The Holy Quran 6:60 — Surah Al-An'am

Arabic text

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى يَتَوَفَّىٰكُم بِٱلَّيْلِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا جَرَحْتُم بِٱلنَّهَارِ ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُكُمْ فِيهِ لِيُقْضَىٰٓ أَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى ۖ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

Translation

He is the One Who raises your souls (from your bodies) by night (when you sleep), knows what you do by day and awakens you (after your sleep) to complete the fixed term (of your life). Then (after you die) to Him is your return and He shall inform you of (take you to task for) what you used to do.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

On the Return [to life after death]: that is, at night during sleep outward sensation and awareness do not remain, and a person becomes unaware of his surroundings and even of the state of his own body. It is as though these faculties have been taken from him at that time.
