The Children of Israel
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE
[17:98]
Such will be their requital for having rejected Our messages and having said, "After we will have become bones and dust, shall we, forsooth, be raised from the dead in a new act of creation?"


* v.98 : Implying that this denial of God’s power to resurrect the dead (mentioned in exactly the same phrasing in verse 49 of this sūrah) is equivalent to a denial of His almightiness and, hence, of His Being – all of which is characterized by the words “blind and deaf and dumb” in the preceding verse.
