The answer

Belief in Allah's omnipotence and His ability to resurrect the dead is fundamental, for Allah created everything and has power over all things. Whoever denies Allah's ability to restore bodies after their decay has demonstrated ignorance of Allah's power. Allah Almighty, who initiated creation the first time, is able to restore it, and this is even easier for Him. Among the proofs of His power are the creation of man from nothingness, the creation of Adam from dust, the generation of a child from elderly parents or a barren mother, and the creation of the heavens and the earth, which is greater than the creation of people. On the Day of Resurrection, souls will return to their bodies and remain therein. As for the people of the Fire, whenever their skins are burned up, Allah will replace them with other skins so that they may taste the torment.
