Scepticism about the Resurrection and Its Refutation

Allah tells us about the idolators who deny the Resurrection, considering it extremely unlikely that bodies will be re-created after they have become bones and dust. Then He says:

لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا هَـذَا نَحْنُ وَءَابَآؤُنَا مِن قَبْلُ

Chapter 27, Page 383, Juz 20

67. So the disbelievers say, ‘What! When we and our forefathers have become dust, shall we be brought back to life again? 68. We have heard such promises before, and so did our forefathers. These are just ancient fables.’ 69. [Prophet], say, ‘Travel through the earth and see how the evildoers ended up.’ 70. [Prophet], do not grieve over them; do not be distressed by their schemes. 71. They also say, ‘When will this promise be fulfilled if what you say is true?’ 72. Say, ‘Maybe some of what you seek to hasten is near at hand.’ 73. Your Lord is bountiful to people, though most of them are ungrateful. 74. He knows everything their hearts conceal and everything they reveal: 75. there is nothing hidden in the heavens or on earth that is not in a clear Record. 76. Truly, this Quran explains to the Children of Israel most of what they differ about, 77. and it is guidance and grace for those who believe. 78. Truly, your Lord will judge between them in His wisdom- He is the Almighty, the All Knowing- 79. so [Prophet], put your trust in God, you are on the path of clear truth. 80. You cannot make the dead hear, you cannot make the deaf listen to your call when they turn their backs and leave, 81. you cannot guide the blind out of their error: you cannot make anyone hear you except those who believe in Our signs and submit [to Us]. 82. When the verdict is given against them, We shall bring a creature out of the earth, which will tell them that people had no faith in Our revelations.

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
