˹Now,˺ if anything should amaze you ˹O Prophet˺, then it is their question: “When we are reduced to dust, will we really be raised as a new creation?” It is they who have disbelieved in their Lord. It is they who will have shackles around their necks. And it is they who will be the residents of the Fire. They will be there forever.Quran 13:5

وَإِن تَعۡجَبۡ فَعَجَبࣱ قَوۡلُهُمۡ أَءِذَا كُنَّا تُرَ ٰبًا 
أَءِنَّا لَفِی خَلۡقࣲ جَدِیدٍۗ
 أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِرَبِّهِمۡۖ
 وَأُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ ٱلۡأَغۡلَـٰلُ فِیۤ أَعۡنَاقِهِمۡۖ
 وَأُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ
 هُمۡ فِیهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ
The basic theme of the Surah is divine guidance.
Allah has created this whole universe.
He knows what is in the wombs and every thing is under His knowledge.
He sent His prophets and guides to all people for their guidance
and now the Last Messenger has come.
اب اگر تمہیں تعجب کرنا ہے تو تعجب کے قابل لوگوں کا
 یہ قول ہے کہ
 
"جب ہم مر کر مٹی ہو جائیں گے 
تو کیا ہم نئے سرے سے پیدا کیے جائیں گے؟" 

یہ وہ لوگ ہیں جنہوں نے 
اپنے رب سے کفر کیا ہے 
یہ وہ لوگ ہیں جن کی گردنوں میں طوق پڑے ہوئے ہیں 
یہ جہنمی ہیں اور جہنم میں ہمیشہ رہیں گے
