Surah as-Sajdah (The Prostration) 32 : 10

وَقَالُوٓا۟ أَءِذَا ضَلَلْنَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَءِنَّا لَفِى خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍۭ ۚ بَلْ هُم بِلِقَآءِ رَبِّهِمْ كَٰفِرُونَ

And they say, "When we are lost [i.e., disintegrated] within the earth, will we indeed be [recreated] in a new creation?" Rather, they are, in [the matter of] the meeting with their Lord, disbelievers.

Explanatory Note

In the light of this first miraculous creation of man and its miraculous progress, the sūrah refers to the unbelievers’ objections and doubts about resurrection. These now sound extremely singular: “They say: ‘What! After we have vanished into the earth, shall we be [restored to life] in a new act of creation?’ Nay, they indeed deny that they will be meeting their Lord.”

They cannot imagine that God will create them anew after they have died and become part of the earth. What is strange about this when compared to the first creation? God started man’s creation from clay, which means that its origin goes back to the earth in which they claim their bodies will decompose and be lost. Indeed, the second creation is akin to the first one, with nothing strange about it. Yet the fact is that “they indeed deny that they will be meeting their Lord.” It is such denial that makes them entertain doubts and objections to something true and clear. After all, something akin to it occurs at every moment. Therefore, their objections are answered with a statement making clear that they will die and be resurrected.

7. Period of Revelation

[ edit ]

From the style of the Surah it appears that it was sent down during the early-middle Makkah period. This is due to little reference of the severity of the persecution and tyranny which one finds in the Surahs sent down in the later stages.
