Open in Qurani

Surah Al-Qiyamah (The Resurrection): Verses 39–40

Then the Almighty said:

**{فجعل منه الزوجين}** (And He made from him the two kinds,)

Meaning, from the human being, He made the two categories (or sexes).

**{الذكر والانثى}** (The male and the female.)

He then explained them by stating:

**{أليس ذلك بقادر على أن يحيى الموتى}** (Is not that [One] Able to give life to the dead?)

The meaning is: Is not the One who created these things capable of bringing about the resurrection (re-creation)?

It is narrated that when the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, recited this verse, he would say: "Glory be to You! Yes, and praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds."

And peace and blessings be upon our Master Muhammad, the chief of the Messengers, and upon his family and companions.
