Then He proportioned him and breathed into him from His

[created] soul and made for you hearing and vision and

intellect; little are you grateful. And they say, 'When we

are lost [i.e., disintegrated] within the earth, will we

indeed be [recreated] in a new creation?' Rather, they

are, in the meeting with their Lord, disbelievers. Say, 'The

angel of death will take you who has been entrusted with

you. Then to your Lord you will be returned. 39

The prejudice held by disbelievers hinders them from

comprehending even the most obvious reality. In numerous verses

Allah states that people who deny the Hereafter and assume that

death is their end do not exercise reason:

Have you seen he who has taken as his god his [own]

desire, and Allah has sent him astray due to [His]

knowledge and has set a seal upon his hearing and his

heart and put over his vision a veil? So who will guide him

after Allah? Then will you not be reminded? And they say,

'There is not but our worldly life; we die and live, and

nothing destroys us except time.’ And they have of that no

knowledge; they are only assuming. 40
