Question:
Please provide proofs that a hereafter and a resurrection day can possibly exist.
Answer:
Proofs for the Possibility of the Hereafter
1. First Creation
The human body is made up of several chemical elements. The elements include minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, copper, etc. Mankind is created from soil and will return to soil. Therefore, as the creation of man from soil happened the first time, it can happen again on the Day of Resurrection.
2. Might of God
Another way to prove the possibility of Resurrection Day is to consider the might of God. As the belief in Hereafter comes after believing in God, we are logically permitted to present religious proof. The Almighty God is capable of bringing the disintegrated parts of bodies back to normal. The Quran 36:81, 46:33
3. Resurrection of Plants
The third way to prove the possibility of resurrection is the continuous resurrection of plants. Every year we observe the law of death and return to life, in the world of plants. They all die in winter and return to life in spring. Also, dead soil returns to life after absorbing the first drops of rain. The Quran 7:57, 35:9, 50:9-11
4. Resurrection of Energy
We are living in a world in which everything dies and its remains remain. However, among all dying things, the death of energies is more astonishing. They seem to die forever, yet they change to a different type of energy. The basic law of physics dictates that energy is conserved and can only be changed from one form to another or into matter. That’s what makes the energy renewable. Solar energy for instance, is a renewable energy which replenishes itself naturally in a relatively short time. Therefore, the light of the sun being a solar energy never really dies. It will be stored in another matter, though in a potential form like a compressed spring, until it is released. That’s the secret behind creating energy by burning a piece of wood. Therefore, when a piece of wood is burnt, it is as if a dead solar energy resurrected again. The Quran 36:79-80.
