The point of quoting this verse was quite simple i.e., **‘Yuhyeekum’ (give you life) has been used not in literal way. **

Here is what ibne-kaseer say about it.
Al-Bukhari said,
"( اسْتَجِيبُواْ Answer), obey, (**لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ ** that which will give you life) that which will make your affairs good.‘’
Al-Bukhari went on to narrate that Abu Said bin Al-Mualla said,
"I was praying when the Prophet passed by and called me, but I did not answer him until I finished the prayer. He said, What prevented you from answering me?
Has not Allah said: you who believe! Answer Allah and (His) Messenger when he calls you to that which will give you life).’
He then said:I will teach you the greatest Surah in the Qur’an before I leave. When he was about to leave, I mentioned what he said to me. He said,
All the praises and thanks are to Allah, the Lord of all that exists… (1:1-6)
Surely, it is the seven oft-repeated verses.‘’’
Muhammad bin Ishaq narrated that Muhammad bin Jafar bin Az-Zubayr said that Urwah bin Az-Zubayr explained this Ayah, (O you who believe! Answer Allah and (His) Messenger when he calls you to that which will give you life),
"Answer when called to war (Jihad) with which Allah gives you might after meekness, and strength after weakness, and shields you from the enemy who oppressed you.‘’

So we have three explanations here:

1. Giving life as - Making your affairs good
2. Giving life as - Allah gives you might after meekness, and strength after weakness, and shields you from the enemy who oppressed you.
3. The most important is this that I couldn’t understand in the first place as why surah –e-fatiah is mentioned here. Now I have got it to some extent. What is surah-e-fatiah all about?
   It is a prayer asking Allah for

•   Guidance to the right path 
  

•   Protection from being like those who invoked Allah’s wrath upon them 
  

•   and those who strayed away from the right path
  

and this is how Allah gives life to the people through His messengers

Thank you … I accept this tafsir - I also said this verse applies in a metaphoric way just as the previous ayat … It doesn’t change the direction of my conversation and hence is irrelevant, but you have given me some good information that I see and accept. I saw a bracket term meaning “life after death” so there are other tafsir as well …
