Commentary
فَأْتُوا بِآبَائِنَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ "Bring our fathers, if you are true (in your belief in resurrection" ) (44:36) ". Allah did not give an answer to this argument of theirs, because it was too obvious to need explanation, for the resurrection will happen on the Day of Judgment, not in this world. Allah will bring back to life all human beings in the Hereafter. Life and death in this world are bound by specific natural laws and wisdom. If Allah is not bringing back to life those who died long ago at this time, it does not necessarily imply that He will not be able to give life after death in the Hereafter. The following statement embodies their false/absurd reasoning: In logical terminology, it may be said that the negation of a particular thing does not necessarily imply the negation of a general thing. (Bayan-ul-Qur an)
