Wishing for Death

Say, 'If the Hereafter belongs to you alone, excluding all others, then wish for death, if you are truthful.'

2:94Say (unto them): If the abode of the Hereafter in the providence of Allah is indeed for you alone and not for others of mankind (as ye pretend), then long for death (for ye must long for death) if ye are truthful.

Say, “O you who claim to be guided, if you assert that you are Allah’s chosen ones apart from others, then wish for death, if you are truthful.”

62:6Say (O Muhammad): O ye who are Jews! If ye claim that ye are favoured of Allah apart from (all) mankind, then long for death if ye are truthful.

But they will never wish for it, because of what their hands have sent ahead.

2:95But they will never long for it, because of that which their own hands have sent before them. Allah is aware of evil-doers.

62:7But they will never long for it because of all that their own hands have sent before, and Allah is Aware of evil-doers.

Say, “The death you flee from will surely meet you. Then you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the seen, and He will inform you of what you used to do.”

62:8Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Lo! the death from which ye shrink will surely meet you, and afterward ye will be returned unto the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, and He will tell you what ye used to do.

You will find them clinging to life more than any other people, even more than the idolaters. Each of them wishes to live a thousand years, but even a long life will not save them from punishment. Allah sees all that they do.

2:96And thou wilt find them greediest of mankind for life and (greedier) than the idolaters. (Each) one of them would like to be allowed to live a thousand years. And to live (a thousand years) would be no means remove him from the doom. Allah is Seer of what they do.
