An-Nazi'at 79:10–14
One single blast
يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ ١٠ أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًۭا نَّخِرَةًۭ ١١ قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًۭا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌۭ ١٢ فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ ١٣ فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ ١٤
The meaning, simply
The deniers say: 'Will we really be brought back to life after death, when we have become crumbling bones? That would be a losing return.' But it will be only one single blast, and suddenly they will be alive on the face of the earth.
