Vegetation and ressurection exampleGod says in quran:
35:9 It is God who sends forth the winds; they raise up the clouds; We drive them to a dead land and with them revive the earth after its death: such will be the Resurrection.Abu Hurayrah (AS) narrated that Allah's Messenger Muhammed (PBUH) said:
“
The earth would consume every part of the son of Adam (after his death) except for one bone; the coccyx (the bone at the base of the vertebral column) from which he is created and from which his body will be reconstituted on the Day of Resurrection”.
Narrated Al–Amash: Abu Huraira said, “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Between the two sounds of the trumpet, there will be forty.” Somebody asked Abu Huraira, “Forty days?” But he refused to reply. Then he asked, “Forty months?” He refused to reply. Then he asked, “Forty years?” Again, he refused to reply. Abu Huraira added. “Then (after this period) Allah will send water from the sky and then the dead bodies will grow like vegetation grows, There is nothing of the human body that does not decay except one bone; that is the little bone at the end of the coccyx of which the human body will be recreated on the Day of Resurrection.” (See Hadith No. 338)
(Sahih Bukhari: Book # 6, Prophetic Commentary on the Qur’an (Tafseer of the Prophet (S. A. W.), Volume # 60: Hadith # 457)
If God created in this world natural process that from little seed grow big tree, with leafs why would it be difficult for him to create a human again from coccys bone wich resembles a seed into a a body with flesh and bones, just look at examples bellow, similarity between creation of trees and humans, that is why God says that humans will be recreated on the day of judgment like plants/trees/vegetation
coccyx bone similiarity to the plant seed
Shortcut to Judgment day God says in quran:
16:38 They(unbelievers) have sworn by God with their strongest oaths that He will not raise the dead to life. But He will- it is His binding promise, though most people do not realize it-
39 in order to make clear for them what they have differed about and so that the disbelievers may realize that what they said was false.
40 When We will something to happen, all that We say is, ‘Be,’ and it is. The day of ressurection can come every minute or second?How? when a person dies, he does not feel how the time pass, it is like a spleeping person does not feel how clock ticks on the wall, and when you are wake up you think that you were in sleep just a little bit but in fact, you were maybe 12 hours.
Prophet Muhammed said:
“Sleep is the brother of death....” (Al-Bayhaqi)How do we know that a dead person does not feel how the time pass?
God answers in quran:
1, proof
2:259 Or take the one who passed by a ruined town. He said, ‘How will God give this life when it has died?’ So God made him die for a hundred years, and then raised him up, saying, ‘How long did you stay like that?’ He answered, ‘A day, or part of a day.’ God said, ‘No, you stayed like that for a hundred years. Look at your food and drink: they have not gone bad. Look at your donkey- We will make you a sign for the people- look at the bones: see how We bring them together and clothe them with flesh!’ When all became clear to him, he said, ‘Now I know that God has power over everything.’
2. proof
30:55 On the day when the Hour of Doom comes, the criminals will swear that they have remained (in their graves) for no more than an hour. They had been inventing lies in this way.
56 But those who were given the knowledge and belief will say: You have indeed stayed in the decree of Allah until the Day of Restoration; so this is the Day of Restoration, but you did not know.”
57 On that Day the evildoers’ excuses will be of no use to them: they will not be allowed to make amends. Ressurection plant in this worldand finally did you know that there was so called ressurection plants here on this world, plants wich dies and ressurect from death?
