English - Five Volume Translation
And they were wont to say, ‘What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we indeed be raised again[a],[4118]
17:50; 23:83; 37:17; 56:48.
Commentary:
Denial of the Resurrection and afterlife whether by word of mouth or conduct is at the root of all sin and crime in the world. This is why, next to belief in the existence of God the greatest stress has been laid in the Quran on life after death. There can be no real and effective check on sin, or incentive to good works, without a true and real belief in life after death.
