Explanatory Note

Such is the beginning; but the end is in no way less miraculous or amazing, even though it is so familiar a sight: "We have decreed that death shall be among you. Nothing can prevent Us." (Verse 60) What is death, the inevitable end of every living thing? 'What is it? How does it occur? How come it overpowers all? It is nothing less than God's decree. Hence, no one can escape it. No one can spring ahead of it so as to miss it. It is a stage in the chain of existence that must be completed: "Nothing can prevent Us from replacing you by others like yourselves," to be in charge of the earth after you have gone. God who has decreed death has also decreed life.
