📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Mu’minoon – Verse 37

"That is not but our life of this world that we die and we [58] live and we are not to be raised up [59]."

✅ [58] A Materialistic View of Life

The disbelievers held the belief that life and death are merely natural cycles—some are born, others die—and this process continues aimlessly. This indicates they rejected the immortality of the soul, believing that death brings complete extinction.

✅ [59] Denial of Resurrection and Afterlife

They denied both resurrection in the Hereafter and any form of rebirth, such as returning as animals. Their belief was that once a person dies, the soul perishes entirely—a clear rejection of life after death and divine judgment.
