The Difference Between the Minor and Major Death

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: It is correct that death is of two types, major and major. If that is the case, then the major death is sleep, and if that is the case

Answer:
The minor death is sleep,
And it is He who takes your souls by night and knows what you have committed by day. Then He revivesوَهُوَ الَّذِي يَتَوَفَّاكُم بِاللَّيْلِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا جَرَحْتُم بِالنَّهَارِ ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُكُمْ
[Al-An'am 6:60]
by it, meaning you wake up from sleep; this is a resurrection. When you get up from sleep, this is a resurrection, and this is the minor death. The major death is the soul separating from the body at the hands of the angels; death is this major death. Yes.
