30:56 - But those endued with knowledge and faith will say: "Indeed ye did tarry within Allah's
Decree to the Day of Resurrection and this is the Day of Resurrection: but ye ye were not
aware!" 3574
3574 The men of knowledge and faith knew all along of the true values-of the things of this ephemeral life and the things
that will endure and face them at the End,-unlike the wrong-doers who were content with falsehoods and were taken
by surprise, like ignorant men, when they faced the Realities. (30.56)
35:8 - It is Allah Who sends forth the Winds so that they raise up the Clouds and We drive them to a
Land that is dead and revive the earth therewith after its death: even so (will be) the Resurrection!
3881
3881 The allegory here is double. (1) Dry, unpromising soil may seem to all intents and purposes dead; there is no source of
water near; moisture is sucked up by the sun's heat in a far-off ocean, and clouds are formed; winds arise; it seems as if the
wind "bloweth as it listeth", but it is really Allah's Providence that drives it to the dead land; the rain falls, and behold! there is
life and motion and beauty everywhere! So in the spiritual world, Allah's Revelation is His Mercy and His Rain; there may be
the individual resurrection (Nushur) or unfolding of a soul. (2) So again, may be the general Resurrection (Nushur), the
unfolding of a new World in the Hereafter, out of an old World that is folded up and dead (Takwir, S. lxxxi). (35.9)
37:144 - He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection. 4125
4125 This is just the idiom. This was to be the burial and the grave of Jonah. If he had not repented, he could not have got
out of the body of the creature that had swallowed him, until the Day of Resurrection, when all the dead would be
raised up. (37.144)
39:68 - The Trumpet will (just) be sounded when all that are in the heavens and on earth will swoon
except such as it will please Allah (to exempt). Then will a second one be sounded when behold
they will be standing and looking on! 4343
4343 Saiqa implies the idea of a swoon, or loss of all consciousness of being: it implies a cessation of the normal
functioning of the usual powers of life or feeling. With the first Trumpet of the Resurrection the whole world will cease
to be in the form and the relations which we see now: there will be a new heaven and a new earth, see xiv. 48, n.
1925; human souls will for the time being be dazed and lose all memory or consciousness of time or place or
personality. With the second one, they will stand in a new world; they will see with clearer vision than ever before; and
judgment will proceed. (39.68)
40:16 - The Day whereon they will (all) come forth: Not a single thing concerning them is hidden
from Allah. Whose will be the dominion that Day? That of Allah the One the Irresistible! 4379
4379 The Kingdom of Allah-of Justice, Truth, and Righteousness-will then be fully established. Evil can then no more come
into competition with Good, even in the subjective consciousness of man. (40.16)
46:33 - See they not that Allah Who created the heavens and the earth and never wearied with
their creation is able to give life to the dead? Yea verily He has power over all things. 4812
4812 Cf. ii. 255 (Verse of the Throne): "His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in
guarding and preserving them." He Whose power is constant and unwearied in creating and preserving all things in
heaven and earth can surely give life to the dead at the Resurrection. (46.33)
50:3 - "What! when we die and become dust (shall we live again?). That is a (sort of) Return far
(from our understanding)." 4942
50:21 - And there will come forth every soul: with each will be an (angel) to drive and an (angel) to
bear witness. 4957
4957 Several interpretations are possible, leading to the same truth, that the Judgment will be set up; the Record will be
produced; the good and bad deeds will speak for and against; and complete justice will be done, each act leading to
its own due fruit. (1) The (angel) to drive and the (angel) to bear witness may be the Recording Angels of the left and
the right (verse 17); or (2) it may not be angels, but the evil deeds will drive like task-masters, and the good deeds will
bear witness for the soul on trial; or (3) his misused limbs and faculties will drive him to his doom, while his well-used
limbs and faculties will witness for him. (50.21)
67:15 - It is He Who has made the earth manageable for you so traverse ye through its tracts and
enjoy of the Sustenance which He furnishes: but unto Him is the Resurrection. 55715572
5572 In describing Allah's gifts and mercies and watchful care in this our temporary sojourn on this earth, it is made clear
that the ultimate end is the Hereafter. The real Beyond, which is the goal, is the life after the Resurrection. (67.15)
75:1 - I do call to witness the Resurrection Day; 5809
