    About Surah Al-Qiyamah

    Al-Qiyamah, the Resurrection, answers those who doubted that Allah could bring the dead back to life. It points out that Allah can reassemble even the tips of a person's fingers, describes the moment the eyes are dazzled and the soul reaches the throat, and reminds the human being that they were created for a purpose, not left without account.
