Ca n anyone bring the dead back to life?

ar fr

Can you revive a dead person ?.

Praise be t o Allaah.

One of the basic principles of sound belief (aqeedah) is belief in Allaah

and that He is the only One Who can give life and cause death. The o ne

who claims that someone ot her than Allaah is able t o give life and cause

death is a kaafir. Even the mushrikeen in their Jaahiliyyah (ignorance) did

not believe such a thing of their idols and gods.

Allaah says (interpretat ion of the meaning):

How can you disbelieve in Allaah? Seeing that you were dead and He

gave you life. Then He will give you death, then again will bring you to life

(on the Day of Resurrection) and then unto Him you will return

[al-Baqarah 2:28]

and it is He Who gives life to the dead, and it is He Who is Able to do all

things

[al-Hajj 22:6]

It is He, Who gave you life, and then will cause you to die, and will again

give you l ife (on the Day of Resurrection). Verily, man is indeed an ingrate

[al-Hajj 22:66]

Allaah has stated that ot her so-called gods are incapable of creating,

granting provision, giving life or causing death.


Allaah is He Who created you, then provided food for you, then wi ll

cause you to die, then (again) He wi ll give you li fe (on the Day of

Resurrection). Is there any of your (socalled) partners (of Allaah) that do

anything of that? Glory be to Him! And Exalted be He above all that (evil)

they associate (with Him)

[al-Room 30:40]

Shaykh Muhammad al-Ameen al-Shanqeeti said:

The words of Allaah in this verse Is there any of your (socalled)

partners (of Allaah) that do anything of that? Glory be to Him! And

Exalted be He above all that (evil) they associate (with Him) clearly

indicate that not one of those partners was able to do anything of that

which is mentioned in the verse, including giving life, which is referred to in

the words created you, causing death, which is referred to in the words

will cause you to die , and resurrecting, which is referred to in the words

then (again) He will give you life. Allaah states that they do not have

the power of resurrect ion in the words (interpretat ion of the meaning):

Or have they taken (for worship) aalihah (gods) from the earth who raise

the dead?

[al-Anbiya 21:21]

Allaah states that they do not have the power of giving life or

resurrecting, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):

Say: Is there of your (Allaahs so-called) partners one that originates

the creation and then repeats it? Say: Allaah originates the creation and

then He repeats it. Then how are you deluded away (from the truth)?

[Yoonus 10:34]

And He st ates that He alone is t he One in Whose hand are death and

life, in many verses, such as the following (interpretation of the

meaning):

And no person can ever die except by Al laahs Leave and at an

appointed term

[Aal Imraan 3:145]

And Allaah grants respite to none when his appointed time (death)

comes

[al-Munaafiqoon 63:11]

Verily, the term of Allaah when it comes, cannot be delayed

[Nooh 71:4]

How can you disbelieve in Allaah? Seeing that you were dead and He

gave you life. Then He will give you death, then again will bring you to life

(on the Day of Resurrection) and then unto Him you will return

[al-Baqarah 2:28]

They will say: Our Lord! You have made us to die twice (i.e. we were

dead in the loins of our fathers and dead after our life in this world), and

You have given us life twice (i.e. life when we were born and life when we

are resurrected)!

[Ghaafir 40:11]

And there are other similar verses.

What we have mentioned of how these verses explain one another is

something that no Muslim has any excuse for not knowing. End quote.

Adwa al-Bayaan (6/271).

One of the signs or miracles of Eesa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him)

was that he was able to bring the dead back to life by Allaahs Leave;

Eesa (peace be upon him) would not have been able to do that if his

Lord had not willed it.


And will make him [Eesa (Jesus)] a Messenger to the Children of Israel

(saying): I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I design for

you out of clay, a figure like that of a bird, and breathe into it, and it

becomes a bird by Allaahs Leave; and I heal him who was born blind,

and the leper, and I bring the dead to life by Allaahs Leave

[Aal Imraan 3:49]

(Remember) when Allaah will say (on the Day of Resurrection). O Eesa

(Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Remember My Favour to you and to yourmother when I supported you with RoohulQudus [Jibreel (Gabriel)] so

that you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and when I

taught you writing, AlHikmah (the power of understanding), the Tawraat

(Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel); and when you made out of the clay, a

figure like that of a bird, by My Permission, and you breathed into it, and

it became a bird by My Permission, and you healed those born blind, and

the lepers by My Permission, and when you brought forth the dead by My

Permission

[al-Maaidah 5:110]

As f or what his oppo nent said to Ibraaheem (peace be upon him) about

being able to give life and cause death, this is among the most foolish

and falsest of claims. Hence when Ibraaheem (peace be upon him)

debated with him he defeated that kaafir in argument and proved the

falseness of his claim.


Have you not looked at him who disputed with Ibraaheem (Abraham)

about his Lord (Allaah), because Allaah had given him the kingdom?

When Ibraaheem (Abraham) said (to him): My Lord (Allaah) is He Who

gi ve s life and causes death. He said, I give life and cause death.

Ibraaheem (Abraham) said, Verily, Allaah brings the sun from the east;

then bring it you from the west. So the disbeliever was utterly defeated.

And Allaah guides not the people, who are Zaalimoon (wrongdoers)

[al-Baqarah 2:258]

No human being can claim that he is able to bring the dead back to life. Ifanyone claims that, then here are the Messengers, Prophets and great

men who died let him bring them back to life if his claim is true!

And Allaah knows best.
