The questioner : Can we say that death was created before life?
The Shaykh : Can we say what?
The questioner : We say that death was created before life.
The Shaykh : Why can we say that?
The questioner : Because it comes first in the verse, and secondly: life was not created except from death, except after death.
The Shaykh : Because the order in the example, and the conjunction "waw" (and) does not imply precedence in rank.
