Quranic Wisdom

gives the above argument in the chapter Al-Dhariyat (Scattering
Winds) in these words:
And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth, it is
most surely the truth, just as you do speak. (51:23)
Speech is part of a person, and modern technology has proved
that the speech of a person is repeatable. If a person’s speech is
repeatable, then certainly the personality itself is also repeatable.
In previous centuries this seemed to be a claim, but now it is a
verified fact.
There is also a biological phenomenon that supports this
concept. The human body consists of about ten trillion tiny cells
that can be seen only through microscope. Every single cell in
our body is replaced every seven to ten years. That is, after an
average of ten years our entire body is replaced. In other words,
if a person is ninety years old, it means his physical body has
been replaced nine times. But his personality remains the same
without the slightest change. If in spite of nine “deaths”, the
personality has remained intact, then why must it die when the
physical body dies the tenth time? One philosopher has aptly
stated this reality in these words: ‘Personality is changelessness in
change.’ (The Urantia Book)

Death is like a door through which we go from the present
world into the next world. Death is a reminder of the reality that
there is a world hereafter. We must prepare ourselves to be able
to find a proper place in the next world.
