Quran 37:12 · As-Saffat

بَلۡ عَجِبۡتَ وَيَسۡخَرُونَ

But you wonder, while they mock

Translation: Sahih International
Maulana’s commentary · Tazkirul Quran

The universe as we observe from the earth is so complicated and so extensive that the re-creation of human beings in the next world appears to be a work of comparatively smaller magnitude. A greater specimen of the creative power of the Creator is before us, then why should it be impossible for that Creator to engage in creation on a lesser scale? On analysing the human body, it appears that it is a combination of earthly components. Man is made up of substances found on earth, such as water, calcium, iron, sodium, etc. All these are found in our world in abundance, then by utilising the same elements from which He once created human beings, can He not re-create man?
