Often Allah refers to the Resurrection by using the analogy of the earth coming back to life after it has died, as in the beginning of Surat Al-Hajj, where He urges His servants to draw the lesson of the former from the latter. For the earth is dead and lifeless, with nothing growing in it, then He sends to it clouds which bring water, which He sends down upon it,

﴿ط§ظ‡ظ’طھظژط²ظ‘ظژطھظ’ ظˆظژط±ظژط¨ظژطھظ’ ظˆظژط£ظژظ†ط¨ظژطھظژطھظ’ ظ…ظگظ† ظƒظڈظ„ظ‘ظگ ط²ظژظˆظ’ط¬ظچ ط¨ظژظ‡ظگظٹط¬ظچ﴾

(it is stirred (to life), and it swells and puts forth every lovely kind (of growth)) (22:5). So too, when Allah wishes to resurrect the bodies, He will send rain from beneath the Throne which will cover the whole earth, and the bodies will grow in their graves like seeds grow in the earth. It says in the Sahih:

آ«ظƒظڈظ„ظ‘ظڈ ط§ط¨ظ’ظ†ظگ ط¢ط¯ظژظ…ظژ ظٹظژط¨ظ’ظ„ظژظ‰ ط¥ظگظ„ظ‘ظژط§ ط¹ظژط¬ظ’ط¨ظڈ ط§ظ„ط°ظ‘ظژظ†ظژط¨ظگطŒ ظ…ظگظ†ظ’ظ‡ظڈ ط®ظڈظ„ظگظ‚ظژ ظˆظژظ…ظگظ†ظ’ظ‡ظڈ ظٹظڈط±ظژظƒظ‘ظژط¨آ»

(Every part of the son of Adam will disintegrate apart from the coccyx, from which he was created and from him he will be made anew.) Allah says:

﴿ظƒظژط°ظژظ„ظگظƒظژ ط§ظ„ظ†ظ‘ظڈط´ظڈظˆط±ظڈ﴾

As such (will be) the Resurrection! According to the Hظ„ad0th of Abu Raz0n: I said, O Messenger of Alla0h, how will Alla0h bring the dead back to lifeطں What is the sign of that in His creationطں He said:

آ«ظٹظژط§ ط£ظژط¨ظژط§ ط±ظژط²ظگظٹظ†ظچ ط£ظژظ…ظژط§ ظ…ظژط±ظژط±ظ’طھظژ ط¨ظگظˆظژط§ط¯ظگظٹ ظ‚ظژظˆظ’ظ…ظگظƒظژ ظ…ظڈظ…ظ’ط­ظگظ„ظ‹ط§ ط«ظڈظ…ظ‘ظژ ظ…ظژط±ظژط±ظ’طھظژ ط¨ظگظ‡ظگ ظٹظژظ‡ظ’طھظژط²ظ‘ظڈ ط®ظژط¶ظگط±ظ‹ط§آ»

(O Abu Razin, do you not pass through the valley of your people (and see it) arid and barren, then you pass through it (and see it) stirred (to life) and green) I said, `Yes.' He said:

آ«ظپظژظƒظژط°ظژظ„ظگظƒظژ ظٹظڈط­ظ’ظٹظگظٹ ط§ظ„ظ„ظ‡ظڈ ط§ظ„ظ’ظ…ظژظˆظ’طھظژظ‰آ»

(Thus will Allah bring the dead back to life.)''
