The state of Resurrection

[AQ]

@Crescent_

^ True, but even Ibrahim a.s. was curious as to how Allah swt ressurected the dead (or will later on).

The story of the birds.

but what is the moral of the story of Ibraheem (AS)? :)

Why it is told to us? What is the guidance provided in it?

Re: The state of Resurrection

I don't know, we try to resolve all the issue on human terms.
We try to make sense of things based on what we have seen and have experienced.
I have feeling that jannah and jahanum are 2 points present in the universe.

Where we will stay in the life after. The way God defined time in jannah, it make sense too since time is not constant on different location of the universe.
They are clear hints in Quran but I guess it wasn't a good idea to write equation in holy book.

Here is my take on the issue:

• Does such knowledge bear any benefits in the life hereafter? If yes, how?

• Should we not work in improving our aa’maaL so that we win on the resurrection day (as described in Surah Taghabun) rather than worrying about in what age we will be resurrected in?

• As such, there is no mention of age on the day of resurrection as per my knowledge - the only details I recall from ahaadeeth is that everyone will be resurrected naked, men uncircumcized…

• The age of people who will enter in Jannah are, however, mentioned in ahaadeeth… If I remember correctly, age of a man who will enter Jannah will be 32/33 and a woman will be 18…

Wallah-O-Alam!

All women except Zulekha…She will be older…since She bargained it away to be Young for Yusuf (ES)

First of all i'd like to thank everyone for their responses. Secondly, after a bit of digging up i too found out that while the earth shall consume the body after burial, the spinal cord and specifically the end bone will remain, and it will be from therein that the body would take shape again on Resurrection.

Now, i fully understand that. It's well. But.......do the bones become ashes for the people who are cremated? If so, how does that work? Because some people prefer to bury the ashes, others like to spread them in the ocean/sea/lake, etc. They will surely be gathered, no doubt about that. But just how? A curiosity if you will...

Again, there may not be a conclusive response to this, because Allah (swt) knows all. Just thought i'd put it out there again for everyone to ponder as i've been pondering for the past few days, and see if we can discuss that possibly get some insight on how that might work.

Thank you so much in advance.

:).....You need not ponder anymore........good ole science comes to the rescue..........the DNA is preserved for every person..in our bones etc....if man can replicate dolly the sheep.......you think our Khalik (SWT) can not put together each one of us.........:)
