Commentary
When He commanded His servants to be eager in worship and to sincerely care for it, so that they seek the most suitable lands for it, even if they are distant, He followed it with the saying, "Every soul will taste death," meaning that it will experience its bitterness and distress just as the taster experiences the taste of what is tasted. Its meaning is: You will die and will reach the recompense. Whoever has this as his end must prepare for it and strive with all his effort.
