On another thread, there seemed to be I will not say confusion, but unclariy around death and resurrection, Insh aAllah I will try to post Ayahs covering the issue:
"And it is Allah Who sends the winds, so that they raise up the clouds, and We drive them to a dead land, and revive therewith the earth after its death. As such (will be) the Resurrection!" (Quran 35:9)
"He it is, Who has made the earth subservient to you (i.e. easy for you to walk, to live and to do agriculture on it, etc.), so walk in the path thereof and eat of His provision, and to Him will be the Resurrection.
" (Quran 76:15)
"O mankind! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then verily! We have created you (i.e. Adam) from dust, then from a Nutfah (mixed drops of male and female sexual discharge i.e. offspring of Adam), then from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood) then from a little lump of flesh, some formed and some unformed (miscarriage), that We may make (it) clear to you (i.e. to show you Our Power and Ability to do what We will). And We cause whom We will to remain in the wombs for an appointed term, then We bring you out as infants, then (give you growth) that you may reach your age of full strength. And among you there is he who dies (young), and among you there is he who is brought back to the miserable old age, so that he knows nothing after having known. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down water (rain) on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells and puts forth every lovely kind (of growth)." (Quran 22:5)
"And those who have been bestowed with knowledge and faith will say: "Indeed you have stayed according to the Decree of Allah, until the Day of Resurrection, so this is the Day of Resurrection, but you knew not." (Quran 30:56)
"And surely, the Hour is coming, there is no doubt about it, and certainly, Allah will resurrect those who are in the graves." (Quran 22:7)
"O you who believe! Take not as friends the people who incurred the Wrath of Allah (i.e. the Jews). Surely, they have been in despair to receive any good in the Hereafter, just as the disbelievers have been in despair about those (buried) in graves (that they will not be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection)." (Quran 60:13)
"And when the graves are turned upside down (and they bring out their contents)" (Quran 82:4)
"Knows he not that when the contents of the graves are brought out and poured forth (all mankind is resurrected)." (Quran 100:9)
Insh a Allah this is enough for now, I will be posting more, I hope my brothers and sisters share the search and post.
