The Holy Quran 21:34 — Surah Al-Anbya

Arabic text

وَمَا جَعَلْنَا لِبَشَرٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ ٱلْخُلْدَ ۖ أَفَإِي۟ن مِّتَّ فَهُمُ ٱلْخَـٰلِدُونَ

Translation

(O Muhammad ﷺ) We have not prescribed eternal life for any human before you (regardless of whether the others were Ambiyaa or not. You will therefore pass away like all others). If you pass away (as the Kuffaar wish), will they (the Kuffaar) live forever? (They will have to die as well. They therefore have nothing to be happy about when you pass away because whereas you will enjoy happiness in the next life, they will suffer only misery.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

وما جعلنا لبشر من قبلك - أيها الرسول - دوام البقاء في الدنيا، أفإن مت فهم يُؤمِّلون الخلود بعدك؟ لا يكون هذا. وفي هذه الآية دليل على أن الخضر عليه السلام قد مات; لأنه بشر.
