Thumma itha shaa ansharah (surah Abasa: 22)

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(80:22) and then, whenever He wishes, He will raise him back to life. *15

Thumma iza shaa-a ansharah

*15) That is, he does not either have the power to refuse to rise up when the Creator may will to resurrect him after death. When he was first created, he was not consulted: he was not asked whether he wanted to be created or not. Even if he had refused, he would have been created. Likewise, his resurrection also is not dependent upon his will and assent that he may rise from death if he so likes, or refuse to rise if he does not like. In this matter also he is absolutely helpless before the Creator's will. Whenever He wills He will resurrect him, and he will have to rise whether he likes it or not.
