We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(56:60) It is We Who ordained death upon you *25 and We are not to be frustrated.
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*25) That is, "Like yow birth yow death too, is under Our control. We decide as to who is to die in the mother's womb itself, who is to dic soon after birth, and who is to die at a later stage. No power in the world can cause death to a person before the time appointed for his death by Us, nor can keep him alive after it even for a moment. The dying ones dic in big hospitals even before the eyes of eminent doctors; and the doctors themselves also die at their appointed time. Never bas anyone been able to know the time of death in advance, nor has anyone been able to avert the approaching death, nor to find out as to how and where and by what means will a certain person dic."
