What Does the Quran Say About Bones?

Bones are mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

 

[2:259] Consider the one who passed by a ghost town and wondered, “How can God revive this after it had died?” God then put him to death for a hundred years, then resurrected him. He said, “How long have you stayed here?” He said, “I have been here a day, or part of the day.” He said, “No! You have been here a hundred years. Yet, look at your food and drink; they did not spoil. Look at your donkey – we thus render you a lesson for the people. Now, note how we construct the bones, then cover them with flesh.” When he realized what had happened, he said, “Now I know that God is Omnipotent.”

[6:146] For those who are Jewish we prohibited animals with undivided hoofs; and of the cattle and sheep we prohibited the fat, except that which is carried on their backs, or in the viscera, or mixed with bones. That was a retribution for their transgressions, and we are truthful.

[17:49] They said, “After we turn into bones and fragments, we get resurrected anew?!”

[17:98] Such is their just retribution, since they rejected our revelations. They said, “After we turn into bones and fragments, do we get resurrected into a new creation?”

[19:4] He said, “My Lord, the bones have turned brittle in my body, and my hair is aflame with gray. As I implore You, my Lord, I never despair.

[23:14] Then we developed the drop into a hanging (embryo), then developed the hanging (embryo) into a bite-size (fetus), then created the bite-size (fetus) into bones, then covered the bones with flesh. We thus produce a new creature. Most blessed is God, the best Creator.

[23:35] “Does he promise you that, after you die and turn into dust and bones, you will come out again?

[23:82] They said, “After we die and become dust and bones, we get resurrected?

[36:78] He raises a question to us – while forgetting his initial creation – “Who can resurrect the bones after they had rotted?”

[37:16] “After we die and become dust and bones, do we get resurrected?

[37:53] ” `After we die and turn into dust and bones, do we get called to account?’ “

[56:47] They said, “After we die and turn to dust and bones, we get resurrected?

[75:3] Does the human being think that we will not reconstruct his bones?

[79:11] “How did this happen after we had turned into rotten bones?”
