Al-Irshad ila Sahih al-ItiqadSalih Al-Fawzan

“Those who disbelieve say, ‘The Hour will never reach us.’ Say: ‘Yes indeed, by my Lord, it will surely come upon you—the Knower of the unseen.’ 1
He also said: ‘They ask you, “Is it really true?” Say: “Yes, by my Lord, it is most certainly true, and you can never elude Him.” 2
And He said: ‘Those who disbelieve claim that they will not be resurrected. Say: “Yes indeed, by my Lord, you will surely be resurrected; then you will certainly be informed of what you used to do, and that is easy for Allah.” 3
He informed us of how near it is, saying: ‘The Hour has drawn near and the moon has split.’ 4 and: ‘The reckoning of mankind has drawn near, yet they remain heedlessly turned away.’ 5
He censured those who deny the resurrection, declaring: ‘Lost indeed are those who deny the meeting with Allah, for they were not rightly guided.’ 6 ‘Indeed, those who dispute about the Hour are in profound error.’ 7 and: ‘On the Day of Resurrection We shall gather them on their faces—blind, dumb and deaf; their abode will be Hell. Whenever its flames subside, We shall intensify the blaze for them. That is their recompense for having rejected Our signs and for saying, “When we have become bones and dust, shall we really be raised as a new creation?” Do they not see that Allah, who created the heavens and the earth, is able to create the like of them? He has appointed for them a term about which there is no doubt; yet the wrongdoers refuse anything but disbelief.’ 8
And He said: ‘They say, “When we have become bones and dust, shall we indeed be raised as a new creation?”’ 9 Allah answered them: ‘Say: “Be you stones, or iron, or any other created thing that you deem even harder to revive.” They will then say, “Who will bring us back?” Say: “He who produced you the first time.” They will shake their heads at you and say, “When will that be?” Say: “Perhaps it is near. On the Day He calls you, you will answer by praising Him, and you will think you stayed no longer than a little while.”’ 10
The commentator on al-Ṭaḥāwiyyah, reflecting on these noble verses, said: ‘Consider how each of their questions is answered in detail. First they said, “When we have become bones and dust, shall we indeed be raised as a new creation?” 11 The reply to this question was: If you were…’

تعالى: ﴿وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لا تَأْتِينَا السَّاعَةُ قُلْ بَلَى وَرَبِّي لَتَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ﴾ ١، وقال تعالى: ﴿وَيَسْتَنْبِئُونَكَ أَحَقٌّ هُوَ قُلْ إِي وَرَبِّي إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ وَمَا أَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِينَ﴾ ٢، وقال تعالى: ﴿زَعَمَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنْ لَنْ يُبْعَثُوا قُلْ بَلَى وَرَبِّي لَتُبْعَثُنَّ ثُمَّ لَتُنَبَّؤُنَّ بِمَا عَمِلْتُمْ وَذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ﴾ ٣. وأخبر عن اقتراب ذلك؛ فقال: ﴿اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ﴾ ٤، ﴿اقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِي غَفْلَةٍ مُعْرِضُونَ﴾ ٥. وذم المكذبين بالبعث؛ فقال: ﴿قَدْ خَسِرَ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِلِقَاءِ اللَّهِ وَمَا كَانُوا مُهْتَدِينَ﴾ ٦، ﴿أَلا إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُمَارُونَ فِي السَّاعَةِ لَفِي ضَلالٍ بَعِيدٍ﴾ ٧، ﴿وَنَحْشُرُهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ عُمْياً وَبُكْماً وَصُمّاً مَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ كُلَّمَا خَبَتْ زِدْنَاهُمْ سَعِيراً ذَلِكَ جَزَاؤُهُمْ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِآياتِنَا وَقَالُوا أَإِذَا كُنَّا عِظَاماً وَرُفَاتاً أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ خَلْقاً جَدِيداً أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأرْضَ قَادِرٌ عَلَى أَنْ يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَهُمْ أَجَلاً لا رَيْبَ فِيهِ فَأَبَى الظَّالِمُونَ إِلاّ كُفُوراً﴾ ٨. وقال: ﴿وَقَالُوا أَإِذَا كُنَّا عِظَاماً وَرُفَاتاً أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ خَلْقاً جَدِيداً﴾ ٩؛ فرد الله عليهم بقوله: ﴿قُلْ كُونُوا حِجَارَةً أَوْ حَدِيداً أَوْ خَلْقاً مِمَّا يَكْبُرُ فِي صُدُورِكُمْ فَسَيَقُولُونَ مَنْ يُعِيدُنَا قُلِ الَّذِي فَطَرَكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ فَسَيُنْغِضُونَ إِلَيْكَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَى هُوَ قُلْ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ قَرِيباً يَوْمَ يَدْعُوكُمْ فَتَسْتَجِيبُونَ بِحَمْدِهِ وَتَظُنُّونَ إِنْ لَبِثْتُمْ إِلاّ قَلِيلاً﴾ ١٠. قال شارح "الطحاوية"على هذه الآيات الكريمة: "فتأمل ما أجيبوا به عن كل سؤال على التفصيل؛ فإنهم قالوا أولاً: ﴿أَإِذَا كُنَّا عِظَاماً وَرُفَاتاً أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ خَلْقاً جَدِيدا﴾ ١١؛ فقيل لهم في جواب هذا السؤال: إن كنتم
