Tafsir

The Certainty of Life after Death

Allah says:

فَاسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَهُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَم مَّنۡ خَلَقۡنَا

Then ask them:Are they harder to create, or those whom We have created!

Allah says:`Ask these people, those who deny the resurrection, which is harder to create? Are they more difficult to create or the heavens, the earth, the angels, devils, the mighty creatures -- everything in between them!'

Ibn Mas`ud said that they admitted that these things were harder to create than they were. If this is the case, then why do they deny the resurrection, when they see things that are greater than that which they deny?

As Allah says:

لَخَلۡقُ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرۡضِ أَكۡـبَرُ مِنۡ خَلۡقِ النَّاسِ وَلَـكِنَّ أَكۡـثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ

The creation of the heavens and the earth is indeed greater than the creation of mankind; yet, most of mankind know not. (40:57)

Then Allah explains that they were created from something weak, as He says:

إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَاهُم مِّن طِينٍ لاَّزِبٍ

Verily, We created them of a sticky clay.

Mujahid, Sa`id bin Jubayr and Ad-Dahhak said,

This is the useful kind of mud which sticks to itself.

Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, and Ikrimah said,

It is sticky and useful.

Qatadah said,

It is that which sticks to the hand.

بَلۡ عَجِبۡتَ وَيَسۡخَرُونَ

Nay, you wondered while they mock.

means, `you were astounded, O Muhammad, at these people who denied the resurrection whilst you were certain that it is true, when they disbelieved in what Allah told you of this wondrous matter, which is the re-creation of their bodies after they have disintegrated. They oppose what you say because of their intense disbelief and they make fun of what you tell them about that.'

Qatadah said,

Muhammad was astounded by the mockery of the misguided ones among the sons of Adam.

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا لَاإ يَذۡكُرُونَ

And when they are reminded, they pay no attention

وَإِذَا رَأَوۡا ايَةً

And when they see an Ayah.

means, clear evidence and proof,

يَسۡتَسۡخِرُونَ

they mock at it.

Mujahid and Qatadah said,

They make fun of it.

وَقَالُوا إِنۡ هَذَا إِلاَّ سِحۡرٌ مُّبِينٌ

And they say:This is nothing but evident magic!

means, `this that you have brought is nothing but plain magic.'

أَيِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَيِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ

أَوَابَاوُنَا الاَۡوَّلُونَ

When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we (then) verily be resurrected? And also our fathers of old!

They thought that this was unlikely to happen, and they did not believe it.

قُلۡ نَعَمۡ وَأَنتُمۡ دَاخِرُونَ

Say:Yes, and you shall then be humiliated.

means, `tell them, O Muhammad:Yes, you will be raised up on the Day of Resurrection, after you have become dust and bones, and you will be humiliated,' i.e., put to shame before His great might.

This is like the Ayat:

وَكُلٌّ أَتَوۡهُ دَخِرِينَ

And all shall come to Him, humbled, (27:87)

and,

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ عَنۡ عِبَادَتِى سَيَدۡخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَخِرِينَ

Verily, those who scorn My worship, they will surely enter Hell in humiliation! (40:60)

Then Allah says:

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ

It will be a single Zajrah, and behold, they will be staring!

means, it will be a single command from Allah, He will call them once to come forth from the earth, then they will be standing before Him, staring at the horrors of the Day of Resurrection.

And Allah knows best.
