Surah Qaf V.50:4 "the earth takes of them"

[Ruhi_Rose]

 


"We know that which the earth takes of them, and with Us is a recording Book."  50:4  Surah Qaf.


Salams dear everyone!   Just want to confirm, does the above Verse refer to the remains of humans who have passed ?

[N. Truth Seeker]

Walaykom Salam.    Yes exactly.   This brief Verse has a lot of depth.  The remains of countless human beings and various other living beings who have died since the beginning of creation and will continue to die until the Day of Resurrection are scattered in different parts of the world.  The limited human mind thinks it is impossible to gather all those scattered remains with every bit of their physical particles.  But the fact is that Allah Almighty clearly and directly knows where each of those particles of every body lies, in whatever form and whichever place they are.  A complete record is maintained in a Register with Allah which does not omit even a shred of those remains of all who have passed.  Nothing is left out.  And each one will be resurrected on the Day of Judgement, a task very easy for Allah.  This Verse also refers that life in the Hereafter will be just as physical as in this world.
