الأَجداثِ إِلىٰ رَبِّهِم يَنسِلونَ٥١
And the Horn will be blown; and at once from the graves to their Lord they will hasten
وَقالَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا أَءِذا كُنّا تُرٰبًا وَءاباؤُنا أَئِنّا لَمُخرَجونَ٦٧
And those who disbelieve say, "When we have become dust as well as our forefathers, will we indeed be brought out [of the graves]
وَجاءَت سَكرَةُ المَوتِ بِالحَقِّ ۖ ذٰلِكَ ما كُنتَ مِنهُ تَحيدُ١٩
And the intoxication of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid
يَومَ يَسمَعونَ الصَّيحَةَ بِالحَقِّ ۚ ذٰلِكَ يَومُ الخُروجِ٤٢
The Day they will hear the blast [of the Horn] in truth. That is the Day of Emergence [from the graves]
إِنّا نَحنُ نُحيۦ وَنُميتُ وَإِلَينَا المَصيرُ٤٣
Indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and to Us is the destination
وَأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَماتَ وَأَحيا٤٤
And that it is He who causes death and gives life
خُشَّعًا أَبصٰرُهُم يَخرُجونَ مِنَ الأَجداثِ كَأَنَّهُم جَرادٌ مُنتَشِرٌ٧
Their eyes humbled, they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading
نَحنُ قَدَّرنا بَينَكُمُ المَوتَ وَما نَحنُ بِمَسبوقينَ٦٠
We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone
فَلَولا إِذا بَلَغَتِ الحُلقومَ٨٣
Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat
