Transliteration:( Nahnu qaddarnaa baina kumul mawta wa maa nahnu bimasbooqeen )
54. This means your birth is in Our power as well as your death. Thus some are caused to die in their youth and some in their old age. Everyone's period of birth and death is recorded on the Divine Tablet.
55. This means, daily We are causing the creation to come to life as well as to die. Every moment We are revealing millions of miracles. But neither does this cause tiredness to Us nor do We need to rest, nor do We experience any loss. We have determined different ages and life spans for different persons on the basis of thousands of wisdoms.
The tafsir of Surah Waqiah verse 60 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Waqiah ayat 57 which provides the complete commentary from verse 57 through 62.
25. That is, like your birth your death is also under Our control. We decide as to who is to die in the mother’s womb itself, who is to die soon after birth, and who is to die at a later stage. No power in the world can cause death to a person before the time appointed for his death by Us, nor can keep him alive after it even for a moment. The dying ones die in big hospitals even before the eyes of eminent doctors; and the doctors themselves also die at their appointed time. Never has anyone been able to know the time of death in advance, nor has anyone been able to avert the approaching death, nor to find out as to how and where and by what means will a certain person die.
