The Holy Quran 2:94 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

قُلْ إِن كَانَتْ لَكُمُ ٱلدَّارُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَالِصَةً مِّن دُونِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُا۟ ٱلْمَوْتَ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

Translation

Say, "If the home of the Aakhirah (Jannah) is entirely for you only and for no one else (as you claim), then wish for death if you are truthful." (If you really believe that Jannah is only for you, why do you not wish for an early death so that you can reach Jannah sooner? If your claim is true, why do you fear death?)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Refutation of one of the claims of the Children of Israel: the Jews used to say, “No one but us will enter Paradise, and we will not be punished.” Almighty Allah said, “If you are certainly the people of Paradise, why then are you afraid of dying?”
