"How can you disbelieve in Allah seeing that you were dead and He gave you life Then He will give you death, then again will bring you to life (on the Day of Resurrection) and then unto Him you will return."- Basically HOW can we deny Allah's existence and disbelieve in Him after we were nothing and HE was the One to bring us into existence? It makes no sense. And then He will be the One to take that away and give us death. Our main focus in life ~~> I'm headed towards that direction, and there's no way that I can escape from it, so how can I prepare for it? The first death (state of lifelessness) refers to before man was ever given life, and the 2nd life is the one we are headed towards- when Allah will resurrect each and everyone of us on the Day of Judgment when each will be payed his full. In the end of the Ayah is a warning of the ReTuRn - again this is our main focus and purpose in life. We're ultimately going to have to return to Him, so we need to pack the best provisions in preparation for that meeting.
"He it is Who created for you all that is on earth. Then He Istawa ila the heaven and made them seven heavens, and He is the Knower of everything."- In this Ayah, basically Allah is mentioning another proof of His existence that we can witness (after mentioning us as a proof)- and that is in the creation of the Heavens and the Earth. His ability- He started the creation by creating the Earth (laying the foundation- the base) and then He made the Heaven into seven heavens (building on top of the base). ImPoRtAnT: Everything that was created is for mans use- it was created for us: the rain, sky, cattle, ground, abundant fruits- all of this was made for us and to benefit us.
Just something on the side which I found very beautiful: Ibn Ata said, "Allah has created the universe for you so that it should serve you and you should serve Allah and a wise man should thus know that he will certainly get what has been created for him and should not in worrying about it forget the being for whom he himself has been created."
Allah ends the Ayah by basically reminding us that His knowledge encompasses all of creation.
