Surah Al-Muminoon (23) — Ayah 16

(Ayah 16){ ثُمَّ اِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ تُبْعَثُوْنَ :} By mentioning the stages of human life as evidence, the main point is stated, which the disbelievers considered impossible: that after a certain period, you will surely be resurrected. In Surah Al-Hajj, it is clearly stated: « يٰۤاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ فِيْ رَيْبٍ مِّنَ الْبَعْثِ فَاِنَّا خَلَقْنٰكُمْ مِّنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ مُّضْغَةٍ مُّخَلَّقَةٍ وَّ غَيْرِ مُخَلَّقَةٍ لِّنُبَيِّنَ لَكُمْ وَ نُقِرُّ فِي الْاَرْحَامِ مَا نَشَآءُ اِلٰۤى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ثُمَّ نُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلًا ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوْۤا اَشُدَّكُمْ وَ مِنْكُمْ مَّنْ يُّتَوَفّٰى وَ مِنْكُمْ مَّنْ يُّرَدُّ اِلٰۤى اَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ لِكَيْلَا يَعْلَمَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ عِلْمٍ شَيْـًٔا وَ تَرَى الْاَرْضَ هَامِدَةً فَاِذَاۤ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا الْمَآءَ اهْتَزَّتْ وَ رَبَتْ وَ اَنْۢبَتَتْ مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍۭ بَهِيْجٍ » [ الحج : ۵ ] "O people! If you are in doubt about being raised up, then surely We created you from dust, then from a drop, then from a clot of blood, then from a lump of flesh, formed and unformed, so that We may make clear to you. And We cause whom We will to remain in the wombs for an appointed term, then We bring you out as infants, then so that you may reach your maturity. And among you is he who is taken in death, and among you is he who is returned to the most decrepit old age so that after having knowledge, he knows nothing. And you see the earth lifeless, but when We send down water upon it, it stirs and swells and brings forth every beautiful kind." Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: [ مَا بَيْنَ النَّفْخَتَيْنِ أَرْبَعُوْنَ، قَالُوْا يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ! أَرْبَعُوْنَ يَوْمًا؟ قَالَ أَبَيْتُ، قَالَ أَرْبَعُوْنَ سَنَةً؟ قَالَ أَبَيْتُ، قَالَ أَرْبَعُوْنَ شَهْرًا؟ قَالَ أَبَيْتُ، وَيَبْلَہ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِ إِلَّا عَجْبَ ذَنَبِهِ، فِيْهِ يُرَكَّبُ الْخَلْقُ] [بخاري، التفسیر، باب قولہ : «و نفخ في الصور…» : ۴۸۱۴ ] "Between the two trumpet blasts there will be an interval of forty." The people asked, "O Abu Hurairah! Forty days?" He said, "I do not confirm." They said, "Forty years?" He said, "I do not confirm." They said, "Forty months?" He said, "I do not confirm." (Because the days, months, and years of the world will have been folded up with the sun.) The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Everything of the human body will decay except the coccyx (tailbone); from it the creation will be reassembled."
