Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner : May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: What are the two deaths and the two lives in this verse

They will say, "Our Lord, You made us lifeless twice and gave us life twice, and we have confessed our sins. So is there to an exit any way?"

قالوا ربنا أمتنا اثنتين وأحييتنا اثنتين فاعترفنا بذنوبنا فهل إلى خروج من سبيل

[Ghafir 40:11]

?

The Shaykh : The explanation of this verse is the statement of Allah the Exalted:

How can you disbelieve in Allah when you were lifeless and He brought you to life; then He will cause you to die, then He will bring you [back] to life

كيف تكفرون بالله وكنتم أمواتا فـأحياكم ثم يميتكم ثم يحييكم

[Al-Baqarah 2:28]

You were dead in the wombs of your mothers before the soul was breathed into you, then He gave you life after the soul was breathed into you, then He caused you to die after this world, and then He will give you life in the Hereafter. Yes.
