Surah Qaf: Allah’s First Creation Proves the Second Creation or Afterlife

In the name of God, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy

Qaf

By the glorious Quran. But the disbelievers are amazed that a warner has come from among them and they say, ‘How strange! To come back [to life] after we have died and become dust? That is too far-fetched.’ We know very well what the earth takes away from them: We keep a comprehensive record. But the disbelievers deny the truth when it comes to them; they are in a state of confusion.

Do they not see the sky above them––how We have built and adorned it, with no rifts in it; how We spread out the earth and put solid mountains on it, and caused every kind of joyous plant to grow in it, as a lesson and reminder for every servant who turns to God; and how We send blessed water down from the sky and grow with it gardens, the harvest grain, and tall palm trees laden with clusters of dates, as a provision for everyone; how with water We give [new] life to a land that is dead? This is how the dead will emerge [from their graves]. The people of Noah disbelieved long before these disbelievers, as did the people of Rass, Thamud, Ad, Pharaoh, Lot, the Forest-Dwellers, Tubba: all of these people disbelieved their messengers, and so My warning was realized.

So were We incapable of the first creation? No indeed! Yet they doubt a second creation. We created man––We know what his soul whispers to him: We are closer to him than his jugular vein––with two receptors set to record, one on his right side and one on his left: he does not utter a single word without an ever-present watcher. The trance of death will bring the Truth with it: ‘This is what you tried to escape.’ (Al Quran 50:1-19)
