Quran 2:28–29 “How can you deny Allah? You were lifeless and He gave you life, then He will cause you to die and again bring you to life, and then to Him you will 'all' be returned.” (28) “He is the One Who created everything in the earth for you. Then He turned towards the heaven, forming it into seven heavens. And He has 'perfect' knowledge of all things.” (29) Quran 2:155–156 “We will certainly test you with a touch of fear and famine and loss of property, life, and crops. Give good news to those who patiently endure—” (155) “who say, when struck by a disaster, ‘Surely to Allah we belong and to Him we will 'all' return.’” (156) Quran 29:2–3 “Do people think they will be left alone just for saying, ‘We believe,’ without being tested?” (2) “We certainly tested those before them. And Allah will surely make clear who is truthful and who is lying.” (3) Quran 10:12–14 “Whenever hardship touches a person, they cry out to Us, 'whether' lying on their side, sitting, or standing. But when We remove their hardship, they go on as if they had never cried out to Us for the hardship that touched them. This is how the deeds of the transgressors are made to seem good to them.” (12) “We certainly destroyed 'earlier' generations before you when they did wrong, and their messengers came to them with clear proofs, but they would not believe. This is how We repay the wicked people.” (13) “Then We made you successors in the land after them, to see how you would act.” (14) Quran 80:17–22 “Perish man! How ungrateful he is!” (17) “From what did He create him?” (18) “From a drop of fluid He created him, then shaped him 'in due proportion'.” (19) “Then He made the way easy for him.” (20) “Then He causes him to die and places him in the grave.” (21) “Then, when He wills, He will raise him up 'again'.” (22) Quran 23:115–116 “Did you think that We created you without purpose, and that you would never be returned to Us?” (115) “Exalted is Allah, the True King! There is no god except Him, the Lord of the Honourable Throne.” (116)
