LessonsPunishment and Bliss in the Grave, and Questioning by Munkar and NakirQuiz

لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا الْمَوْتَ إِلَّا الْمَوْتَةَ الْأُولَى
There they will not taste death except the first death. (Qurʾan 44:56)

An objection argues that restoring ordinary complete life in the grave, followed by another death, would introduce a second death after the first. This is then used to oppose the notion of barzakh life.

The reply points out that the premise is too strong: barzakh awareness need not be the complete earthly life being assumed. A different relation of the soul or limited created awareness would not necessarily entail a second full death of the alleged kind.
