He can give you life after you die. No doubt!


كَيۡفَ تَكۡفُرُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَڪُنتُمۡ أَمۡوَٲتً۬ا فَأَحۡيَـٰڪُمۡ‌ۖ ثُمَّ

يُمِيتُكُمۡ ثُمَّ يُحۡيِيكُمۡ ثُمَّ إِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ

How can you disbelieve in Allah seeing that you were dead and He gave you life Then He will give you death, then again will bring you to life (on the Day of Resurrection) and then unto Him you will return. (2:28)

Allah testifies to the fact that He exists and that He is the Creator and the Sustainer Who has full authority over His servants,

كَيْفَ تَكْفُرُونَ بِاللَّهِ

(How can you disbelieve in Allah)

How can anyone deny Allah’s existence or worship others with Him while;

وَكُنتُمْ أَمْوَتًا فَأَحْيَـكُمْ

(You were dead and He gave you life) meaning, He brought them from the state of non-existence to life. Similarly, Allah said,

Ibn Jarir reported from `Ata’ that Ibn `Abbas said that, (Seeing that you were dead and He gave you life) means, “You did not exist beforehand. You were nothing until Allah created you; He will bring death to you and then bring you back to life during Resurrection.” (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

What comes in your mind when you reflect upon this verse, share your thoughts: Comments

  1. Subhan Allah! So much for us to think upon!

  2. Are we really practicing Islam in a way which does not bring the wrath of Allah upon us?

  3. AHMED SHARIEF says:

    This verse reminds me of my childhood(birth).Subhanallah! I was created by Allah(swt), 9 months I was protected in my mother’s womb and till now in this beautiful world. This verse indeed reminds me of my death. I pray Allah (swt) to give me long life in this earth to live the way he has ordered and grant a death with Eamaan.Oh Allah, forgive my sin. I am a sinner every day and you are the forgiver.
