22. Then, when He wills, He will resurrect him [15].
[15] That is, just as man was helpless in the matter of his birth and death, in the same way he will also be helpless before Allah’s command regarding his resurrection. He was not asked at the time of his birth whether he wished to be born so that he could be created if he wanted, or not created if he did not. Nor was he asked at the time of death whether he wished to die so that he could be given death if he wanted, or allowed to remain alive if he did not. In the same way, at the time of being resurrected, he will not be asked anything. Whenever Allah wills, He will bring him back to life and make him stand.
