What does the Qur'an say about death?

The Qur'an does not hide death — it names it plainly as something every single soul will meet, and reframes this whole life as a short passage measured against what comes after. It is meant not to frighten you but to wake you.

“Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has attained [his desire]. And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion.”— 3:185 (Saheeh International)
