Allah has the power rise the death!
Yes, according to the Qur'an, Allah has raised the dead in several instances as a demonstration of His power and a sign for humanity. Here are some key examples:
### 1. **The Story of the Israelites and the Cow (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:72-73)**
- Some Israelites were commanded to slaughter a cow and strike a dead man with a piece of it. When they did so, Allah brought him back to life to reveal his murderer.
- **Qur'an 2:73**: *"So We said, ‘Strike him with a piece of it.’ Thus does Allah bring the dead to life, and He shows you His signs that you may reason."*
### 2. **The People of the Cave (Ashab al-Kahf) (Surah Al-Kahf 18:9-26)**
- A group of righteous youths were put to sleep (in a state resembling death) for centuries and then resurrected as a sign of Allah’s power over life and death.
- **Qur'an 18:17-18**: *"And you would have seen the sun, when it rose, declining to the right of their cave, and when it set, turning away from them to the left, while they lay in the midst of the cave..."* (Their long sleep is likened to death and revival.)
### 3. **Prophet Uzair (Ezra) (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:259)**
- A man (traditionally believed to be Uzair) passed by a ruined town and wondered how Allah could restore it. Allah caused him to die for 100 years and then brought him back to life, showing him the revival of his donkey and the town.
- **Qur'an 2:259**: *"Or like the one who passed by a township which had fallen into ruin. He said, ‘How will Allah bring this to life after its death?’ So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years; then He revived him..."*
### 4. **The Birds of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:260)**
- Prophet Ibrahim asked Allah to show him how He gives life to the dead. Allah commanded him to take four birds, cut them into pieces, scatter them on mountain tops, and then call them—the birds were miraculously restored to life.
- **Qur'an 2:260**: *"And when Abraham said, ‘My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead.’ He said, ‘Have you not believed?’ He said, ‘Yes, but to satisfy my heart.’ Allah said, ‘Take four birds and train them to come to you. Then place a part of them on each hill and call them; they will come to you in haste. And know that Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.’"*
### 5. **Prophet Isa (Jesus) Raising the Dead (Surah Al-Imran 3:49, Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:110)**
- By Allah’s permission, Prophet Isa (Jesus) brought the dead back to life.
- **Qur'an 3:49**: *"And [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], ‘Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah. And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead—by permission of Allah.’"*
- **Qur'an 5:110**: *"When Allah will say, ‘O Jesus, Son of Mary, remember My favor upon you… when you brought forth the dead by My permission…’"*
### **Conclusion**
The Qur'an affirms that Allah has the power to raise the dead, both as a miraculous sign for prophets and as proof of His ability to resurrect all of humanity on the Day of Judgment. These stories emphasize belief in Allah’s omnipotence and the certainty of the Hereafter.
