Al-Ghafir (The Believer, The Forgiver (god))
Verse 68
Translation:
68. It is He Who gives Life and Death; and when He decides upon an affair He says to it "Be" and it is.
Notes (Tafseer):
4445. The keys of life and death are in Allah's hands. But He is not dependent on time or place or instruments or materials. All that He has to do is to say "Be", and it comes into existence. Cf. xvi. 40, and n. 2066; xxxvi. 82, and n. 4029. Conversely, His Will or Command is sufficient to annihilate Existence into Non-Existence (Life into Death) or determine the limits or conditions of Existence or Non-Existence.
