اور سب کے سب تیرے رب کے سامنے صف بستہ حاضر کئے جائیں گے۔ یقیناً تم ہمارے پاس اسی طرح آئے جس طرح ہم نے تمہیں پہلی مرتبہ پیدا کیا تھا لیکن تم تو اسی خیال میں رہے کہ ہم ہرگز تمہارے لئے کوئی وعدے کا وقت مقرر کریں گے بھی نہیں

Ala-Maududi
(18:48) They shall be brought before your Lord, all lined up, and shall be told: “Now, indeed, you have come before Us in the manner We created you in the first instance,[45] although you thought that We shall not appoint a tryst (with Us).”
45. This thing will be addressed to those who denied the Hereafter, as if to say: Well, now you see that the information given by the Prophets has come out to be true. They told you that Allah would bring you to life again as He first brought you out from the wombs of your mothers but you disbelieved in it. Now say whether you have been brought to life for the second time or not.
