However, there are a lot of statements here that, in order not to go out of the way of commentary discussion, they are referred to in short as follows: 1- No doubt, the act of restoring some dead persons to life in this world is not one of the impossible things, as the restoring all human being to life in Hereafter is quietly possible.

To surprise for such an affair is like the wonder of a group of pagans of the Age of Ignorance concerning the subject of Resurrection, and mocking it is similar to their mockery upon Resurrection, because intellect does not consider it impossible; and the Power of Allah is so vast that all these affairs are easy for Him. 2- According to the Holy Qur’an, the occurrence of /raj‘at/ (return to life) has happened for five instances of the former nations: A.

The first instance is about a prophet who was passing by a township the walls of which were ruined and the bones of the bodies of its people were scattered over there. He asked himself how Allah might restore these dead bodies to life. Then Allah caused him to die and after one hundred years He restored him to life and asked him how long he had tarried. The prophet in answer said he tarried for one day or a part of a day.

But Allah said he tarried for one hundred years.[^2] Whether this prophet is ‘Uzayr or other prophet it is the same, the important matter is the life after death in this world. The Qur’an says: “…so Allah made him die a hundred years, then He raised him up…” B. The Holy Qur’an in Surah Al-Baqarah, No. 2, verse 243 also speaks about another group who, being afraid of death and, with pretext of plague, restrained from going to the Holy War.

They went out of their houses and Allah issued the command of death for them and then they were restored to life. “…Then Allah said to them; ‘Die’ (and they died); then He restored them to life…” C. Again in Surah Al-Baqarah, No. 2, verses 55 and 56, concerning the Children of Israel, we recite that a group of them, after asking Moses for seeing Allah, died because of thunderbolt, and, the Qur’an says: “Then We raised you up after your death in order that haply you might be thankful.” D.

In Surah Al-Ma’idah, No. 5, verse 110, among miracles of Jesus (as) we recite: “…and you did raise the dead (from their graves), by My leave…” This shows that Jesus (as) used to use this miracle of his repeatedly to raise the dead, and this is counted as a kind of /raj‘at/ for some men. E.
