The Day of
Resurrection - Revival to Life.
 : The Day of Accountability and
Judicial Verdict - Reward and Punishment is described by:
The Day of
Resurrection - Revival to Life:
 
-
Ieb'lees requested, "Your
Majesty grant me respite until the Day they will be Revived/ Resurrected." [7:14]
-
Allah the Exalted said, "Indeed you are given
respite [until the Day of an appointed Time]" [7:15]
 
 
-
He the Exalted said, "Then you get out of it whereby indeed you are permanently
discarded one;
[15:34; replica 38:77]
-
And indeed
curse and condemnation will hover upon you until the Day of Judgment." [15:35]
 
 
 
-
Allah the Exalted said, "your request is indeed acceded,
you are reprieved—[15:37; replica 38:80]
-
Until the Day of
the appointed- determined Time and Date." [15:38; replica
38:81]
=
 =
  —The
Day of Judgment and Requital = the day they will be revived to life
- resurrected = the day of the appointed - determined Time and Date.
The
Root of verb and its verbal noun:
بَعْثٌ is:
ب ع ث. It signifies the removing of that thing which restrains one from free
action. The restraining of free action makes things dormant, static,
heedless, negligent, unmindful, captivated; deep unconsciousness and in
its extreme meanings death, which converts the living into matter that
is fond of inertia [unwillingness to move or act, property of matter to
hate and resist to change from outside disturbing its rest or continuous
moving in one manner]. Removing of the restraint implies and results in
the revival, which is the basic concept folded in this Arabic Root.
Therefore all the words taking birth from this Root will share this basic concept in whatever manner they are shaped and employed
in a sentence. And its words must have a relation with the restraint
that restrained the free action.
We can describe its Semantic field: Awakening -
Resurrection - Rejuvenation.
The perception of Root is rendered explicit at the place
of its very first occurrence:
 
-
Moreover, recall
that point in time when you had said: "O
Mūsā!
We will not accept your word till
such time that we might see Allah the Exalted, manifestly with naked eye".
-
Thereupon, the thunder storm
seized you people—
-
While you were continuously observing it. [2:55]
 
-
Afterwards, We revived you
people to life after your natural death.
-
It was likely that you people
might acknowledge and express praises-thanks. [2:56]
Here the restraint that restrained the free
action was death caused by lightening, which they had seen when it
seized them. They were conscious what had happened with them. Therefore,
it is obvious that in relation to death the meaning of بَعْثٌ are reviving life, raising alive. Reviving after
death is giving them life and the purpose reconfirms since gratefulness
is expected only from the living ones.
What is the basic difference between life and
death? Only restraint of free action or something more!
An example has been given about an incidence a man faced while traveling on a donkey
where this Root is used second time in the meanings of reviving dead to
life:
 
-
Or have you given a thought
about that man who while journeying arrived near a township which was
in devastated-depopulated state.
-
He pondered-questioned
himself; "What would be the mode and manner when Allah the Exalted will revive-resurrect this township
after its death?"
-
Thereby, responding his curiosity, Allah the Exalted caused his
death
for a period of hundred years and afterwards He the Exalted revived him to life.
-
He asked: "How long
a period have you
stayed here?".
-
He replied: "I
stayed here for a day or may be only a part of it".
-
Allah the Exalted told him:
"No, your assessment is not correct; the fact is that you have
stayed for a period of hundred solar years.
-
Therefore, to perceive
phenomenon of resurrection,
you look at your food and drink; it has not yet become worsened.
-
And look towards your donkey
only to find it just as crumbled-decayed bones-
-
Be
informed that the purpose of all this is to render you a demonstrative Sign for
the people to perceive and
understand death and resurrection;
-
And keep eye on the bones to
see how We raise them as skeleton and afterwards garb them; covered with
flesh".
-
Thereby, when the
resurrection phenomenon became self evident for him on watching demonstration
of revival of
decayed bones in living donkey of him, he said;
-
"I have
the absolute knowledge that Allah
the Exalted has indeed
eternally infinite power-command and
control over each and all things".
[2:259]
This man did not pass by the ruins
of a township in a neglectful manner. He reflected, and posed to
himself a question as to what might be the way Allah the Exalted will raise this
after its death. This is called:تفكر—desire to know the mode of a reality. He was made to die to answer his
query. After hundred years, he was revived. On resurrection, he was asked to tell the
time he had stayed nearby that ruined town. His answer was that it was
just a day or some part of it. He did not lie; it was his
opinion/perception, since perception of time depends on the recording of
events one after the other, the last event immediately before his death
was in his mind. On revival of life many would have the
same perception. He spoke the guessed idea/perception. But that was not the
reality. He was told that he had stayed there for one hundred years; and
to comprehend that he was asked to look at his food and drink, which did
not show any sign of aging. He was further asked to look at his donkey
which were nothing but old bones. According to the perception/knowledge
of the man, absence of any aging sign on food and drink would have
supported his estimate of time, since he could not recognize the bones of
his donkey and could think that during sleep donkey might have had gone
somewhere. Now if the same bones in front of his eyes are raised as
donkey, and he recognized his donkey it would have become clear to him
that he had stayed there for 100 years in dead state. He was asked to keep eye on the
bones and see them getting together as skeleton and then flesh appeared
on it; and he recognized his donkey which made things distinct to him.
The major difference between matter and life is
the perception of time, fourth dimension of the universe.
Perception of time is dependent upon activity/movement/change of
surroundings and its persistent and constant recording on the memory of
human beings. Death stops the time for the dead since the faculty of
hearing and seeing are restrained by death. Hearing and seeing keep
recording things in the memory which create perception of time. Life has
but matter
does not have perception of time. By quoting this incidence, information has been
given that food and drinks can be saved for hundred years without
deterioration/signs of aging.
The purpose was to make this man:
 a
piece of information/knowledge for people to understand the matter and
life; and death and life. It may be of interest that in the creation of
human being also, it is the bones which are developed first and then
flesh is clothed on them.
The cohesion and coherence in Grand
Qur'aan is superb. A real-life event when a certain man was revived to
life after hundred years of his death is stated to have been mentioned
for making it a sign for people to understand the phenomenon of reviving
life. It conjuncts to the information when this word is used for the
third time:
 
They are the people who respond not to the signs because
they comprehensibly listen not and behave as if they are already dead.
-
It is a fact that
only such people reasonably-rationally answer-respond who
listen comprehensibly.
-
And as for
the dead
are concerned,
Allah the Exalted will revive-resurrect them.
-
Thereafter, by lapse of
time
they will be forced
towards Him the Exalted.
[6:36]
Verbal information is saved in the memory only when we consciously and
attentively listen and comprehend the message. It enables
analysis-perception and safe storage. It happens only if the listener
has such intention and desire.
Otherwise it is mere "hearing sound-noise" or a momentary
storage in the memory of Ears only to get lost in few seconds.
Grand Qur'aan intermittently evocates the painful end
of civilizations of the past and imminent threats of awful
phenomenon present in the nature around the people and in the life
Hereafter. And it elaborates the painful consequences of certain
acts that are bound to happen in future.
Fear is a fundamental aspect of survival. All living
has to protect themselves from dangerous situations in order to
survive. Fear is an ability to recognize or perceive danger
resulting in urge to confront it or flee from it or a freeze or
paralysis response is possible. The Survival Brain - Stem brain
reacts to danger and threats of imminent danger. Brain
death occurs when a person no longer has any activity in their brain
stem and no potential for consciousness, even though their heart
kept beating and oxygen circulating through their blood.
As stated earlier the Root of:
بَعْثٌ
signifies the removing of that thing which
restrains one from free action. The sleep renders a man inactive to
exercise free will and action. His free will and ability to act is
revived on awakening:
 
-
And He the Exalted is the One who segregates-alienates you people
of company of others during sleep
in the night;
-
And He the Exalted has complete
knowledge about that which you earned by the day.
-
Thereafter,
He the Exalted
keeps reviving you in it (the day time); this process continues
so that the determined duration might reach the appointed moment.
-
Thereafter
lapse of determined time,
the return/marching of you people,
on the
Day of Resurrection,
will be towards Him the Exalted.
-
Thereafter, He will remind/tell you what deliberate acts
you people had been doing." [6:60]
A real-life event is also mentioned about certain young
men who were made to experience deep sleep for a very long time and were
then revived to consciousness:
 
 
 
-
Did you consider the
companions in certain Cave and residents of Raqeem were manifestly astounding in Our
existent phenomena?
-
When a group of young boys
took refuge towards certain Cave, thereby they prayed, "Our
Sustainer Lord! do grant us Mercy from Your Grace;
-
And do facilitate for us in
our matter to remain steadfast and firm to our resolve,"
[18:10]
-
Thereupon, We
struck a veil-partition-barrier upon
their Ears-listening faculty
in the Cave for a
number of years. [18:11]
-
Afterwards a number of years, Our Majesty revived them to original position so
that We may make evident which of the two parties better comprehended
the period of time they stayed.
[remained
sleeping].
[18:12]
These young and determined
Muslims had taken refuge in the Cave. Therein they did not die. They were
during all that long period in a state of deep sleep, resembling coma.
Thereafter, on revival to their original state, they had the perception
of time as of a part of a day, indicating that nothing was in their
memory about the intervening period/time, since the perception of time
is dependant upon continuous recording of sounds and visuals in the
memory.
Here the object of the verb is omitted but the effected thing is
indicated, "Upon their Ears"; reflecting thereby that a
veil-partition-barrier was made to emerge causing them to become
unconscious of the sounds in the surroundings. The Ears are such organ of human body that keep functioning during sleep
and keep conveying sounds to the brain, which remain under analysis.
 
-
And you
would have deemed them awake but the fact is they were deep asleep -
comatose;
-
And Our Majesty kept turning them on their right and left sides.
-
And their dog was
lying in condition stretching his
two forelegs at the entrance.
-
If you had looked upon them
you would have certainly turned away from them running; and you would
have been impressed from them terrifyingly. [18:18]
Comatose persons exhibit
complete absence of wakefulness and are unable to
consciously feel, speak, hear, or move.
In such condition the comatose can develop bed sores
— also called pressure ulcers and decubitus ulcers — are injuries to
skin and underlying tissue from prolonged pressure on the skin.
It is, therefore, necessary that their sides are kept turning to avoid
bed sores. Their perception about time-lapse was no different:
 
-
And for this We revived them to their
original state so that they may question among themselves.
-
One of the participant
of talk asked, "How long have you stayed here?"
-
Some of them replied, "We have stayed for a
day or just a part of a day."
-
Others said"
[Don't be conjectural]
Your Sustainer Lord fully knows how long you have stayed here.
-
Therefore send one of you
with this coin of yours towards the city, then let him see which of the
meal is purer/nutritious;
-
Whereby let him bring eatable
provision from that; and let he be cautious and neither should he let
anyone have clue about you. [18:19]
For further study the Ayahs are reproduced hereunder
where the phenomenon of resurrection is mentioned:
-
Ieb'lees requested, "Your
Majesty grant me respite up
till the Day they will be Revived/ Resurrected" [7:14]
-
Allah the Exalted said, "Indeed you are given
respite [until the Day of an appointed Time]" [7:15]
 
-
Moreover, He the Exalted is
the One Who created the Skies and the Earth in a time duration of six days
[time reckoned in outside this/your universe].
-
And His Throne, the Seat of
Supreme Sovereignty, is located above the Water.
-
The purpose and consideration on the back of this creative activity was that He
the Exalted might expose,
by subjecting to a test, as to who amongst you people is more
appropriate-balanced-beautiful-moderate with regard to conduct, behaviour and actions.
-
And would you
the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam]
tell them: "It is a fact that you
people will be resurrected after the death":
-
Those who have
refused to accept would certainly say:
"This proposition is not but
evidently illusory perception." [11:07]
 
 
-
Realize it, those whom they people
call besides Allah the Exalted, they absolutely create nothing—
-
While they themselves
are created-shaped-sculpted;
[16:20]
-
They whom people call
godheads are inanimate objects - dead ones, other than vivified -
alive.
-
And neither
they have
consciousness about when they will be reinstated. [16:21]
 
-
And they the
polytheists contested by their
strongest oaths by Allah to convince their
people:
-
"Allah will not revive
him whom He causes to die."
-
No, the fact is opposite;
resurrection
is a promise obligatory upon Him the Exalted to fulfill.
-
But the fact is that most of
the people intend not to understand; [16:38]
-
The purpose is that
He the Exalted may render that explicit for them about which they
are purposely disagreeing;
-
And that they who
have refused
to accept may know and be exposed that indeed they were liars. [16:39]
-
Be
informed that, subject to
Our Majesty
has finalized-decided-completed any matter-thing, individual event,
thereat;
-
We may merely express
verbally for that thing-matter-affair-person, saying; "You become in
evident-tangibly existing state".
-
Resultantly that
[abstract]
thing-matter-affair-person gets physical
execution-appearance-tangibly existing state which can be
known-cognizable by others.
[16:40]
 
 
 
 
-
Know it, they said, "Is it
possible that when we would have become bones and
decayed, disintegrated as crumbled particles, we become revived as
renewed creation?" [17:49]
-
You the Messenger
[Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam]
pronounce: "You will certainly be revived even if you would have become stones or iron; [17:50]
-
Or anything which you
consider adamantine: extremely hard or unyielding in your thoughts."
-
In response to it they will
say, "Who will revert us to original
position?"
-
You the Messenger
[Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam]
pronounce, "He the Exalted
Who
brought you into being in the first place".
-
In response, they will
shake their heads towards you and will say, "When will it
accomplish?"
-
You the Messenger
[Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam]
pronounce, "It might have come nearer; [17:51]
-
Be mindful, the Day He
the Exalted will call you, thereat,
you people will reflexively respond by His glorifying praise;
-
And you people will guess
that you lived in dead state but for a little while."
[17:52]
 
-
This is their penalty because they persistently
kept denying Our Aa'ya'at: Verbal passages of book
-
And because they said, "Is it
plausible that when we would have become bones and
decayed and disintegrated as crumbled particles would we be revived as
renewed creation?" [17:98]
 
- Moreover, tranquility
and safety is
ensured upon me, the day I was born, and the day
I am caused to die natural death, and the Day I am
resurrected as living being." [19:33]
-
O you the humanity!
Listen;
If you people are in irritating confusion about the
resurrection—revival of life:
-
Then why don't you reflect on origin of life;
Our Majesty indeed created you people initially from clay;
-
Afterwards, We created you
from a segment of single sperm;
-
Afterwards from the
joined, implanted/clung clot [zygote-Greek "zogotus" meaning "joined"];
-
Afterwards from chewed like
morsel of flesh; which is of two types, one made to be created
[the zygote joined with womb's wall]
and the other opposite of that which is created [the zygote joined with
fallopian tube wall-ectopic pregnancy, not to be created but to scatter]; so that We might make manifest for you
[that only that gets created whom We wish to
create].
-
And We implant-make those reside in the wombs whom We so will, towards a determined
length of time with appointed termination moment.
-
Afterwards the lapse of appointed duration
We discharge you as an infant.
-
Afterwards, so that you people
might cross over to your strengthen maturity.
-
Thereat, there is someone
of strengthen maturity existing amongst you
who is alienated
[because of natural death, murder or alive who is
killed in Allah's cause].
-
However, there is someone
existing
amongst you who is made to progressively return backwards to
the most dependent-feeble of the period of
life-nethermost-non verbal infancy;
-
So that henceforth he might not trace/separate/locate/acknowledge
something after having attained knowledge.
-
Realize it that you see
certain Soil giving
look of sterile-cracked-compacted and still; Thereat,
when We sent upon her water, she
became thrilled
and she swelled;
[These are not literary expressions but
narration of physical facts-Grand Qur'aan is a statement of absolute
fact.]
-
And thereby she produced- sprouted
every kind of beautiful species of plants. [22:05]
-
And indeed the [determined terminating] Final
Moment
is certainly coming.
-
And that regards the Final
Moment there is absolutely nothing uncertain and perplexing therein.
-
And that Allah the Exalted will revive to life whoever is
in the graves [underneath the Earth]. [22:07]
 
-
Afterwards, lapse of respective period of
life, indeed you people will certainly be naturally dead. [23:15]
-
Afterwards, lapse of appointed duration
with determined terminating moment,
indeed you people will be revived
to life - resurrected on the Day of Judgment. [23:16]
-
Does he promise to you that
when you would have died and had become dust and bones you people
will indeed be brought out? [23:35]
-
Far fetched, far off is the
possibility for that which you people are being promised;
[23:36]
-
Indeed there is no life except our life of this world;
we die and we live
[only once
here]
-
And hence we will certainly never be revived and resurrected to life."
[23:37]
 
 
 
-
No, the
fact is that they have said resembling what earlier peoples
[scholars/elite] had said. [23:81]
-
They posed to people, "Is it
possible that when we would have died and would have become dust and bones: are
we certainly going to be revived/resurrected? [23:82]
-
Indeed We were given this promise, We
and our forefathers, earlier also,
-
This: Qur'aan
is
nothing but compilation of the tales of ancients." [23:83]
 
 
-
The evil-ones keep deflecting and
conjecturing—Until when the death had
made someone of them deceased, he [having
been given second life] said, "My Sustainer Lord!
Do return me— [23:99]
-
Therein which I have since left so that I might
perform acts of righteous import." [He said about
acts only since before dying he had already declared to have believed]
-
No question of return to worldly
life;
indeed it is merely a sentence, he is mutterer of it,
-
Know it, a barrier is ahead of them
that will remain placed until the Day they will be resurrected. [23:100]
[when they will say complaining
that they were earlier given two lives and two deaths-40:11]
 
 
-
You the Messenger
[Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam]
pronounce declaratively, "Whoever is in the Skies and the Earth
knows not the secreted realities except Allah the Exalted.
-
And they have no
sense/perception as to when they will be revived/resurrected. [27:65]
-
Nay, [how would
they perceive resurrection]
the fact is their knowledge has
not led - persuaded them into the Hereafter;
-
Nay, they never
pursued to comprehend it, on the contrary
they are in skepticism about Hereafter.
[]
-
Nay the skepticism is their apparent
posture,
in fact they are deliberately blind hearted
about it. [for remaining absorbed in worldly interests
and lusts] [27:66]
-
And those who were given the knowledge and the
belief said, "It is certain that you had remained in that state
for a period; written in the Mother/Principal Book in safe custody of
Allah the Exalted, up to the Day of Resurrection,
-
Whereby this is the Day of Resurrection, but
you people remained persistent in not recognizing it" [30:56]
 
-
Neither creation of you people and nor your
revival/resurrection [on the Day of Resurrection] is but like one
individual person.
-
Indeed Allah is eternally the
Hearer [of what is said, at whatever
frequency] and is of Vision
[everything/act
is in His focus]. [31:28]
-
[everyone died and calmness prevailed]
Know it, as soon the second
sound would have been blown in the Trumpet;
-
Thereat, they will be
driven, on emerging from their respective graves, towards their Sustainer Lord.
[36:51]
-
They said, "Woe is for us! Who has revived us
from our graves: sleeping place?
-
This is that which
Ar'Reh'maan
had promised and the Messengers had truthfully affirmed it,"
[36:52]
 
-
And they said,
"this [statement in Qur'aan] is nothing except an
evident illusory lie— [37:15]
- Is it possible that when we would
have died and would have become dust and bones are we certainly going to be
revived/resurrected—[37:16]
-
Or our forefathers of remote earlier
periods?" [37:17]
-
You
the Messenger
[Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam]
pronounce, "Yes, you all will be resurrected, and you people will act humbly and
submissively." [diametrically opposite to present day derisive conduct]
[37:18]
-
Thereat that would only be one
Big/Mighty Bang;
-
Whereupon they
would be revived to life, they watching and waiting; [37:19]
-
And they said, "O! Woe is for us,
this is the Day of Judgment." [37:20]
-
[it will be affirmed, yes]
"This is the Day of Separation/Compartmentalization;
-
The Day which you people kept
contradicting publicly." [37:21]
 
 
-
[Angels who recognize by marks and
signs will be commanded 55:41]
"You collect and
gather those who did wrong and their spouses/likes;
-
And those/sculpted idols which they
worshipped/proclaimed allegiance— [37:22]
 
 
-
[they seized them by their
forelocks and chained their legs, and are heading them towards Hell by slashes on
faces and back] Wait! Stop them stop [on way],
certainly they are to be asked— [this is not
about their crimes-28:78] [37:24]
-
"What is the matter for you people
that you are not mutually helping each other?" [37:25]
 
 
 
-
Thereby, had he not been
of those who
repetitively praise the glory of Allah the Exalted:
[37:143]
-
Certainly he would have remained part/in his belly
[as fossil] until
the Day people will be resurrected/revived. [37:144]
 
 
 
-
and/about which they used to pose
question to people,
-
"Is
it [possible] that when we would have died and would have become dust and bones
are we certainly going to be revived/resurrected? [56:47]
-
Or our forefathers of remote earlier
periods?" [56:48]
-
You the Messenger
[Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam]
pronounce, "Indeed the earlier ones and the later generations, [56:49]
-
Certainly they all will be
gathered at the appointed moment of the known day. [56:50]
 
 
-
Afterwards, indeed you, "O you the neglectful Wanderers, the publicly contradicting ones,
[56:51]
-
you will certainly be the eaters
of the meal
made from part of the trees of species Zaquem.
[56:52]
-
Thereby, you will be filling
the
bellies with that. [56:53]
-
Thereupon, you will drink
from the scalding water; [56:54]
-
For reason you will drink
like the drink of a diseased thirsty camel.".[56:55]
-
This is their hospitality on
the Day of Resurrection/Judgment and Requital. [56:56]
 
-
The Day Allah the
Exalted will revive
them to life/resurrect, all together—
-
Whereby He will inform them
about that which they did.
-
Allah
the Exalted has
elaborately enumerated/enfolded it [in writing in the book] and they
have forgotten it.
-
Allah the Exalted is Ever Witness/Observer over each and
everything/matter/affair. [58:06]
-
The Day Allah will revive them to
life/resurrect, all together
-
Thereat they will swear for Him in the same
manner as they swear for you people;
-
and they think they are on some foundation
-
Undoubtedly it is a certain fact that they are
the liars. [58:18]
-
It has been thought and
publicly opined by those who have refused to accept/believe that they
will never be revived to life/resurrected.
-
You the Messenger
[Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] pronounce,
"No, that thought is false, I swear by my Sustainer Lord,
-
It is a certain fact that you
people will definitely be revived to life/resurrected, afterwards
certainly you people will definitely be informed about that which you
people had done.
-
And this
has always been an easy matter for Allah the Exalted". [64:07]
-
And it is a fact that there
have been men
amongst Human species who have been seeking [in their thought and perception]
refuge with the men
from Jinn species whereat they increased
them absorbed and veiled in stupidity.
[72:06]
-
And indeed they/men
amongst Human hypothetically thought
as you people thought that Allah will never revive/resurrect a single
one. [72:07]
 
 
 
 
-
Woe and regret is for those
who are dishonest in the exchange of measures; [83:01]
-
They are those who when they
decided to take by measure, it is mandatory upon other people
that they consciously and cautiously deliver in full;
[83:02]
-
And as against that when they
have measured or they have weighted they cause giving less.
[83:03]
-
Do they not expect that they
are the people who will indeed be revived to life/resurrected?
[83:04]
-
For the Great Day
[for accountability]. [83:05]
-
The Day the people will rise
for the Sustainer Lord of the Worlds/all that exists. [83:06]
