Verse 42

ٱللَّهُ Allah يَتَوَفَّى takes ٱلْأَنفُسَ the souls حِينَ (at the) time مَوْتِهَا (of) their death وَٱلَّتِى and the one who لَمْ (does) not تَمُتْ die فِى in مَنَامِهَا ۖ their sleep فَيُمْسِكُ Then He keeps ٱلَّتِى the one whom قَضَىٰ He has decreed عَلَيْهَا for them ٱلْمَوْتَ the death وَيُرْسِلُ and sends ٱلْأُخْرَىٰٓ the others إِلَىٰٓ for أَجَلٍۢ a term مُّسَمًّى ۚ specified إِنَّ Indeed فِى in ذَٰلِكَ that لَـَٔايَـٰتٍۢ surely (are) signs لِّقَوْمٍۢ for a people يَتَفَكَّرُونَ who ponder ٤٢

Allāh takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that do not die [He takes] during their sleep. Then He keeps those for which He has decreed death and releases the others for a specified term. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.
