Question:
The one who is able says that death is of two types: the lesser and the greater. If that is the case, then the greater madness is sleep, and if it is.
Answer:
The minor death is sleep,[Al-An'am 6:60] by which you awaken. This is a resurrection; when you rise from sleep, this is a resurrection. This is the minor death. The major death is the soul’s departure from the body at the hands of the angels; this is death, the major death. Yes.
