At a Glance

According to search-discovered classical Islamic scholarship, Resurrection (Al-Ba'th) is the foundational belief that Allah, in His absolute power, will bring all of humanity back to life on the Day of Judgment (Yawm al-Qiyamah). Ibn Kathir defines Al-Ba'th as 'the resurrection and the raising of souls and bodies on the Day of Resurrection.' This concept is a dominant message of the Quran, which repeatedly refutes the deniers by citing Allah's power in the initial creation and using the revival of dead earth with rain as a powerful analogy. The linguistic root 'ba-ayn-tha' signifies awakening and sending forth, underscoring Allah's attribute as Al-Ba'ith (The Resurrector). Imam al-Ghazali emphasizes that this bodily resurrection is essential for experiencing the rewards and punishments of the afterlife, making it central to divine justice and human accountability. This synthesis across Quranic verses and scholarly traditions establishes resurrection not as a mere possibility, but as a guaranteed and purposeful event central to a Muslim's entire worldview.
