Using various questions...

Using various questions, they endeavor to show that the issue of renewed life and return to God is irrational.[^2] In addition, they sometimes slander the prophets and divine representatives who inform people of the resurrection and they call them mad or liars[^3], or they regard the tenet of resurrection a superstitious myth.[^4] On the other hand, many verses state that refutation of resurrection is an untrue and baseless assumption and is not grounded on logical foundations: “And they say, ‘there is nothing but our worldly lives; we die and we live and nothing but time annihilates us’ and they have no knowledge of this; they merely assume.

And when Our clear signs are recited unto them, their only argument is that they say, ‘Bring us our fathers if you speak truly.’”[^5] In the first verse, after indicating the claim of the deniers of resurrection, it is lucidly stated that this claim is not based on knowledge, but originates only from speculation and conjecture.

In the second verse, it is stated that when faced with rational arguments for the resurrection and Ākhirat life, deniers attempt to justify themselves with an unfounded rationale. The say, “Raise our ancestors in order that we accept the resurrection.”[^6] 2.

Creation of the First Human Contemplation of the primary genesis of humanity facilitates accepting the Resurrection since God who created humans in the first place is surely able to revive them: ﴿و هو الذي يبدء الخلق ثم يعيده و هو أهون عليه﴾ “And He is the one who originates Creation then renews it and this is easier for Him.” [^7] ﴿قل يحييها الذي انشأها اوّل مرّة﴾ “Say, ‘He shall resurrect them who originated them the first time.” [^8] As stated by the Qur’an, human Ākhirat life is like a new creation and He who was able to create humans in the first place is also able to recreate them.

Nonetheless, deniers of Resurrection doubt the recreation even though they accept the original creation![^9] ﴿افعيينا بالخلق الاوّل بل هم في لبس من خلق جديد﴾ “Have We been wearied by the first creation? [Indeed not]; however, they doubt the new creation.” [^10] Yea, little thought regarding our original creation is enough to make us fathom the possibility of our renewed life after death and resolve all doubts.

﴿يا ايّها الناس ان كنتم في ريب من البعث فانّا خلقناكم من تراب ثمّ من نطفة...﴾ “O people! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection, hence [know] We have created you from dust then from sperm…” [^11] 3.
