Reproducing the dead (L-332)

وَإِذ قالَ إِبراهيمُ
رَبِّ أَرِني كَيفَ تُحيِي المَوتىٰ ۖ قالَ أَوَلَم تُؤمِن ۖ قالَ بَلىٰ وَلٰكِن
لِيَطمَئِنَّ قَلبي ۖ قالَ فَخُذ أَربَعَةً مِنَ الطَّيرِ فَصُرهُنَّ إِلَيكَ
ثُمَّ اجعَل عَلىٰ كُلِّ جَبَلٍ مِنهُنَّ جُزءًا ثُمَّ ادعُهُنَّ يَأتينَكَ
سَعيًا ۚ وَاعلَم أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزيزٌ حَكيمٌ260. |

260. And when
Abraham said, “My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead.” He said,
“Have you not believed?” He said, “Yes, but to put my heart at ease.” He
said, “Take four birds, and incline them to yourself, then place a part on
each hill, then call to them; and they will come rushing to you. And know
that God is Powerful and Wise.” |
Kayfa – (how), here it is clear that Prophet Abraham (Peace be upon him) did not expose his doubt in becoming alive of the dead, but he asked only that in which special condition will they be brought back to life. What the particular method would be adopted to give them life again?
min-hunna juz- ‘an – {a part of their (the birds’) bodies each}), that is to say; pieces from the mixed minced-meat of those four birds.
In the verses numbers 255-257, God commanded after describing about His Omnipotence and Greatness that the Paths of Guidance and Straying have been separated (The right direction is henceforth distinct from error). Therefore, now every sensible person should adopt the Path of goodness.
Then, Holy Qur’an explained after mentioning different incidents that; in spite of opening the Paths of right and error clearly, some people go astray. In this connection, stories of Abraham (Peace be upon him) and Namrud, power of giving life to the dead, and Ezra (Peace be up[on him) were told. In this verse, one more story of Abraham has been described.
