The Ninth Ray About the Resurrection of the Dead
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate.
So [give] glory to God, when you reach eventide and when you rise in the morning; Yea, to Him be praise, in the heavens and on earth; and
in the late afternoon and when the day begins to decline. It is He Who brings out the living from the dead, and brings out the
dead from the living, and Who gives life to the earth after it is dead:
and thus shall you be brought out [from the dead]. Among His Signs is this, that He created you from dust;
and then,behold, you are men scattered [far and wide]! And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from amongyourselves,
that you may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your [hearts]:
verily in that are Signs for those who reflect. And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colours: verily in that are Signs for those who know. And among His Signs is the sleep that you take by night and by day, 
and the quest that you [make for livelihood] out of His bounty:
verily in that are Signs for those who hearken. And among His Signs, He shows you the lightning, by way both of fear and of hope,
and He sends down rain from the sky and with it gives life to the earth after it is dead: verily in that are Signs for those who are wise.
And among His Signs is this, that heaven and earth stand by His command:
then when He calls you, by a single call, from the earth, behold, you [straightway] come forth.
To Him belongs every being that is in the heavens and on earth: all are devoutly obedient to Him.
It is He Who begins [the process of] creation; then repeats it; and for Him it is most easy. To Him belongs the loftiest similitude [we can think of] in the heavens and the earth; for He is Exalted in Might. Full of Wisdom.¹
In this Ninth Ray will be expounded a supreme point of these sublime heavenly verses, which demonstrate one of the poles of belief; these mighty sacred proofs of the resurrection of the dead will be explained. It is a subtle instance of dominical grace that thirty years ago at the end of his work entitled Muhâkemat (Reasonings), which was written to set out the principles of Qur'anic exegesis, the Old Said wrote: "Second Aim: Two Qur'anic verses alluding to the resurrection of the dead will be expounded and explained. In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate." There he stopped and could write no further.
