The Holy Quran 62:8 — Surah Al-Jumu'ah

Arabic text

قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْمَوْتَ ٱلَّذِى تَفِرُّونَ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُۥ مُلَـٰقِيكُمْ ۖ ثُمَّ تُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَـٰلِمِ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَـٰدَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

Translation

Say (to these Jews), "Verily the death that you flee from shall certainly find you. Thereafter, (after death,) you shall be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the seen and He will inform (tell) you of what you used to do." (Then you will have no escape from His punishment.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

There is no escape from death: that is, fearing death, where can you run? Make a thousand efforts, shut yourselves up in strong fortresses with the gates barred — death will not let you go even there. And after death there is again that same court of Allah, and you [before it]. (Connection [between the verses])
