Surah Al Waqiah Tafseer

Proof that Resurrection will occur

Allah asserts that Resurrection will occur and refutes the misguided atheists who deny it, those who said,

أَيِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَيِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُون

(When we die and become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be resurrected?)

They said this statement in denial and discounting Resurrection.

Allah the Exalted said,

نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاكُمْ

We created you,

meaning, `We have created you after you were nothing. Therefore, is not that Who is able to start the creation, more able to bring it back'

Allah's statement,

فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ

then why do you believe not?

`why do you not then believe in Resurrection?'

Then Allah said, while bringing forth evidence that Resurrection occurs,

أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ
