Resurrection And The Hereafter | Resurrection And The Hereafter | 143
(40-157)
Third Part of the Addendum

A question related to the resurrection of the dead:

The frequently repeated verse,

It will be naught but a single cry(1),

and the verse,

The command of the Hour will be like the glance of the eye(2),

show that the resurrection of the dead and Great Gathering will occur instantaneously, in a flash. But man’s narrow reason requires some tangible example so that it can conceive of this wondrous, extraordinary, and unparalleled event, and accept it.

T h e A n s w e r : At the resurrection there will be the return of spirits to their bodies, the revivification of the bodies, and the remaking of the bodies. It consists of three matters.
