The Quran, just like the Holy Bible tells us things to ponder upon...not take each word for it's literal meaning...

Thanks for the information, but yes we shouldn't interpret it as having only 50% chance of coming back to life.

If ALLAH (SWT) says that the soul will be sent back for some and NOT sent back for some, doesn't mean that the shares are equal, and 50% people get it back and 50% don't.

Perhpas I'm misreading or misinterpreting the above, but isn't it implying that each night half of all Muslims die? Or to put it another way, the odds are that you'll be dead after two nights sleep. Can that really be right?

and that may cause a misunderstanding in the interpretation of the Quran.

I may not be a Muslim but I do have 18-20% muslim blood from my father's lineage and I think the word "SLEEP" connotes a different meaning.

Just my views...no time to debate about religion...it usually ends in a messy argument...
