“O men! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection (of
creatures on the Day of Judgment), (consider the process
of the development of men), remember that We first
created you from dust, then from a life germ, then from
a clot, and then from a lump of flesh partly formed and
partly unformed; (We made it as such) so that We might
manifest to you (Our Power). And We cause to remain in
the wombs (of pregnant women) whatever We please for
an appointed term, and then We bring you forth as
infants, that you may grow up and reach your prime.
(However) some of you die (young), and some live on to
abject old age ceasing to know anything of what once he
knew so well. And (one more evidence) you see the
earth dry and barren: but no sooner do We send down
rain upon it than it begins to stir (with sprouting plants)
and swell, putting forth every kind of lovely plant!”.

“(Both of) these prove that Allah is the One True God
(worthy of worship), for He gives life to the dead, and
has power over all things. And the Hour of Doom is sure
to come - in this there is no doubt. And truly Allah will
raise (to life) those in the graves. And yet, among men,
there are some who dispute about Allah, though they
have neither knowledge nor guidance nor a Book
revealed by Allah illuminating the truth. He, disputing,
bending his side in scorn to lead others astray from the
path of Allah, for him is disgrace in this life and on the
Day of Resurrection We shall make him taste the torment
of burning Hell fire. (It will be said to him): ‘This is an
outcome of the deeds your own hands have sent forth,
for Allah is never unjust to His servants’”.

“And, among men, there are some who worship Allah


with an attitude and position of instability (on the
borderline), that is, when blessed with good fortune he
is content with it, but when an ordeal befalls him he
turns around (to unbelief). (With this attitude) he forfeits
this life and the Hereafter. That is such an evident loss.
He calls on, besides Allah, that which can neither harm
nor help him. That is straying far indeed (from the Way).
He calls on and worships one that is far more likely to
cause harm than benefit - evil indeed is such a patron,
and evil indeed such a friend. Indeed those who have
faith and do good works, Allah will admit them to
Gardens underneath which rivers flow. Indeed Allah does
what He pleases”.

About the Āyāt…
• The āyāt reminded us about
the Day of Judgement and
the facts that Allah
subḥānahu wa ta‘ālā is the
One who created human
being and He can bring
human being back to life on
the Day of Judgement.
• Types of human beings and
their situations in this world
and in the Hereafter:
1. Disbelievers: (22: 8-10)
2. Hypocrites: (22: 11-13)
3. Believers: (22: 14)

Other Values from the Story
• The Truth is the only Eternal
– Allah subḥānahu wa ta‘ālā confirms
that He is the only One who could
resurrect us in the Day of
Judgement. Allah is firm in all His
Judgement.
– While He confirms that there are
types of human being resurrected
such as the Disbeliever, the
Hypocrites and the Believer, it is
human who choose what they will
be.
• Be firm in our Iman.
– Always do good deeds.
– Tests of this world should bring us
closer to Allah and not farther from
Him.
