quran:37:59 –

Except for our first death, and we will not be punished?"  

aside from our first death, that is, the one ˹which we suffered˺ in this world, and are we not to be chastised?’ — this interrogative statement is one made out of ˹sheer˺ delight and in order to speak ˹at length˺ of the graces of God, exalted be He, in ˹His˺ granting of everlasting life and refraining from inflicting any punishment.
القرآن:٣٧:٥٩ –

إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا الْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ  

{إلا موتتنا الأولى} أي التي في الدنيا {وما نحن بمعذبين} هو استفهام تلذذ وتحدُّث بنعمة الله تعالى من تأبيد الحياة وعدم التعذيب.
