Will the dust become a human being again?Introduction

We have said that the Qura’n first speaks about the possibility of life after death and then establishes it in 6 different ways and

Then gives proofs for the same.

We may not mention that the objectors of life after death have no proof to substantiate their claim intellectually or logically. They resort to their common thinking and simply state that life after death is not possible and go to the extent of calling it madness to believe in it; or they blame God and make fun of those who believe in it.

Now we return to the Qura’n and listen to the verses in our hearts:

Verse 49 of Surah Bani Israel:

And they say, “When we are bones and fragments should we really be resurrected (to be) a new creation?”

Verse 7-8 of Surah Saba:

“Those who disbelieve say, “Will we direct you to a person who will tell you that you will be recreated after you have disintegrated into dust completely? (8) Has he invented a lie against God or is there madness in him?”

Verse 10 Surah Sajdah:

“They said, “Shall we return as a new creation after we are lost in the earth?”

Verses 67-68 of Surah Naml:

“And those who disbelieve say, “Shall we be brought forth (again) when we and our forefathers have become dust? Indeed we and forefather before were promised this. Verily they are nothing but the tales of the ancient.”

Verse 2-3 of Surah Qaf:

The disbelievers say this is an amazing thing (3) (shall we still return?) after we die and become dust? This return is far from truth.”

Verses 35 to 37 of Surah Muminun:

“Does he promise you that when you have died and have become dust and bones, you shall come out alive?

(36)Far very far is that which you have been promised. (37) There is nothing but our life of this world! We die and we live! And we are not going to be resurrected!”(1)

Verses 34 and 35 of Surah Dukhan:

“Verily these people are saying: (35) there is nothing but our first death and we shall not be resurrected.”

 


 

1. The same can be seen in verse 47-48 of Surah Waqiah, verse 53 of Surah Saffat and verse 78 of Surah Yasin.
