And Allah also disables the souls temporarily at the time of sleep, but the person does not die (called ). Those for whom the time of death has arrived, Allah takes away the soul () and for others restores it for an appointed term. Indeed, there are signs in it for those who ponder deeply. (And it is a proof of the Power of Allah). (Also see Surah Al-Anam:60 and 61).
