Question:
The questioner says: In the noble verse,[Ghafir 40:11].
Answer:
Yes,[Ghafir 40:11], this is what the disbelievers say when Allah the Exalted resurrects them on the Day of Resurrection and they become aware of their status and the punishment Allah has decreed for them. They seek to return to this world to rectify their deeds. "Our Lord, You caused us to die twice," because they were sperm, and sperm is dead, and then they were in the wombs of their mothers, so Allah the Exalted gave them life, giving life to this sperm, and Allah gives them complete life in the wombs of their mothers. Yes.
The questioner says: In the noble verse,
They will say, "Our Lord, You made us lifeless twice and gave us life twice
قَالُوا رَبَّنَا أَمَتَّنَا اثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَحْيَيْتَنَا اثْنَتَيْنِAnswer:
Yes,
You made us lifeless twice and gave us life twice, and we have confessed our sins
أَمَتَّنَا اثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَحْيَيْتَنَا اثْنَتَيْنِ فَاعْتَرَفْنَا بِذُنُوبِنَا
