HARUN YAHYA (ADNAN OKTAR)

other than the "first" death is described in the following verse:

They will not taste any death there—except for the first one.
He will safeguard them from the punishment of the Blazing
Fire. A favor from your Lord. That is the Great Victory. (Surat
ad-Dukhan: 56-57)
The great bliss of the people of paradise is described in another
verse. This bliss is due to the fact that they will not experience an-
other death except for the first one:

Are we not going to die, except for our first death? Are we not
going to be punished? Truly this is the Great Victory! (Surat
as-Saffat: 58-60)
The above verses leave no room for further questions. The con-
clusion is, there is only one death which man experiences. At this
stage, the following question may arise: "Despite the reference to

two deaths in the previous verses, why is only one death mentioned
in Surat as-Saffat: 58?" The answer to this question is given in the
56th verse of Surat ad-Dukhan, which says: "They will not taste any
death there—except for the first one." Indeed, there is one and only
one death that man meets consciously. He encounters it, and with all
his senses, perceives it. This is the death one meets at the moment his
life ends. He surely cannot perceive the very first state of death since
at that time he is deprived of senses and consciousness.
In the face of such definite and clear explanations as the Qur'an
brings, maintaining that there are more deaths and states of rising
from the dead and holding that there is transmigration of the soul
would be an overt denial of the Qur'an verses.
