Resurrection (Al-Ba'th) in the Holy Quran

(28) How can you disbelieve in Allah when you were lifeless and He brought you to life; then He will cause you to die, then He will bring you [back] to life, and then to Him you will be returned.

(56) Then We revived you after your death that perhaps you would be grateful.

(243) Have you not considered those who left their homes in many thousands, fearing death? Allah said to them, "Die"; then He restored them to life. And Allah is full of bounty to the people, but most of the people do not show gratitude.

(259) Or [consider such an example] as the one who passed by a township which had fallen into ruin. He said, "How will Allah bring this to life after its death?" So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years; then He revived him. He said, "How long have you remained?" The man said, "I have remained a day or part of a day." He said, "Rather, you have remained one hundred years. Look at your food and your drink; it has not changed with time. And look at your donkey; and We will make you a sign for the people. And look at the bones [of this donkey] - how We raise them and then We cover them with flesh." And when it became clear to him, he said, "I know that Allah is over all things competent."

(260) And [mention] when Abraham said, "My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead." [Allah] said, "Have you not believed?" He said, "Yes, but [I ask] only that my heart may be satisfied." [Allah] said, "Take four birds and commit them to yourself. Then [after slaughtering them] put on each hill a portion of them; then call them - they will come [flying] to you in haste. And know that Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise."

(36) Only those who hear will respond. But the dead - Allah will resurrect them; then to Him they will be returned.

(14) [Satan] said, "Reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."

(57) And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy until, when they have carried heavy rainclouds, We drive them to a dead land and We send down rain therein and bring forth thereby [some] of all the fruits. Thus will We bring forth the dead; perhaps you may be reminded.

(167) And [mention] when your Lord declared that He would surely [continue to] send upon them until the Day of Resurrection those who would afflict them with the worst torment. Indeed, your Lord is swift in penalty; but indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful.

(7) And it is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days - and His Throne had been upon water - that He might test you as to which of you is best in deed. But if you say, "Indeed, you are resurrected after death," those who disbelieve will surely say, "This is not but obvious magic."

(5) And if you are astonished, [O Muhammad] - then astonishing is their saying, "When we are dust, will we indeed be [brought] into a new creation?" Those are the ones who have disbelieved in their Lord, and those will have shackles upon their necks, and those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.

(36) He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."

(21) They are, [in fact], dead, not alive, and they do not perceive when they will be resurrected.

(38) And they swear by Allah their strongest oaths [that] Allah will not resurrect one who dies. But yes - [it is] a true promise [binding] upon Him, but most of the people do not know.

(49) And they say, "When we are bones and crumbled particles, will we [truly] be resurrected as a new creation?"

(50) Say, "Be you stones or iron

(51) Or [any] creation of that which is great within your breasts." And they will say, "Who will restore us?" Say, "He who brought you forth the first time." Then they will nod their heads toward you and say, "When is that?" Say, "Perhaps it will be soon -

(98) That is their recompense because they disbelieved in Our verses and said, "When we are bones and crumbled particles, will we [truly] be resurrected [in] a new creation?"

(19) And similarly, We awakened them that they might question one another. Said a speaker from among them, "How long have you remained [here]?" They said, "We have remained a day or part of a day." They said, "Your Lord is most knowing of how long you remained. So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the city and let him look to which is the best of food and bring you provision from it and let him be cautious. And let no one be aware of you.

(15) And peace be upon him the day he was born and the day he dies and the day he is raised alive.

(33) And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive."

(66) And the disbeliever says, "When I have died, am I going to be brought forth alive?"

(55) From the earth We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will extract you another time.

(5) O People, if you should be in doubt about the Resurrection, then [consider that] indeed, We created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot, and then from a lump of flesh, formed and unformed - that We may show you. And We settle in the wombs whom We will for a specified term, then We bring you out as a child, and then [We develop you] that you may reach your [time of] maturity. And among you is he who is taken in [early] death, and among you is he who is returned to the most decrepit [old] age so that he knows, after [once having] knowledge, nothing. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and swells and grows [something] of every beautiful kind.

(7) And [that they may know] that the Hour is coming - no doubt about it - and that Allah will resurrect those in the graves.

(16) Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, will be resurrected.

(37) Life is not but our worldly life - we die and live, but we will not be resurrected.

(82) They said, "When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

(100) That I might do righteousness in that which I left behind." No! It is only a word he is saying; and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected.

(87) And do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected -

(56) But those who were given knowledge and faith will say, "You remained the extent of Allah 's decree until the Day of Resurrection, and this is the Day of Resurrection, but you did not used to know."

(28) Your creation and your resurrection will not be but as that of a single soul. Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Seeing.

(9) And it is Allah who sends the winds, and they stir the clouds, and We drive them to a dead land and give life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness. Thus is the resurrection.

(33) And a sign for them is the dead earth. We have brought it to life and brought forth from it grain, and from it they eat.

(79) Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing."

(83) So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned.

(16) When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

(144) He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.

(39) [We said], "This is Our gift, so grant or withhold without account."

(39) And of His signs is that you see the earth stilled, but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and grows. Indeed, He who has given it life is the Giver of Life to the dead. Indeed, He is over all things competent.

(9) Or have they taken protectors [or allies] besides him? But Allah - He is the Protector, and He gives life to the dead, and He is over all things competent.

(29) And of his signs is the creation of the heavens and earth and what He has dispersed throughout them of creatures. And He, for gathering them when He wills, is competent.

(15) Did We fail in the first creation? But they are in confusion over a new creation.

(47) And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

(72) Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?

(6) On the Day when Allah will resurrect them all and inform them of what they did. Allah had enumerated it, while they forgot it; and Allah is, over all things, Witness.

(18) On the Day Allah will resurrect them all, and they will swear to Him as they swear to you and think that they are [standing] on something. Unquestionably, it is they who are the liars.

(7) Those who disbelieve have claimed that they will never be resurrected. Say, "Yes, by my Lord, you will surely be resurrected; then you will surely be informed of what you did. And that, for Allah, is easy."

(7) And they had thought, as you thought, that Allah would never send anyone [as a messenger].

(3) Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?

(4) Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.

(36) Does man think that he will be left neglected?

(40) Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?

(4) Do they not think that they will be resurrected
