Dead land
(35:9) God is the One who sends the winds so that they plough up clouds, then We drive them to a town that is dead (Arab. مَيِّتٍ, mayyitin), and We revive with them the land after it had died. Such is the reincarnation.
Сyclical death
(2:28) How can you deny God, while you were dead (Arab. أَمْوَاتًا, amwātan), then He brought you to life? Then He will cause you to die (Arab. يُمِيتُكُمْ, yumītukum), then He will give you life again, then to Him you will be returned.
To give life to the dead
(46:33) Did they not see that God, Who created the Universes and the Earth, and was not tired by their creation, is able to give life to the dead (Arab. الْمَوْتَىٰ, l-mawtā)? Yes indeed; He is able to do all things.
Jacob's death
(2:133) Or were you present when death (Arab. الْمَوْتُ, l-mawtu) came to Jacob and he told his sons, "Who shall you serve after I am gone?" They said, "Your god, and the god of your fathers Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac; One god and to Him we peacefully surrender."
Fear of death
(2:19) Or like a storm from the sky, in it are darkness, thunder, and lightning. They place their fingers in their ears from thunderclaps out of fear of death (Arab. الْمَوْتِ, l-mawti); and God is aware of the ingrates.
Debates about death
(2:258) Did the news come to you of the person who debated with Abraham regarding his Lord, though God had given him the kingship? Abraham said, "My Lord is the One who gives life and death (Arab. وَيُمِيتُ, wayumītu)," he said, "I bring life and death (Arab. وَأُمِيتُ, wa-umītu)." Abraham said, "God brings the sun from the east, so you bring it from the west!" The one who did not appreciate was confounded! God does not guide the wicked people.
Resurrection from the dead
(2:260) Abraham said, "My Lord, show me how you resurrect the dead (Arab. الْمَوْتَىٰ, l-mawtā)." He said, "Do you not already acknowledge?" He said, "I do, but to assure my heart." He said, "Choose four birds, then cut them, then place parts of the birds on each mountain, then call them to you; they will come racing towards you. Know that God is Noble, Wise."
