    Salam to Novice and All,

    When was the first death, second death, first life and second life.

    God bless

    Salaam centi50

    First life could be the life we are spending in this world and second life could be life of hereafter.

    Two deaths could either be
    our state before coming into this world and second death is when we leave this world OR
    first death is when we leave this world and second death is the life of punishment of hell.

      Thank you brother Novice for replies.

      So is there Quranic ayat pointing to our first life and second life.

      First death and second Death?

      God bless

        Salam to All,

        Please can anyone explain this Ayat to me. What are these two death and two lives

        They said, "Our Lord, twice You have put us to death and twice You have brought us to life; now we have confessed our sins, is there any way out?" 4011

        God bless

        Speakers and the Listener know the fact. Speakers priortized causing death twice. Death is caused to a living entity. And that entity is firstly given life from the state of matter. Second life can be given to a dead person. They delayed the fact of giving life twice. And mentioned a past event of second life in the following clause.

        The second sentence is dependent clause with particle Fa which relates to cause and effect,

        When they had confessed their sins - refer 23100

        These are the people who are destined to Hell Prison. They used to say there is only one death 4434

        In contrast the People destined Paradise had only one death -- refer 4456

        Then please read the rule in 4521.

        In contrast please see the statement of people of Paradise in 3759; they experienced only one death.

          Peace All.
          This is crystal clear228

          Kuntum Amwatan ,----we were dead the first time means we were alive before that. Otherwise we would have been non existent. We die only if we were alive prior to death. Hence we had a first life and we were put to death.
          Then we were made alive again (as humans)a second time---Fa Ahyakum--- Thumma yumeetukkum... Then we will be made alive a third time ----Resurrection.
          is this not a logical interpretation of the verse?
          GOD bless
          Peace

            When a living dies he is called or becomes http//haqeeqat.pk/roots/Tabweeb/00086.%20Maut%20Meem%20Waw%20Ta%20death%20matter/57.gif and plural http//haqeeqat.pk/roots/Tabweeb/00086.%20Maut%20Meem%20Waw%20Ta%20death%20matter/58.gif
            Man is given life from matter.

              Kuntum Amwatan...you used to be dead -- does not say first time or we were alive before that.

              Our creation was started from inorganic materials which are dead from our perspective. So that dead matrial was changed into life then after lifetime this live person becomes dead and then will be raised again.

              Salaam

                Please see ayats quoted by brother Mazhar and reflect. People of hell will have a second death when they suffer in hell.
                People of paradise will have one death in this world and then they will live in paradise as long as our Rubb wishes.

                Salaam

                  Please reconsider, they said they have already experienced two deaths. And then saying that last time in second life we had confessed the guilt, and then ask whether there is now escape.

                    (

                    Surely those who rejected, are/will be called that Allah's dislike is greater than your dislike. When you were invited to the imaan then you rejected.....So this ayat is referring to time when they will be given life after their death in this world.

                    (

                    They said our Rabb you give us death twice and gave us life twice, So we accept our misdeeds so is there any exit from it.

                    Here it seems that second death is their life in hell which is named as death and that is why they are asking for an exit from this situation.

                    (There are many times when situation of future life is told in past tense.)

                    That is because when you were invited to Allah alone you rejected but when He was associated you believed so now the Command is for Allah the high the great.

                    This ayat further give me understanding that their second death is their stay in hell because of their rejection.

                        Yes the Hereafter events are mentioned in Future Perfect to emphasize certainty as if it is history.
                        In the First Ayah they are reminded what they were habitually doing in their worldly life.

                        Certainly those who had disavowed will be reminded of their state?
                        "Indeed in the judgment of Allah it was more inappropriate and abominable act than the irritating vile of you people which your selves felt when you were invited towards the Belief, whereupon you kept refuting it".

                        Responding to it they state how they were already dealt with for their conduct

                        They said, "Our Sustainer Lord, You earlier did cause us death on two occasions when You had given us life twice;
                        Thereby, we had confessed our sins
                        Thereby, is there any way of getting out?"

                        The answer to the fact or subtle complaint of giving twice life and twice death is given in the dependent clause beginning with Demonstrative pronoun

                        "This was for the reason that you people refused to accept when Allah was mentioned as "He is the One"
                        But if a partner was joined with Him you believed that (duality).
                        Therefore, the decision/command (regarding the way out) is for Allah, the Exalted, the Greatest."

                          Peace Novice.
                          You mean our bodies that we are coupled with as humans were created as follows? Quote

                          Our creation was started from inorganic materials which are dead from our perspective. So that dead matrial was changed into life then after lifetime this live person becomes dead and then will be raised again.

                          I believe originally, before our first creation we were "nothing", no matter ,no materials, Zilch(Kun Fayakun)
                          1967

                          1967
                          Did the human being forget that we created him Min Kablu, and he was nothing?
                          GOD bless you.
                          Peace.

                            So does this mean we exsisted before being born here in this world?

                            God bless

                              Peace centi50.
                              For me it can only mean that we had a life before this one.

                              If ,quote Kuntum Amwatan...you used to be dead -- does not say first time or we were alive before that.

                              The word "Amwatan" would not have been used , as Mawt only follows a life. You could not die if you were not alive .
                              If it means we were materials or mud or other ,then we were not dead!!!
                              Also as I pointed out ,there is a clear verse(1967) that says we started out from "NOTHING". This must have been before the first life.
                              GOD bless you.
                              Peace.

                                  Peace Mazhar.
                                  Where did you get "Statues" from the verse

                                  The verse is talking about calling on "others" like Jesus ,Mohammed, saints, other creations as "gods beside GOD Alone".
                                  And these, gods like Jesus, Mohammed...etc are dead not alive
                                  That verse is not talking about the statues but about the humans/other gods they represent for those who idolise them!!!
                                  GOD bless you..
                                  Peace

                                      Honestly brother mazhar, you will argue even with statues!
                                      I get you. The verse is about statues because you say so even if it has nothing to do with statues.
                                      I am wasting my time ,it is like talking to statues,

                                      Common brother Mazhar,! The Aya is not talking about statues. and you know it. Dead prophets and dead partners with GOD are the subject.
                                      Anyway, you may carry on with the argument, like you always do, but please do not get into the grammar, verbs, characteristics, adjectives...of the verse. You will lose me otherwise.
                                      Thank you brother.
                                      GOD bless you.
                                      Peace.

                                        You mean our bodies that we are coupled with as humans were created as follows? Quote

                                        Our creation was started from inorganic materials which are dead from our perspective. So that dead matrial was changed into life then after lifetime this live person becomes dead and then will be raised again.

                                        I believe originally, before our first creation we were "nothing", no matter ,no materials, Zilch(Kun Fayakun)

                                        Did the human being forget that we created him Min Kablu, and he was nothing?
                                        GOD bless you.

                                        Do they not reflect on Quran, had it been from other than Allah they would have found many differences in it.

                                        Quran does not contradict itself. It has given us information on how we were evolved. To cite few examples

                                        359

                                        ......He created him from dust......

                                        62

                                        He who created you all from mud......

                                        712

                                        .......You created him from mud

                                        1526

                                        We created the man from sounding decayed clay

                                        and on and on...

                                        Now coming to your cited ayat

                                        1967

                                        Does the insaan not recall that indeed We created him before and he was nothing.

                                        Thay ayat does not say he was created out of nothing rather it says he was nothing before creation.

                                        Hope I made myself clear.

                                          Very good, very clear.

                                          The details of the raw material are explicitly mentioned. I have compiled them, and analysed the words describing them.

                                          Human Being - the Blue eyed of created realm

                                          Introduction
                                          Man is the cause behind the creation of physical realm.

                                          In English Frame Index the Creation, Create physical artwork, Create representation, Intentionally create is defined "The Creator creates a new entity, the Created entity, possibly out of Components"; "A Creator creates an artifact that is typically an iconic Representation of an actual or imagined entity or event. The Representation may also be evocative of an idea while not based on resemblance"; A Creator produces a physical object which is to serve as a Representation of an actual or imagined entity or event, the Represented".

                                          In Arabic the semantic frame Creation is embedded in Root . Ibn Faris in his famous lexicon stated about this Root

                                          That it signifies the act of determining the measures and proportionality of a thing to other things, and then smoothening of the object.

                                          Its general perception and meanings as creation are well known. The basic perception is that of the idea and intention of giving existence to the intended object. Thus the thing is created and exists firstly in Abstract Realm before it takes existence in the Physical Realm.

                                          The words that stem from this Root are result oriented. The irreducible semantic features of this Root are

                                          (1) A living Who is the creator of the object;

                                          (2) The will - decision taken by the living to create;

                                          (3) The purpose the Creator has in mind to create the object;

                                          (4) For what or for whom it is meant;

                                          (5) Idea - blue print - determination of measures and proportionality of the thing to other things that creates interrelationships before the object takes existence;

                                          (6) The span of time it will continue to exist or live.

                                          (7) Assigning a name to the object for its cognition.

                                          The first occurrence of the word "creation" is about Man's creation, reflecting the honour he has in the physical realm, though he was made to emerge in physical form when all arrangements commensurate to his status and security were set in place
