How can we reconcile the statement of the dwellers of the Fire in Surat Yasin: "They will say, 'Woe to us! Who has resurrected us from our resting place? This is what the Most Merciful promised, and the messengers told the truth,'" with the torment of the people of Pharaoh in Surat Ghafir: "The Fire, they are exposed to it morning and evening, and the Day the Hour is established, [it will be said], 'Admit the people of Pharaoh to the severest torment,'" and the hadiths about the torment and bliss of the grave?
The bliss and torment of the grave are established in the Qur’an and Sunnah, and there is no contradiction between this and the saying of the disbelievers when they are resurrected: "Woe to us! Who has raised us up from our sleeping place?" This is because Allah Almighty lifts the torment from them between the two blasts [of the trumpet], so they sleep, or because the torment of the grave, in comparison to Hell, is like sleep and rest.
