6:99
Thus, partially, first comes annihilation or death and then survival or everlasting life. If the particular soul cannot raise this life-like (hayat-numa) death to the level of self-annihilation (fana-yi khwudi), then it cannot deserve to be granted the true everlasting life. This is testified by the Tradition of the holy Prophet: “The mu'min does not die, rather he only departs from the abode of annihilation to the abode of survival”. If the soul of the mu'min, while leaving the body, does not die and only departs towards the abode of survival or everlasting life, then it is obvious that by reaching it, it revives and the duration for which it remained outside it, it remained concealed in the darkness of death. This same reality is also explained in detail in this verse: “And He it is Who has produced you from a Single [Universal] Soul (nafsin wahidah), and then there is a permanent place (mustaqarr) and a transitory place (mustawda). We have detailed the signs for a people who understand” (6:99).
