Man's Amazement about Life after Death and the Refutation against this Amazement

Allah, the Exalted, informs that mankind is amazed that he could be returned to life after death and he thinks that this is something farfetched. As Allah says,

وَإِن تَعْجَبْ فَعَجَبٌ قَوْلُهُمْ أَءِذَا كُنَّا تُرَابًا أ

Chapter 19, Page 310, Juz 16

66. And man [i.e., the disbeliever] says, "When I have died, am I going to be brought forth alive?" 67. Does man not remember that We created him before, while he was nothing? 68. So by your Lord, We will surely gather them and the devils; then We will bring them to be present around Hell upon their knees. 69. Then We will surely extract from every sect those of them who were worst against the Most Merciful in insolence. 70. Then, surely it is We who are most knowing of those most worthy of burning therein. 71. And there is none of you except he will come to it. This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed. 72. Then We will save those who feared Allāh and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees. 73. And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Which of [our] two parties is best in position and best in association?" 74. And how many a generation have We destroyed before them who were better in possessions and [outward] appearance? 75. Say, "Whoever is in error - let the Most Merciful extend for him an extension [in wealth and time] until, when they see that which they were promised - either punishment [in this world] or the Hour [of resurrection] - they will come to know who is worst in position and weaker in soldiers." 76. And Allāh increases those who were guided, in guidance, and the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for recourse. 77. Then, have you seen he who disbelieved in Our verses and said, "I will surely be given wealth and children [in the next life]"? 78. Has he looked into the unseen, or has he taken from the Most Merciful a promise? 79. No! We will record what he says and extend [i.e., increase] for him from the punishment extensively. 80. And We will inherit him [in] what he mentions, and he will come to Us alone. 81. And they have taken besides Allāh [false] deities that they would be for them [a source of] honor. 82. No! They [i.e., those "gods"] will deny their worship of them and will be against them opponents [on the Day of Judgement].
