Surah Al-Mu'minun — 23:15

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُم بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَيِّتُونَ

Summa innakum ba'da zaalika la maaiyitoon

Następnie, z pewnością, pomrzecie,

Then, after all that, you will surely die.

Reflection

This verse and its successor are built to the same pattern in Arabic, each opening with thumma innakum, each setting a time phrase before its final word, so that dying and being raised arrive with equal grammatical weight. The forming took a long, crowded verse; what undoes it takes five words. Being addressed directly as you begins right here, at the point where the account reaches the reader's own death.
