Evidence for Life after Death

Evidence for Life after Death

Allah SWT has mentioned in the Holy Qur’an, the narrations of events of the Day of Judgement. The Qur’an has addressed how the whole event will be and explained the treatement which will be melted out to both the true believers and disbelievers. The Qur’an also explained the events that will happen after the life is no more in existence and also the evidences of life after death.

In Suratul Ahqaf, Allah says:


 

﴿أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِى خَلَقَ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ وَلَمْ يَعْىَ بِخَلْقِهِنَّ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَن يُحْىِ الْمَوْتَى بَلَى إِنَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ – وَيَوْمَ يُعْرَضُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ عَلَى النَّارِ أَلَيْسَ هَـذَا بِالْحَقِّ قَالُواْ بَلَى وَرَبِّنَا قَالَ فَذُوقُواْ الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ – فَاصْبِرْ كَمَا صَبَرَ أُوْلُواْ الْعَزْمِ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ وَلاَ تَسْتَعْجِل لَّهُمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَ مَا يُوعَدُونَ لَمْ يَلْبَثُواْ إِلاَّ سَاعَةً مِّن نَّهَارٍ بَلاَغٌ فَهَلْ يُهْلَكُ إِلاَّ الْقَوْمُ الْفَـسِقُونَ ﴾

(33. Do they not see that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, and was not wearied by their creation, is Able to give life to the dead Yes, He surely is Able to do all things.) (34. And on the Day when those who disbelieve will be exposed to the Fire (it will be said to them): “Is this not the truth” They will say: “Yes, by our Lord!” He will say: “Then taste the torment, because you used to disbelieve!”) (35. Therefore be patient as did those of determination among the Messengers and be in no hurry for them. On the Day when they will see what they are promised, it will be as though they had not remained (in the world) except an hour in a day. (This is) a clear Message. But will any be destroyed except the defiantly rebellious people)

Allah says, those who deny resurrection on Judgement Day, and doubt that the bodies will be raised on that Last Day — Do they not see,

﴿أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِى خَلَقَ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ وَلَمْ يَعْىَ بِخَلْقِهِنَّ﴾

(that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, and was not wearied by their creation,) meaning, the creation of the heavens and earth did not exhaust Him.’ Rather, He commanded them: “Be,” and they were, without any refusal or delay. They obeyed and responded to Him with submission and fear. Is He not then able to revive the dead This is similar to what Allah said elsewhere,

﴿لَخَلْقُ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ أَكْـبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِ وَلَـكِنَّ أَكْـثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴾

(Verily, the creation of the heavens and earth is greater than the creation of the people. But most people do not know.) (40:57) Allah responds to the above question by saying,

﴿بَلَى إِنَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ﴾

(Yes, He surely is Able to do all things.) Then Allah says, as a threat and a warning to whoever disbelieves in Him,

﴿وَيَوْمَ يُعْرَضُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ عَلَى النَّارِ أَلَيْسَ هَـذَا بِالْحَقِّ﴾

(And on the Day when those who disbelieve will be exposed to the Fire (it will be said to them): “Is this not the truth” ) meaning, it will be said to them, “Isn’t this the truth Is this magic, or do you not see”

﴿قَالُواْ بَلَى وَرَبِّنَا﴾

(They will say: “Yes, by our Lord!”) meaning, they will have no choice but to confess.

﴿قَالَ فَذُوقُواْ العَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ﴾

(He will say: “Then taste the torment, because you used to disbelieve!”)
