Denial of resurrection after death by the polytheists and response to them

Yet they say: "When we are turned to bones and bits, shall we be raised as a new creation?"

Your Lord knows whoever is in the heavens and the earth. We exalted some of the prophets over the others; and to David We gave the Book of Psalms.
