Verily you will die, and so will they.
Indeed you (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) will taste death, and they (the disbelievers) too will die.
Thou art mortal, and they are mortal;
Yet, verily, thou art bound to die, [O Muhammad,] and, verily, they, too, are bound to die:
Verily thou art mortal, and verily they are mortals.
Verily, you (O Muhammad SAW) will die and verily, they (too) will die.
You will die, and they will die.
(O Prophet), you are destined to die and they too are destined to die.
Verily, you will die, and verily, they (too) will die.
Lo! thou wilt die, and lo! they will die;
You will die, and they [too] will die.
You are mortal, and they are mortal
Indeed, you are to die, and indeed, they are to die.
(Muhammad), you will die and all of them will also die.
Surely you shall die and they (too) shall surely die.
Innaka mayyitun wainnahum mayyitoon<b>a</b>
You will die and they too will die,
Truly thou wilt die (one day), and truly they (too) will die (one day).
إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُم مَّيِّتُونَ
You, O Messenger, will certainly pass away and they will too.
You, O Messenger, will certainly pass away and they will too.
<p>Commentary</p><p>In verse 30, it was said: إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُم مَّيِّتُونَ (Verily, you are to die and they are to die). The word: مَيِّتٌ (mayyit) with a doubling sound on the letter: اَلیاء (al-ya) denotes someone who will die in the future and مَیت (mait) with the letter al-ya' remaining quiescent, someone who has died. In this verse, the address is to the Holy Prophet ﷺ and it is being said to him that he too is to die and so are his friends and foes, who will also die. The objective behind the statement is to alert and persuade everyone to be concerned about the Hereafter and be ready to do everything necessary to achieve this goal. Then, as an inter-related side of the subject, the purpose is also to make it very clear that the Holy Prophet ﷺ too, despite being the most sublime among the creation and the foremost among prophets, is not exempted from death, so that people would not differ about this matter after his passing away from this mortal world (from al-Qurtubi).</p>
