After we have become dust - we and our forefathers - shall we [all,] forsooth, be brought forth [from the dead]? 67 Assuredly we have been promised this aforetime, we and our fathers.

Thou canst make none hear save these who believe in Our signs and who have submitted themselves. 81 ۞ And when the word befalls them, We will bring forth for them a creature from the earth speaking to them, [saying] that the people were, of Our verses, not certain [in faith]. 82
