| In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate!
Or take the case of the one who passed by a township that had fallen down upon its roofs.*1 He exclaimed, "How shall Allah bring back to life this township that has become dead?" *2 At this Allah caused him to die and he lay dead for a hundred years.Then Allah brought him back to l...ife and asked him,"How long have you lain here?" He answered. "I might have lain here for a day or a few hours." Allah said, "Nay, you have been lying here in this state for a hundred years: now, just have a look at your food and your drink;they have not become spoiled in the least.Then have a look at your ass, (and see that his very bones have become rotten)and We have done this in order to make you a Sign for the people.*3Look, how We raise up the skeleton and set the bones (of the ass) and cover them with fleshand (put breath of life into them)." And when the Reality became manifest to him,he said, "I know that Allah has power over everything." (Surah-2 Al-Baqarah ~ Ayah-259)
Explanation: *1- It is irrelevant to ask who the person was and the place where this incident occurred. The real purpose in mentioning this event is to show how Allah showed light to the one who had chosen Allah as his protector and supporter. As for determining the name of the person and the locality, we neither possess the means to do so, nor is such an endeavour in any way beneficial. What seems to be evident from the statement that follows is that the person concerned must necessarily have been a Prophet. *2- This question does not signify that the person concerned denied or entertained any doubts regarding life after death. His enquiry merely indicates his wish to have direct knowledge of reality, like the Prophets of the past. *3- The restoration of life to a man considered to have died a hundred years ago was in itself sufficient to make him, for his contemporaries, a living testimony.
