Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Faith of the Imamiyyah Shi'ah Part 5: Eschatology Our Doctrines Concerning: • Resurrection and Final Assemblage • Somatic Resurrection Resurrection and Final Assemblage We believe that Almighty Allah will resurrect people after their death on the day that He has promised so as to reward the obedient and punish the disobedient.

All Divine religions and philosophers have unanimously agreed upon this matter; therefore, a Muslim has no alternative but to profess this belief on the strength of its being a Qur'anic belief conveyed to us by the Holy Prophet (s).

In view of that, he who believes in Almighty Allah decisively and believes in Muhammad (s) as His Messenger whom He has sent with true guidance and the Religion of Truth, must believe in what has been conveyed by the Holy Qur'an, such as the Resurrection, Reward and Punishment, Paradise and Bliss, Fire and Hell. The Holy Qur'an has, both openly and suggestively, declared this in about one thousand verses.

If one merely doubts this belief, he surely doubts the Bearer of the Mission or doubts the existence and power of the Creator of all beings. Moreover, to doubt the Resurrection comes from suspecting the origin of all religions and the authenticity of all Divine codes of law.If one merely doubts this belief, he surely doubts the Bearer of the Mission or doubts the existence and power of the Creator of all beings.

Moreover, to doubt the Resurrection comes from suspecting the origin of all religions and the authenticity of all Divine codes of law. Somatic Resurrection The belief in somatic resurrection (after death) is one of the fundamentals of Islam to which the Holy Qur'an has referred openly: أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَلَّنْ نَجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ بَلَىٰ قَادِرِينَ عَلَىٰ أَنْ نُسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُ What! Does man reckon We shall not gather his bones? Yes, indeed, We are able to shape again his fingertips.

(75/3-4) أَفَعَيِينَا بِالْخَلْقِ الْأَوَّلِ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِي لَبْسٍ مِنْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ Were We then fatigued with the first creation? Yet are they in doubt with regard to a new creation. (50/15) To state it succinctly, somatic resurrection is no more than that man's terrestrial body will be revived, on the Day of Resurrection, after having been destroyed, and it will return to its first form after it has turned to dust in the earth.
