Surah 3. Al-i'Imran, Ayah 185
| كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ ۗ وَإِنَّمَا تُوَفَّوْنَ أُجُورَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ۖ فَمَنْ زُحْزِحَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَأُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فَازَ ۗ وَمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا مَتَاعُ الْغُرُورِ |
| Transliteration | : | kull nafs dhaa'iqah al- mawt wa- 'inna-maa tuwaffawn 'ujor -kum yawm al- qiyaamah fa- man zuh.zih.a can an- naar wa- udkhila al- jannah fa- qad faaza wa- maa al- h.ayaah ad- dunyaa 'illaa mataac al- ghuror |
| Pickthall | : | Every soul will taste of death. And ye will be paid on the Day of Resurrection only that which ye have fairly earned. Whoso is removed from the Fire and is made to enter Paradise, he indeed is triumphant. The life of this world is but comfort of illusion. |
| Asad | : | Every human being is bound to taste death: but only on the Day of Resurrection will you be requited in full [for whatever you have done] - whereupon he that shall be drawn away from the fire and brought into paradise will indeed have gained a triumph: for the life of this world is nothing but an enjoyment of self-delusion. |
| Malik | : | Every soul shall taste death. You shall receive your full reward for everything which you have striven for, on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever is spared from the fire and is admitted into paradise will have attained the objective of this worldly life; for the life of this world is nothing but an illusory enjoyment. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Every soul shall have a taste of death: and only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the fire and admitted to the garden will have attained the object (of life): for the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception. 491 492 |
Note - 491The death of the body will give a taste of death to the
soul when the soul separates from the body. The soul will
then know that this life was but a probation. And seeming
inequalities will be adjusted finally on the Day of
Judgment.

Note - 492Cf. Longfellow's Psalm of Life: "All this world's a
fleeting show. For man's illusion given". The only
reality will be when we have attained our final goal.
