Life after Death--Scientifically 'provable'?

unknownuser

On a side note, I found the following Quranic verse that you quoted very interesting

"Yea! We are able to make complete his very fingertips"

Monozygotic (identical) twins, which share the same DNA, and often cannot be separated using modern DNA tests, do not have the same fingerprints. While they have the same nuclear DNA, they don't have the same mitochondrial DNA, which may be why they have different phenotypes, a result of which is different fingerprints.

Peace David

Yeh mate the above verse is another proof that the Quran can not be human made

Peace be with you

Peace Ahmed and Saladin,

Thanks for the responses.

Saladin

I'm not sure what your position was? Do you believe that Life after Death (LAD) is scientfically provable? It seems that based on the quote you provided you seem to think that it is. This brings several questions to mind.

salam.
my position is that LAD is not considered unreasonable by the scientist .

1.) What if the DNA of a person was not preserved?
In many cases, a person's DNA is not preserved due to decomposition of the body, including the bones. There are also many who have been cremated/incinerated which would also destroy DNA (depends on the temperature and duration).

i believe that God is clever than us . i m not sure how He would do it . u can ask this question to M. Asadi(the author of that article i quoted from) on his Quran and Science forum( http//rationalreality.forumsplace.com/forum-1.html&sid=36d7e8ba53650c5d94ed5a418090a8a6 ) . maybe he can give you more detailed reply .

3.) Even if we assume that the existence of DNA somehow helps strengthen the position of LAD, what about people who lived 500 years ago? (or even early 20th C) Did they know about DNA? How would they have verified the existence of LAD?

why would they need to verify that ?

On a side note, I found the following Quranic verse that you quoted very interesting

"Yea! We are able to make complete his very fingertips"

Monozygotic (identical) twins, which share the same DNA, and often cannot be separated using modern DNA tests, do not have the same fingerprints. While they have the same nuclear DNA, they don't have the same mitochondrial DNA, which may be why they have different phenotypes, a result of which is different fingerprints.

yes . nowadays fingerprints is the most common method of identification . ppl can have similar faces but not similar fingerprints . Quran knew that all along .

Peace Saladin, Ahmed, all,

I agree with Ahmed. I think belief in LAD is part of the test, and I don't think it is reasonable scientifically speaking.

In addition, I'm not even sure if DNA would help out, as maybe the following verses indicate that we will not have the same physical bodies?

We have predetermined death for you. Nothing can stop Us,
From transforming your forms, and establishing you in what you do not know.
You have come to know about the first creation. If only you would remember.
(5660-62)

Ahmed,
I'd be interested in any verses you have stored up on this subject.

Peace Saladin, Ahmed, all,

I agree with Ahmed. I think belief in LAD is part of the test, and I don't think it is reasonable scientifically speaking.

logically , reviving is easier than creating for the first time . so giving life after death will be easier than giving the life for the first time .

Leena

Salam alaikum,

Since it seems that a soul is also an unprovable concept, do you think the soul makes one exist, or is a physical shell the basis for existing? Is DNA a clue to what the soul is? How can LAD be proven, if the soul has not yet been found or proven? Is the soul an actual thing, as opposed to a mere concept or abstract representation? Lots of questions...

Ahmed said that "there is no death at all" for the soul. I think this is true.

If LAD were provable, what would that mean for the world? If people knew they would be going 'somewhere' after death, there wouldn't be much of a test for people anymore, that might be something that would set everyone upon a straight path. Well, if they believed that 'somewhere' was heaven or hell... -)

salaam all

very interesting and very difficult topic. I am not sure I can transfer my rationale into wiriting but i will try.
Surely if one accepts the concept of the existance of the soul then it cannot be confused with the physical existance-which is what the DNA etc argument is refering to.
Soul in my undrstanding is a spiritual concept which like our physical being can vary but unlikely to interact togather.
Our spiritual being will be determined by our emotional, religious and multitude of other similar experiences in our life time which, as far i am aware, are not incorporated into our genetic make up.
If for an example i was to be cloned today, the cloned me would have the same potential that I possessed from the start of my life but not the spiritual emotional and even physical experience of present me that is my soul today.
however if i die today then my soul is the present me which has been the result of the complex mixture of my genetic potential and the enviormental influences.
Therefore we cannot talk about the soul and regeneration of physical form by gentic manipulation.
theoraticaly one could create life by combination of the amino acids that make up the DNA-which thoeoratically could replicate any human from the basic amino-acid units without the need for the pre-xisting DNA.
Then as for the science knowldge, and Quranic understanding, is concerned we only know a tiny fraction at present-who knows the generations to come will laugh at our primitive thinking but the more I learn about the worldly knowldge the more the Quran seems timeless.

Hello David

I wrote many comments about this subject while debating/discussing it with a few Muslims and non Muslims, I was always fascinated by death and always eager to know what I can about it. The subject of death is one of the most important things in life, it is indeed the most assured thing that will certainly happen to everyone, the problem is it is by far over looked and many humans just can?t truly understand its nature and its objective. But before I start please be aware that I will keep jumping between different locations in the Quran, I learnt this style from one of the best Islamic scholars in Egypt, he is dead now, his name is Mohammad Metwali El Sharawi, may Allah grant him forgiveness, I found his style is really good because it does not only link quranic words but he links quranic contexts as well and this is how I see the Quran explains itself. This method never failed me in understanding the Quran for the last 25 years and I?m still counting.

Death for me is like being unconscious or similar to being asleep, people just think or should I say ?made to believe? they die, I read and thought a lot about it however regardless of what my thoughts are, I can only tell what the Quran said about death and why I think people do not die.

The Quran is telling us that people will be aware of dying during death, ie. we will know that we are dying when the moment of death comes, I tried to extract all the verses about death as mentioned in the Quran but they are heaps so I brought in what I found has a message in there for all of us

?Every soul shall have a taste of death in the end to Us shall ye be brought back?

(57)

-> The above verse is clear it say that every soul must taste death ?Every soul shall have a taste of death? well that is easy to observe however can you see how the Quran used the word ?TASTE??, this means that death is going to be a real experience, what is not an observation is what is coming next ?in the end to Us shall ye be brought back?, ie after death we will be brought back to Allah to give account.

?Every soul shall have a taste of death and We test you by evil and by good by way of trial. to Us must ye return.?

(35)

-> And because this message is important it was repeated again with extra piece of information ? ?Every soul shall have a taste of death and the extra piece of info is ?and We test you by evil and by good by way of trial.? ie. we are being tested in this life by evil and by good, and based on the test result and when the test finishes by dying? then ?to Us must ye return.?.

?Every soul shall have a taste of death And only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the object (of Life) The life of this world is but comfort of illusion.?

(185)

-> Again for the third time this important message about death is repeated with more pieces of information ? Every soul shall have a taste of death, then we give account and be judged ? And only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense.? and the result of our test will be given to us ? Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the object (of Life)?, then the verse ends by telling us that this testing life ?The life of this world is but comfort of illusion?.

And because all people will certainly know they are dying, the bad ones will try to repent at the moment of death

?Of no effect is the repentance of those who continue to do evil, until death faces one of them, and he says, "Now have I repented indeed;" nor of those who die rejecting Faith for them have We prepared a punishment most grievous.?

(1

-> These are the bad doers who will try to repent when they stumble into death Of no effect is the repentance of those who continue to do evil, until death faces one of them, and he says, ?Now have I repented indeed;?", but how about the people they think it is enough to have pure hearts but reject faith? well, same destiny as the bad doers ?nor of those who die rejecting Faith, and what will happen to those people ?for them have We prepared a punishment most grievous.?

Those people will ask at the moment of death to be sent back to life so they can fix their flaws

?(In Falsehood will they be) Until, when death comes to one of them, he says "O my Lord! send me back (to life),-?

(99)

But how the humans know they are dying?, simply they will see the angels of death for real

?Say The Angel of Death, put in charge of you, will (duly) take your souls then shall ye be brought back to your Lord."

(11)

-> ?Then shall ye be brought back to your Lord.", it is like we are not really dead, we are put on hold until the judgment day then we will be brought back to give account.

It is also worth noting that our vision in this testing life is restricted to serve the objective of testing, when the test is finished, this restriction is no longer required and will be removed, hence we will see the angels of death

?Certainly you were heedless of it, but now We have removed from you your veil, so your sight today is sharp.?

(22)

-> When this restriction is removed our vision is described as having as the eye sight of steel a metaphor expressing how strong our vision will be ? ?, translated as ? so your sight today is sharp?

-> In fact when the truth will be revealed and the vision will be sharp at the moment of death all unbelievers will even try to submit to Allah, but that will never be accepted as we have seen in 418 above

?And We made the children of Israel to pass through the sea, then Firon and his hosts followed them for oppression and tyranny; until when drowning overtook him, he said I believe that there is no god but He in Whom the children of Israel believe and I am of those who submit.(Muslim)?

(90)

This moment of death is indeed not going to be a nice moment for many we can see how it made Pharaoh submit to Allah in a moment while he refused all the reasoning and logic all his life, in fact the moment of death is described like this in the Quran

?And the agony of death cometh in truth. (And it is said unto him) This is that which thou wast wont to shun.?

(19)

The Quran is telling us that death is like sleep as well, in each case the soul comes out of the body but for who has not reached their moment of death and must stay alive for for a term appointed their souls will be sent back to their bodies and they wake up from sleep, this happens to you, me and everyone when we sleep and wake up indeed., and surely this will be similar when we die our souls are taken then are sent back to our bodies after being unconscious for all that time between death and the Judgment day

?It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die not (He takes) during their sleep those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to life), but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed verily in this are Signs for those who reflect.?

(42)

In another location we can see that the wrong doers during the time between death and the Judgment day ?like sleeping? they will experience sort of nightmares, indeed death sounds like sleeping

The Quran told us many things about Pharaoh ?Fir?on? and his followers, for example it tells us how in the period between his death and the day of judgment they will see hell every morning/evening like a double nightmares every day until the day of judgment and when the day of judjment comes, he will enter hell which is going to be a totally new experience for them

?The fire; they shall be brought before it (every) morning and evening and on the day when the hour shall come to pass Make Firon's people enter the severest chastisement.?

(46)

-> The verse is clear that pharaoh and his people will see the hell twice a day while they are dead ?like a nightmare exactly but you can not wake yourself up to stop it, it will be experienced with the soul only exactly as we are sleeping and experiencing nightmares, ?? The fire; they shall be brought before it (every) morning and evening?, twice a day then when the day of judgment comes ?and on the day when the hour shall come to pass Make Firon's people enter the severest chastisement?.

I found this whole sura that can simulate what I just said about seeing hell in a sort of nightmares , I was actually looking for it deliberately because it tells us that we will see hell twice, firstly we will see it then we will see with the eye of certainty

(1) ?Abundance diverts you,?
(2) ?Until you visit the graves.?
(3)?Nay, but you will come to know!?
(4) ?Again, but you will come to know!?
(5) ?Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,?
(6) ?You shall see the Hell-Fire!?
(7) ?Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;?
( ?Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.? ?

(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
(6)
(7)
(

-> Verse 2, tells us an amazing fact that happens at least once to almost every single human ever existed on earth, this fact is when we visit the graves burying someone who just died, we get out of this diversion mentioned in verse 1 and think for a moment between ourselves, well, I know that it is logical at burial ceremonies everyone?s face is grim and everyone is almost silent, but imagine what every individual at the scene is thinking with him/her at that moment, I worked as the manager of the Muslim Cemetery in Sydney for a year 14 years ago and I have seen miracles in front of my eyes that one day will be eaten by the worms, believe me mate, I may tell you one , the one that I will never forget till I die, as it is engraved in my mind, let me know if you want to know it?,

-> So we get out of this diversion caused by our concentration on our reproduction until we visit the graves ?Until you visit the graves.?, man this small verse is unreal in its accuracy, even the people who do not believe in a God but attend burial ceremonies surly re-think for a moment seeing someone they knew just passed away, the point is we all know about death, but when we see it happens to someone we know, we will sure have more certain knowledge about it or more feeling of it, it is like you see it virtually but yet to happen to you, then when it happens you will see it with certain vision, i.e. you reached the ultimate knowledge, when you see it with your own eyes.

-> Verse 3, the verse here started by telling us that we will know about something, this thing is actually the Hell Fire as it will be mentioned later in the verses, well this is the knowledge about it from God?s messages ?Nay, but you will come to know!?
-> Verse 4, and God?s messages about the Hell warning will be repeated, look how many prophets we know from history who suppose to have warned masses of humans and yet been ignored ?Again, but you will come to know!? , can you see how the verses describe that we will gain knowledge about it "Hell" but the verse never mentioned seeing it yet?

-> Verse 5, confirming this certain knowledge theory that I mentioned above, i.e. we only have knowledge about Hell, but we do not have certain knowledge about it yet, but that does not mean it does not exist, rather we did not see it with our eyes yet, ?Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,?

-> Verse 6, we will see the Hell in the period after we die till the day of judgment "Assumption", exactly like a nightmare, but you can not wake up, you know that dreams sometimes feel so real like livening it live, however we have not seen Hell with the eyes of certainty yet ?You shall see the Hell-Fire!?

-> Verse 7, and here we go on the judgment day while we are being judged and Hell is nearby, we all will be able to see it at a distance with our own eyes ?the eye of certainty? ?Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;?

-> Verse 8, and sure on that day we will be questioned about our indulgence in life and our diversion from knowing our creator ?Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.?

This whole sura simulates to a high degree how the knowledge of a something can progress for knowing nothing to knowing lil about it ?in this life?, then knowing more about it without physically seeing it ?when the angels of death tell us that is what we are heading for ? God forbids? in 850 discussed further down the post, then knowing about it more by virtually seeing it in continuos nightmares, then knowing more about it by physically seeing it ?the eye of certainty?. This also runs in harmony with the other info when our vision was described as will be a vision of steel (sharp) in 5022 ? ?, translated as ? so your sight today is sharp?

The Quarn in another location talked indirectly about, ?the eye of certainty?

(13)?That Day shall they be thrust down to the Fire of Hell, irresistibly.?
(14) "This, it will be said, "Is the Fire,- which ye were wont to deny!?
(15) "Is this then a fake, or is it ye that do not see? ?
(16) "Burn ye therein the same is it to you whether ye bear it with patience, or not Ye but receive the recompense of your (own) deeds."

(13)
(14)
(15)
(16)

-> Verse 13 tells us about the people who will be driven violently to their doomed destination the hell ?That Day shall they be thrust down to the Fire of Hell, irresistibly.?

-> In verse 14, they will be told "This, it will be said, ?Is the Fire,- which ye were wont to deny!?? , will denying the fire be similar to considering it as a metaphor? Well, I guess yes according to the followings

-> Verse 15, they will be asked in sarcasm "Is this then a fake, or is it ye that do not see? ?, and this is the eye of certainty I?m talking about.

-> Verse 16, now being patient or not while barbecued in Hell, will be the same, obviously the verse makes a joke of people like them "Burn ye therein the same is it to you whether ye bear it with patience, or not Ye but receive the recompense of your (own) deeds.", can you see how the verse ended by ?Ye but receive the recompense of your (own) deeds.?, and what is this own deed?, well it is denying the true God, His messages, His prophets, His angels and sure His punishment.

The following verse is telling us what the unbelievers will say to the angels of death after the appointed term is expired and the soul has to exit the body for a long time not ?for a few hours?

?Whom the angels cause to die while they are wronging themselves. Then will they make full submission (saying) We used not to do any wrong. Nay! Surely Allah is Knower of what ye used to do.?

(2

-> Clear as light again ?Whom the angels cause to die while they are wronging themselves.? the unbelievers will see the angels at the moment of death and straightaway they will lie and try to repent Then will they make full submission (saying) We used not to do any wrong.?, the angels will respond to them ? Nay! Surely Allah is Knower of what ye used to do.?, I reckon those people who think that having a pure heart and not to worry about belief is enough in this life will have a huge second shocker that is waiting for them, let?s see what is this second shocker?, we know the first shocker is seeing the angels at the moment of death, now what the will angels of death will do to those wrong doers?

(50)? If thou couldst see, when the angels take the souls of the Unbelievers (at death), (How) they smite their faces and their backs, (saying) "Taste the penalty of the blazing Fire-?

(51)?This is for that which your own hands have sent before (to the Judgment), and (know) that Allah is not a tyrant to His slaves.?

(50)
(51)

-> Here is what the angels of death will do to those unbelievers ? If thou couldst see, when the angels take the souls of the Unbelievers (at death), (How) they smite their faces and their backs, (saying) ?Taste the penalty of the blazing Fire??, man this is horrific, how those people will handle that?, how they allow it to be a valid possibility and may be forced on them?, you see mate, if we consider all religions as one for argument sake, then we have two possibilities with no third

There is a God (50%)
There is no God (50%)

I?m trying to be fair and give each 50% possibility while quite the contrary I see it as there is a God 100% and 0% for the possibility of no God, but let?s be fair and make it 5050

If we take two humans ?a believer and a rejector? as our prime examples then we have the following scenarios

There is No God, neither Account nor Punishment, then both of us are safe
There is a God, an Account and Punishment then my unbeliever friend has put him/her self in big trouble indeed

This must force us to conclude that a real believer in God will always be safe and a God rejector must incur 50% chance to be humiliated eternally, how dumb a human can be more than this man?

It seems they see it as if a believer misses on some of the fun in this life, well, I have seen many believers who have far more decent life than many unbelievers hence a believer does not really miss on anything regarding this testing life because he/she chose to believe in God and be safe 100% regardless what the truth is. Some may argue and suggest that believing then is based on fear, well I guess if God said as such in his Quran as He said that WE MUST FEAR HIM AND HIS SEVERE PUNISHMENT. , then why not believing due to fear?

Some may still argue and tell me why you associate A God with both an Account and a Punishment?, well, because all the well known scriptures that are to be claimed sent by God said as such. Others who claim there is a God but he will not force a punishment need to provide compelling evidences regarding their allegation.

-> For those kind hearted unbelievers to be forced in eternal doom, would that be injustice?, well, I do not think so because after all these warnings sent to them, they simply ignored it and earned their punishment?This is for that which your own hands have sent before (to the Judgment),?, and sure Allah is Just ?and (know) that Allah is not a tyrant to His slaves.?

This bashing by the angels at the moment of death is stressed in anther location with explanation to why this will happen to them

(27)?But how (will it be) when the angels take their souls at death, and smite their faces and their backs??

(2?This because they followed that which called forth the Wrath of Allah, and they hated Allah's good pleasure; so He made their good deeds of no effect.?

(27)
(2

-> ?But how (will it be) when the angels take their souls at death, and smite their faces and their backs??

-> And why this will happen to them? ? This because they followed that which called forth the Wrath of Allah, ? and also because ?and they hated Allah's good pleasure;? but what about their good deeds and their pure hearts? ?so He made their good deeds of no effect.? gone and forgotten, good luck to them.

The next verses are very interesting

(99)?But (In Falsehood will they be) Until, when death comes to one of them, he says "O my Lord! send me back (to life),-?

(100)?That I may do right in that which I have neglected! But nay! It is but a word that he speaketh; and behind them is a barrier until the day when they are raised.?

(99)
(100)

-> The same message we read before that those unbelievers will ask to be sent back to life when death comes to them ?But (In Falsehood will they be) Until, when death comes to one of them, he says ?O my Lord! send me back (to life),??

-> They will see the truth with the eye of certainty and they will want to go back to fix what they neglected ?That I may do right in that which I have neglected!, and sure their request will be denied and not just this, the Quran is saying that they are heading to a place with a BARRIER that is preventing them from going back to life? be But nay! It is but a word that he speaketh; and behind them is a barrier until the day when they are raised.?, ok mate, this mentioned barrier that prevents them from going back until the day of resurrection sounds to me like something in a black hole, in fact the Arabic word Barzakh is the closest Arabic word to describe the event horizon of a black hole ?The barrier?, if you have read about black holes then you may know the followings

We can?t see what is inside a black hole because light can?t escape its gravitational force, possibly it was designed this way by Allah so humans can?t see what is inside considering it a divine secret especially if the game for the souls imprisoned inside is over but for the others who still have their souls in their bodies, the games continues and they should not know that secret otherwise the test will be spoiled?, it is like knowing the answer without believing in the UNSEEN 23
The event horizon of a black hole is really a barrier, because it is a point with no return, ie. if anything "even light" passes it, it can?t GO BACK, this sounds like the challenge that was given to us in the Quran that whatever we do we will not be able to return the soul back to the body.
When the event horizon ?The barzakh? , "The barrier"is crossed, time will stop, ie. there is no feel of time inside a black hole, this makes great sense because if we sleep deeply 10 hours, when we wake up those 10 hours will never be felt as 10 hours neither felt as one second, there is no words to describe the feeling indeed other than time has possibly stopped. The Quran actually told us about this fact reagrding the time delusion when we are not awake "dead", it clearly informed us when the judgment day comes and the souls are returned to the bodies then we become awake again, we will feel that we only lasted an hour of a day

?One day He will gather them together (It will be) as if they had tarried but an hour of a day they will recognise each other assuredly those will be lost who denied the meeting with Allah and refused to receive true guidance.?

(45)

?It will be on a Day when He will call you, and ye will answer (His call) with (words of) His praise, and ye will think that ye tarried but a little while!?

(52)

55- ? On the Day that the Hour (of Reckoning) will be established, the transgressors will swear that they tarried not but an hour thus were they used to being deluded!?

56- ?But those endued with knowledge and faith will say ?Indeed ye did tarry, within Allah's Decree, to the Day of Resurrection, and this is the Day of Resurrection but ye - ye were not aware!??

(55)
(56)

-> Please note that in 3056 we can see the people who are endued with knowledge and faith will be aware of that time delusion? those endued with knowledge and faith will say ?Indeed ye did tarry, within Allah's Decree, to the Day of Resurrection, and this is the Day of Resurrection but ye - ye were not aware!?

Ironically I met other Muslims who also reached the same conclusion that the Black holes are the cemeteries of the universe and the souls are imprisoned inside it until the judgment day.

To finish my long comment bro there will be no better than showing the verses that may indicate what I stated about proving LAD scientifically is not possible as this is one of the main fitnah (test) that we all are facing equally, it really comes to this for many people, how come after they turned to dust, they will be alive again?, that wonder was stressed many times in the Quran, here is a few examples

?And if you would wonder, then wondrous is their saying What! when we are dust, shall we then certainly be in a new creation? These are they who disbelieve in their Lord, and these have chains on their necks, and they are the inmates of the fire; in it they shall abide.?

(5)

-> It is very horrific to read above what sort of punishment is waiting for those unbelievers ? are they who disbelieve in their Lord, and these have chains on their necks, and they are the inmates of the fire; in it they shall abide.?

35- ?What! does he promise you that when you are dead and become dust and bones that you shall then be brought forth??

36- ?Far, far is that which you are promised with.?

37- ?There is naught but our life in this world; we die and we live and we shall not be raised again.?

(35)
(36)
(37)

-> Above we see how they are sure that they shall not be raised - ?Far, far is that which you are promised with.? , ? There is naught but our life in this world; we die and we live and we shall not be raised again.?

81- ?Nay, they say the like of what the ancients said?

82- ?They say What! When we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we then be raised??

83- ?Certainly we are promised this, and (so were) our fathers before; this is naught but stories of those of old.?

(81)
(82)
(83)

-> We can see here that what the atheist says now is exactly what was said by all previous generations ?They say What! When we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we then be raised??, ? Certainly we are promised this, and (so were) our fathers before; this is naught but stories of those of old.?

50- ?Then they will turn to one another and question one another.?

51- ?One of them will start the talk and say "I had an intimate companion (on the earth),?

52- ?Who said What! are you indeed of those who accept (the truth)??

53- ?What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then be certainly brought to judgment??

54- ?He shall say Will you look on??

55- ?Then he looked down and saw him in the midst of hell.?

56- ?He shall say By Allah! you had almost caused me to perish;?

(50)
(51)
(52)
(53)
(54)
(55)
(56)

-> The above verses are very interesting it talks about an incident that will happen on the judgment day when the wrong doers settle in Hell and the good doers and believers settle in paradise, a few on the heaven dwellers will ask each other about friends they knew but were unbelievers, those friends had that wonder of not comprehending how after becoming dust they will be raised again hence he died an unbeliever, someone Possibly God or an angel) heard the dialogue between the heaven dwellers and responded by allowing them to have a look at their mates on hell, what they saw was so horrific ?Then he looked down and saw him in the midst of hell.? , the point is the verses clearly stated that those people in the hell fire never believed in LAD

?Surely We have warned you of a chastisement near at hand the day when man shall see what his two hands have sent before, and the unbeliever shall say O! would that I were dust!?

(40)

-> And finally bro, those Kafarah will wish to be turned into dust, this is what they were wrongly sure about, that no one can raise them from dust, and because it will happen and the punishment will be severe they will wish to be turned back into dust.

I?m sorry bro about the long comment but I believe it is not a bad read at all, please ask any questions if you need further elaboration concerning any verse

Peace be with you
