“He brings forth the living from the dead and brings forth the dead from the living, and revives the earth after it is dead. Likewise will you be raised to life (after you die).”
(Al Qur’ān – 30:19)
This ayah of the Qur’ān presents solid arguments to prove Akhirah (the Day of Reawakening). Man is reminded here of some of God’s acts such as bringing forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living and reviving the earth after it is dead (that is, after it has been rendered bereft of all signs of fertility). All these acts of God are observed by everyone day in and day out. How, then, can it even be conceived that God will be unable to revive man after he dies? Let’s not forget that it is the same God Who makes living humans and animals regularly discharge waste matter which has apparently no sign of life. At the same time, He infuses life into dead matter and brings into existence countless living beings – animals, plants, and human beings – even though the constituents, which these living beings are composed of, are devoid of life.
God also grants man the opportunity to constantly observe that barren patches of dead land are instantly revived by water and begin to pour out a luxuriant treasure of plant and animal life. Anyone who observes all this and still remains unconvinced that the Omnipotent God Who superintends the entire scheme of existence would be powerless to resurrect human beings after they die certainly suffers from intellectual blindness.
