death and life
هُوَ الَّذِي يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ فَإِذَا قَضَىٰ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ
He it is Who gives life and causes death. And when He decides upon a thing He says to it only: “Be!” and it is.
— Quran 40:68
The names and attributes of Allah/God include the “Life-giver” and “Death-causer”. The Lord and Creator of this universe surely has the ability to cause His Creatures to die and bring them back to life just as He had already created them. It is He Who gives life to others, causes them to die and brings them back to life. Moreover, He is the Self-existent Who was not given life, cannot be caused to die or brought back to life by anyone else.
لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ
God begets not, nor is He begotten
— Quran 112:3
The Giver of Life المحيي and The Bringer of Death المميت are two names of Allah.
