“When we and our forefathers have become dust, shall we be brought back to life again?”

Explanation

These readings convey the same meaning in slightly different ways. The first has two clauses, each with the interrogative hamzah: one reinforces the other. The second reading has the hamzah in the second position only. The third has it in the first position, and the second has two successive nuns, which is another form of innā and is based on the same skeletal form.

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
