إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ
except our first death, nor be punished ˹like the others˺?”
Compare 37:59 and 44:35
highlighted words differ between verses
إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ
“There is nothing beyond our first death, and we will never be resurrected.
Both deny there is anything beyond the first death but 37:59 says 'mawtatana al-ula' while 44:35 says 'mawtatuna al-ula' — a single letter difference in the possessive suffix.
