Verses 54-58Verses 48-53

      The argument again is driven to the Resurrection and rise of the deads:

      To taunt and despise the faithful, by an up braiding language, the heathens used to say:-

      ``If there really is a life to come as you believe it, then tell us when is that promise come to pass?''

      The heathens were indeed void of knowledge and simple minded! How can we know that death is an end, and not the beginning of a new life in another kind of creation? The Law of conservative of matter and energy, proves that the building block of man's creation is never changed, and can never become non-existent.

      In our sleep we do feel another kind of life that without the body, our soul has a body! In our sleeping life we feel happy, we feel sad, we have fear and we have hope and happiness. There in our sleep is no time, in the form of past and future. Everything is at present. Such was the condition of the Seven Sleepers when they woke up after a period of three hundred years more or less. To them the time seemed to be a night or less! Any how, our life here is temporary and some sort of a probation, or a period of trial. Sooner or later death will catch us, and then our eyes will see that which we cannot see now:-

      ``They are waiting not except for a single cry that seizes them while they are in a hot dispute, or quarrelling about some material goods.''

 

      A soundِa sudden accidentِa halt of the heart or a stop of the lungs, will change everything to us, and will make us to know that we have to answer for our evil deeds, in a court of judgement which stands upon the highest standards of justice and Grace.

      That change occurs out of a sudden and we find ourselves in a new creation and a new world! So we will be taken aback and struck with astonishment!

      When a cover is removedِa thin cover of light is removed from the front of our sight, and we are plunged in the darkness of the night, there appears millions of wonderful planets and celestial bodies that are twinkling to us from far distances in the universe! Then what do we know of the said hidden worlds that may appear after or before death!?

      When we die, just as when we fall asleep, there will be no time according to the Principle of Relativity.

      Past and future will have no meaning! Everything is at the present. A momentِan hourِa yearِand a century, are all the same and as an instance in length! In a twinkle of an eye, millions of years may elapse, and we soon open our eyes to witness the Resurrection Phenomenon! It might be only a soundِa single cryِsome sort of a vibration or a change of a winter to a spring, and LO! We are up, leaving our graves in rush for the field in which we shall have a new condition of lifeِa condition that depends mainly upon our past deeds. Life is always and everywhere, what we make it with our handsِwith our deeds:-

      ``And the trumpet shall be blown, and then they begin to leave their graves for their Lord in a hurry. They say:-``Woe to us! Who has roused us from our graves? This must be the promise of God and His Messengers.''

      When the deads wake up from their long sleep in the grave, they rub their eyes, as if they were in an extreme mental insensitiveness, and are confused in their new condition. They gradually come to themselves and regain their personality, and at once they remember that they had already been informed of that occasion by the Messengers of God! They can then understand that the apostles were right, and what they said was all truth.

      Arousing the dead is far easier for God than it is for the season of spring, to revive the leafless trees:-

      ``It was nothing except a single cry, and then all of them are made present before us!''
