The Holy Quran 13:5 — Surah Ar-Ra'd

Arabic text

۞ وَإِن تَعْجَبْ فَعَجَبٌ قَوْلُهُمْ أَءِذَا كُنَّا تُرَٰبًا أَءِنَّا لَفِى خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ ۗ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِرَبِّهِمْ ۖ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلْأَغْلَـٰلُ فِىٓ أَعْنَاقِهِمْ ۖ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ

Translation

If you (O Muhammad ﷺ) are astonished (by the manner in which the Kuffaar reject you and what you tell them), then (even more) astonishing is their statement: "When we become sand, will we be created again?" (This statement is astonishing because they fail to understand that if Allaah has created the amazing things mentioned above, it will not be difficult at all for Him to resurrect people on the Day of Qiyaamah.) These are the ones who disbelieve in their Rabb. They are the ones who shall have yokes on their necks (in the Aakhirah) and they shall be the inmates (prisoners) of Jahannam, where they shall live forever.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
