    109. If iron and steel, etc which have no links with life can be recreated, then what about living things being transformed into bones and sands which earlier had life? Remember, the word "BECOME" is a verb for a command, but not to make the command obligatory, but for the purpose of labelling accusation and blame at the rejectors to silence them.

    110. Because these infidels had forgotten the inventor, therefore they had forgotten the one who can recreate them.

    111. The infidels asked three things about their being brought back to life again: how will He bring them back to life, who would bring them back to life, when will He bring them back to life. Answers to all three questions are given separately and in a most exquisite manner.

    112. The use of 'perhaps' by Allah Almighty expresses proof of certainty. This tells us that the Day of Judgement is very near because the 

    coming of the Holy Prophet ? is a major sign about it. The Holy Prophet joining his two blessed fingers together said, "Qiyamat and I are just like this" From this there is a hint that Allah Almighty had bestowed knowledge about the Day of Judgement upon our Holy Prophet.
