23:82
قَالُوا أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ٨٢
They say: "What! when we die and become dust and bones, could we really be raised up again?
23:83
لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا نَحْنُ وَآبَاؤُنَا هَٰذَا مِنْ قَبْلُ إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ ٨٣
"Such things have been promised to us and to our fathers before! they are nothing but tales of the ancients!"

Say: "To whom belong the earth and all beings therein? (say) if ye know!"
23:85
سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ ۚ قُلْ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ٨٥
They will say, "To Allah!" say: "Yet will ye not receive admonition?"
