The first life, which pertaineth to the elemental body, will come to an
end, as hath been revealed by God: "Every soul shall taste of death."(42)
But the second life, which ariseth from the knowledge of God, knoweth no
death, as hath been revealed aforetime: "Him will We surely quicken to a
blessed life."(43) And in another passage concerning the martyrs: "Nay,
they are alive and sustained by their Lord."(44) And from the Traditions:
"He who is a true believer liveth both in this world and in the world to
come."(45) Numerous examples of similar words are to be found in the Books
of God and of the Embodiments of His justice. For the sake of brevity,
however, We have contented Ourself with the above passages.
