Sura al-Qiyama speaks about definiteness of the occurrence of the Day of Resurrection and describes humans in the hereafter in two groups: one group having fresh faces and another group having sad and scowling faces. Then, it reminds that human being chooses this world which is present and forgets about the hereafter and there, he will be chagrined. It also mentions that human being is a witness to himself and his actions, even with he brings excuses and denies it. At the end, it asks deniers if God who creates human being from mere non-existence to sperm and then to a clinging mass, cannot resurrect the dead. | Sura al-Qiyama speaks about definiteness of the occurrence of the Day of Resurrection and describes humans in the [[hereafter]] in two groups: one group having fresh faces and another group having sad and scowling faces.

Verse 3 and 4 : | |||
:"Does man suppose that We will not put together his bones [at resurrection]?, Yes indeed, We are able to [re]shape [even] his fingertips!" | |||
According to [[hadith]]s, these verses were revealed when one of the neighbors of the [[Prophet (s)]] asked about the [[Day of Resurrection]] and asked about how God would gather the bones of the dead and [in the hereafter] recreate human being. The [[Qur'an]] answers to this denial that God not only recreates the bones but will even also recreate the tips of the fingers. It is said that these verses refer to fingerprint and identification of every person with it. Today, fingerprinting is considered completely scientific and scientists have proved that very few people may have similar fingerprints. | According to [[hadith]]s, these verses were revealed when one of the neighbors of the [[Prophet (s)]] asked about the [[Day of Resurrection]] and asked about how God would gather the bones of the dead and [in the hereafter] recreate human being.

This question that only the concepts in the Qur'an are from God, not the actual words, the above verses are mentioned as arguments that "Qur'an-ah" means "reading" and implies that the words of the Qur'an are from God, not anyone else. | :"Do not move your tongue with it to hasten it. Indeed it is up to Us to put it together and to recite it." | ||
