Surah Qaf — Ayah 3 (50:3)

Qaf · Makkah · Juz 26 · Mushaf page 518 of 604

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗاۖ ذَٰلِكَ رَجۡعُۢ بَعِيدٞ ٣

English translation (Saheeh International)

When we have died and have become dust, [we will return to life]? That is a distant [i.e., unlikely] return."

Brief commentary

“Will we be resurrected after we have died and turned into dust? Resurrection, and life returning to our bodies after they have decomposed is a far-fetched thing; it is impossible it will happen.”
