Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Resurrection is RealAllah said that they ask you to inform them (saying): أَحَقٌّ هُوَ("Is it true") asking about the return and the Resurrection from the graves, after the bodies become sand. قُلْ إِى وَرَبِّى إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ وَمَآ أَنتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِينَ(Say: "Yes! By my Lord! It is the very truth! And you cannot escape it!") meaning that becoming sand does not make Allah incapable of bringing you back, since He originated you from nothing.
