Quran 34:7~8 (Surah Saba)

The disbelievers say ˹mockingly to one another˺, “Shall we show you a man who claims that when you have been utterly disintegrated you will be raised as a new creation? Has he fabricated a lie against Allah or is he insane?” In fact, those who do not believe in the Hereafter are bound for torment and have strayed farthest ˹from the truth˺. Quran 34:7~8 Surah Saba` (Saba, Sheba)
Surah Saba’ takes its name after the People of Saba’, لَقَدْ كَانَ لِسَبَإٍ فِي مَسْكَنِهِمْ آيَةٌ ۖ جَنَّتَانِ عَن يَمِينٍ وَشِمَالٍ ۖ كُلُوا مِن رِّزْقِ رَبِّكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوا لَهُ ۚ بَلْدَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ وَرَبٌّ غَفُورٌ “There was for [the tribe of] Saba’ in their dwelling place a sign: two [fields of] gardens on the right and on the left. [They were told], “Eat from the provisions of your Lord and be grateful to Him. A good land [have you], and a forgiving Lord.” (34:15)

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ هَلۡ نَدُلُّكُمۡ عَلَىٰ رَجُلࣲ یُنَبِّئُكُمۡ إِذَا مُزِّقۡتُمۡ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍ إِنَّكُمۡ لَفِی خَلۡقࣲ جَدِیدٍ أَفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَم بِهِۦ جِنَّةُۢۗ بَلِ ٱلَّذِینَ لَا یُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡءَاخِرَةِ فِی ٱلۡعَذَابِ وَٱلضَّلَـٰلِ ٱلۡبَعِیدِ
The Surah answers some of the objections raised by the non-believers about Tawhid, Risalah and Akhirah. It also speaks about Prophets David and Solomon and the Queen of Sheba to remind people about the consequences of evils as well as righteousness.
منکرین لوگوں سے کہتے ہیں "ہم بتائیں تمہیں ایسا شخص جو خبر دیتا ہے کہ جب تمہارے جسم کا ذرہ ذرہ منتشر ہو چکا ہو گا اس وقت تم نئے سرے سے پیدا کر دیے جاؤ گے؟ نہ معلوم یہ شخص اللہ کے نام سے جھوٹ گھڑتا ہے یا اسے جنون لاحق ہے" نہیں، بلکہ جو لوگ آخرت کو نہیں مانتے وہ عذاب میں مبتلا ہونے والے ہیں اور وہی بری طرح بہکے ہوئے ہیں

Quran 30:48~50

It is Allah Who sends the winds, which then stir up ˹vapour, forming˺ clouds, which He then spreads out in the sky or piles up into masses as He wills, from which you see rain come forth. Then as soon as He causes it to fall on whoever He wills of His servants, they rejoice, although they had utterly lost hope just before it was sent down to them. See then the impact of Allah’s mercy: how He gives life to the earth after its death! Surely That ˹same God˺ can raise the dead. For He is Most Capable of everything. Quran 30:48~50 Surah ar-Rum (The Romans)
30th chapter of the Quran, consists of 60 versesThis Surah is named after the ‘Romans’ –
The word ‘Roman’ is mentioned only in this Surah in the Qur’an.
There are 60 Ayat in this Surah.
ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِی یُرۡسِلُ ٱلرِّیَـٰحَ فَتُثِیرُ سَحَابࣰا فَیَبۡسُطُهُۥ فِی ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ كَیۡفَ یَشَاۤءُ وَیَجۡعَلُهُۥ كِسَفࣰا فَتَرَى ٱلۡوَدۡقَ یَخۡرُجُ مِنۡ خِلَـٰلِهِۦۖ فَإِذَاۤ أَصَابَ بِهِۦ مَن یَشَاۤءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦۤ إِذَا هُمۡ یَسۡتَبۡشِرُونَ وَإِن كَانُوا۟ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن یُنَزَّلَ عَلَیۡهِم مِّن قَبۡلِهِۦ لَمُبۡلِسِینَ فَٱنظُرۡ إِلَىٰۤ ءَاثَـٰرِ رَحۡمَتِ ٱللَّهِ كَیۡفَ یُحۡیِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَاۤۚ إِنَّ ذَ ٰلِكَ لَمُحۡیِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَیۡءࣲ قَدِیرࣱ
The Surah reminds us that Allah is in control of everything. Those who are short sighted they see only what is apparent but they do not realize that there is a Creator and Master of this whole universe and it is He who is governing everything.
Final decision is in Allah’s hand. The Akhirah will take place and the truth will prevail.
خدا ہی تو ہے جو ہواؤں کو چلاتا ہے تو وہ بادل کو اُبھارتی ہیں۔ پھر خدا اس کو جس طرح چاہتا ہے آسمان میں پھیلا دیتا اور تہ بتہ کر دیتا ہے پھر تم دیکھتے ہو کہ اس کے بیچ میں سے مینھہ نکلنے لگتا ہے پھر جب وہ اپنے بندوں میں سے جن پر چاہتا ہے اُسے برسا دیتا ہے تو وہ خوش ہو جاتے ہیں اور بیشتر تو وہ مینھہ کے اُترنے سے پہلے نااُمید ہو رہے تھے تو (اے دیکھنے والے) خدا کی رحمت کی نشانیوں کی طرف دیکھ کہ وہ کس طرح زمین کو اس کے مرنے کے بعد زندہ کرتا ہے۔ بیشک وہ مردوں کو زندہ کرنے والا ہے۔ اور وہ ہر چیز پر قادر ہے

Quran 16:38~40

It is a true promise binding on Him, but most people do not know. ˹He will do that˺ to make clear to them what they disagreed on, and for the disbelievers to know that they were liars. If We ever will something ˹to exist˺, all We say is: “Be!” And it is! Quran 16:38~40 Surah an-Nahl (The Bee)

اور یہ خدا کی سخت سخت قسمیں کھاتے ہیں کہ جو مرجاتا ہے خدا اسے (قیامت کے دن قبر سے) نہیں اٹھائے گا۔ ہرگز نہیں۔ یہ (خدا کا) وعدہ سچا ہے اور اس کا پورا کرنا اسے ضرور ہے لیکن اکثر لوگ نہیں جانتے تاکہ جن باتوں میں یہ اختلاف کرتے ہیں وہ ان پر ظاہر کردے اور اس لیے کہ کافر جان لیں کہ وہ جھوٹے تھے جب ہم کسی چیز کا ارادہ کرتے ہیں تو ہماری بات یہی ہے کہ اس کو کہہ دیتے ہیں کہ ہوجا تو وہ ہوجاتی ہے

And your Lord taught the honey bee to build its cells in hills, on trees, and in (men’s) habitations; Then to eat of all the produce (of the earth), and find with skill the spacious paths of its Lord: there issues from within their bodies a drink of varying colours, wherein is healing for men: verily in this is a Sign for those who give thought.

Quran 32:10~12

˹Still˺ they ask ˹mockingly˺, “When we are disintegrated into the earth, will we really be raised as a new creation?” In fact, they are in denial of the meeting with their Lord. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Your soul will be taken by the Angel of Death, who is in charge of you. Then to your Lord you will ˹all˺ be returned.” If only you could see the wicked hanging their heads ˹in shame˺ before their Lord, ˹crying:˺ “Our Lord ! We have now seen and heard, so send us back and we will do good. We truly have sure faith ˹now˺!”

اور کہنے لگے کہ جب ہم زمین میں ملیامیٹ ہوجائیں گے تو کیا ازسرنو پیدا ہوں گے۔ حقیقت یہ ہے کہ یہ لوگ اپنے پروردگار کے سامنے جانے ہی کے قائل نہیں کہہ دو کہ موت کا فرشتہ جو تم پر مقرر کیا گیا ہے تمہاری روحیں قبض کر لیتا ہے پھر تم اپنے پروردگار کی طرف لوٹائے جاؤ گے اور تم (تعجب کرو) جب دیکھو کہ گنہگار اپنے پروردگار کے سامنے سرجھکائے ہوں گے (اور کہیں گے کہ) اے ہمارے پروردگار ہم نے دیکھ لیا اور سن لیا تو ہم کو (دنیا میں) واپس بھیج دے کہ نیک عمل کریں بیشک ہم یقین کرنے والے ہیں
