It issued an amazing light with a horrible sound and an awful earthquake so that everybody there, because of their intense fear, fell dead: “And when you said, ‘O Moses, we will not believe you until we see Allah visibly.’ Thereupon a thunderbolt seized you as you looked on.” It is mentioned seventy persons from amongst the great leaders of the Israelites had died in that occurrence.

However, it was due to the supplication and request of Moses that Allah raise them up and let them live again: “Then We raised you up after your death so that you might give thanks.” Without any doubt, this verse is one of the verses that attest to the possibility of ‘restoration of life’, in this world, because its occurrence in one respect is evidence of its possibility in other respects, too.

Two: In verse 73 of Surah al-Baqarah, discusses the dispute and disagreement that arose amongst the Children of Isra’il due to the murder of one of them in a mysterious way, in which his murderer was not at all known. Every tribe accused the members of another tribe of the crime and announced that the members of its own tribe were innocent.

Finally, Moses (PBUH), with the help of the Grace and Guidance of Allah and through a miraculous way, the murdered person was made to return to life for a moment in order to name his murderer: “We said, ‘Strike him with a piece of it:’ thus does Allah revive the dead, and He shows you His signs so that you may exercise your reason.” Three: In verse 243 of Qur’an 2 [Surah al-Baqarah] indirectly and also instructively points to the awesome fate of one of the old nations.

They encountered a terrible infectious disease in their environment where thousands of them fled from. They died from the same sickness that they had used as the pretext of their flight. Then Allah brought them back to life, maybe so that the story of their lives might serve as a warning for others who can take an example from it: “Have you not regarded those who left their homes in thousands, apprehensive of death, whereupon Allah said to them, ‘Die,’ then He revived them?
