ٱللَّهُ يَتَوَفَّى ٱلْأَنفُسَ حِينَ مَوْتِهَا وَٱلَّتِى لَمْ تَمُتْ فِى مَنَامِهَا ۖ فَيُمْسِكُ ٱلَّتِى قَضَىٰ عَلَيْهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ وَيُرْسِلُ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

EnglishSaheeh International
Allāh takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that do not die [He takes] during their sleep. Then He keeps those for which He has decreed death and releases the others for a specified term. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.

அல்லாஹ், உயிர்களை அவை மரணிக்கும் போதும், மரணிக்காதவற்றை அவற்றின் நித்திரையிலும் கைப்பற்றி, பின்பு எதன் மீது மரணத்தை விதித்துவிட்டானோ அதை(த் தன்னிடத்தில்) நிறுத்திக் கொள்கிறான்; மீதியுள்ளவற்றை ஒரு குறிப்பிட்ட தவணை வரை (வாழ்வதற்காக) அனுப்பி விடுகிறான் - சிந்தித்துப் பார்க்கும் மக்களுக்கு, நிச்சயமாக அதில் அத்தாட்சிகள் இருக்கின்றன.

ආත්මාවන් ඒවා මරණයට පත් වන මොහොතේ ද නින්දේදී මරණයට පත් නො වූ දෑ ද අත්පත් කර ගන්නේ අල්ලාහ් ය. කවර ආත්මයක් මත මරණය තීන්දු කළේ ද එය ඔහු රඳවා තබා ගනී. සෙසු දෑ නියම කරන ලද කාලයක් දක්වා ඔහු එවනු ඇත. කල්පනා කර බලන ජනයාට නියත වශයෙන් ම එහි සංඥා ඇත.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
اللہ ہی روحوں کو ان کی موت کے وقت اور جن کی موت نہیں آئی انہیں ان کی نیند کے وقت قبض کر لیتا ہے، پھر جن پر موت کا حکم لگ چکا ہے انہیں تو روک لیتا ہے اور دوسری (روحوں) کو ایک مقرر وقت تک کے لیے چھوڑ دیتا ہے۔ غور کرنے والوں کے لیے اس میں یقیناً بہت سی نشانیاں ہیں.

アッラーは(人間が)死ぬとその魂を召され,また死なない者も,睡眠の間(それを召し),かれが死の宣告をなされた者の魂は,そのままに引き留め,その外のものは定められた時刻に送り返される。本当にこの中には,反省する人びとへの種々の印がある。
ChineseMa Jian
人们到了死亡的时候,真主将他们的灵魂取去;尚未到死期的人们,当他们睡眠的时候,真主也将他们的灵魂取去。他已判决其死亡者,他扣留他们的灵魂;他未判决其死亡者,便将他们的灵魂放回,至一定期。对于能思维的民众,此中确有许多迹象。

Tafsir of 39:42

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَبَ (Verily, We have sent down to you the Book) meaning, the Qur'an. لِلنَّاسِ بِالْحَق (for mankind in truth.) means, for all of creation, mankind and Jinn, so that he may warn them therewith. فَمَنِ اهْتَدَى فَلِنَفْسِهِ (So, whosoever accepts the guidance, it is only for himself;) means, the benefit of that will return to him. وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَا (and whosoever goes astray, he goes astray only for his (own) loss.) means, the consequences of that will return to him. وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيْهِم بِوَكِيلٍ (And you are not a trustee over them. ) means, `you are not responsible for guiding them.' إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ نَذِيرٌ وَاللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَكِيلٌ (But you are only a warner. And Allah is a Trustee over all things) (11:12). فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ الْبَلَغُ وَعَلَيْنَا الْحِسَابُ (your duty is only to convey and on Us is the reckoning) (13:40). Allah is the One Who causes Death and gives Life Then Allah tells us that He is in control of all things and does as He wills. He causes men to die (the "greater death") when He sends the angels to take men's souls from their bodies, and He causes them to "die a lesser death" when they sleep.…
