Transliteration:( Fa'too bi aabaaa'inaaa inkuntum saadiqeen )
37. This means that if the concept of resurrection is true, then raise our deceased forefathers back to life. This type of talk is just as foolish as someone saying regarding a new sapling that if it's bearing of fruit is true, then obtain fruit from it at once. All the work takes place in its own time
The tafsir of Surah Ad-Dukhan verse 36 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Dukhan ayat 34 which provides the complete commentary from verse 34 through 37.
(44:36) Bring back to us our fathers if you are truthful.”[31]
31. This was their reasoning: We have never seen a dead person resurrected to life. Therefore, we believe that there will be no other life after death. If you claim that there will be another life, then resurrect our forefathers from their graves, so that we are convinced of the life after death. If you do not do this, we would think that your claim is false. This was, as they thought, a very strong argument for the refutation of life after death, whereas it was absurd. Nobody had told them that the dead would return to this very world after being raised back to life, nor the Prophet (peace be upon him), nor any Muslim had ever claimed that he could raise the dead back to life.
