Sura 17
Aya 98
98
ذٰلِكَ جَزاؤُهُم بِأَنَّهُم كَفَروا بِآياتِنا وَقالوا أَإِذا كُنّا عِظامًا وَرُفاتًا أَإِنّا لَمَبعوثونَ خَلقًا جَديدًا

(Muntakhab)

This is in requital of their denial of Allah's Omnipotence and Authority and of their refusal to acknowledge His revelations and signs evincing both His Godhead and His divine nature. And they insolently voice their denial of Resurrection. Thus: "Is it conceivable", they exclaim: "that when We have been reduced to bones and dust We will be restored to life and be created anew!"
