He who creates the death of a living creature.
“Whatever is in the heavens and on earth, Let it declare the Praises and Glory of Allah: for He is the Ex- alted in Might, the Wise. To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: it is HE WHO GIVES LIFE AND DEATH; and He has Power over all things.”
(57:1-2)The Holy Quran

From the root m-w-t with the classical Arabic connotations: to die, pass away, burn out, be lifeless to be quiet, still, calm to be inanimate to be deprived of sensation to be spiritually dead, lacking spiritual life.
Allah created the inanimate world, to which all living forms return.
He ordains what shall become lifeless.
He creates the appearance of death, physically or spiritually.
