Scepticism about the Resurrection and Its Refutation

Allah tells us about the idolators who deny the Resurrection, considering it extremely unlikely that bodies will be re-created after they have become bones and dust. Then He says:

لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا هَـذَا نَحْنُ وَءَابَآؤُنَا مِن قَبْلُ

Chapter 27, Page 383, Juz 20

67. The disbelievers ask, “When we and our fathers are reduced to dust, will we really be brought forth ˹alive˺? 68. We have already been promised this, as well as our forefathers earlier. This is nothing but ancient fables!” 69. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Travel throughout the land and see the fate of the wicked.” 70. Do not grieve for them, nor be distressed by their schemes. 71. They ask ˹the believers˺, “When will this threat come to pass, if what you say is true?” 72. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Perhaps some of what you seek to hasten is close at hand.” 73. Surely your Lord is ever Bountiful to humanity, but most of them are ungrateful. 74. And surely your Lord knows what their hearts conceal and what they reveal. 75. For there is nothing hidden in the heavens or the earth without being ˹written˺ in a perfect Record. 76. Indeed, this Quran clarifies for the Children of Israel most of what they differ over. 77. And it is truly a guide and mercy for the believers. 78. Your Lord will certainly judge between them by His justice, for He is the Almighty, All-Knowing. 79. So put your trust in Allah, for you are surely upon the ˹Path of˺ clear truth. 80. You certainly cannot make the dead hear ˹the truth˺. Nor can you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs and walk away. 81. Nor can you lead the blind out of their misguidance. You can make none hear ˹the truth˺ except those who believe in Our revelations, ˹fully˺ submitting ˹to Allah˺. 82. And when the decree ˹of the Hour˺ comes to pass against them, We will bring forth for them a beast from the earth, telling them that the people had no sure faith in Our revelations.
