There is a minor error here that the verse is quoted from Quran 3:186 instead of Quran 3:185. I apologize for the mistake.
Quran 3:185, "Every soul shall have a taste of death: And only on the Day of Judgment shall be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the object (of life): For the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception."
