The following verse is covered in this talk: \n\nOr, (do you not know) the example of the one who passed through a town that had collapsed on its roofs. He said: \u201cHow shall Allah revive this after it is dead?\u201d So, Allah made him dead for a hundred years, then raised him saying: \u201cHow long did you remain (in this state)?\u201d He said: \u201cI remained for a day or part of a day\u201d. Said He: \u201cRather, you remained (dead) for a hundred years. Just look at your food and your drink; it has not spoiled. Now look at your donkey. (We did) this to make you a sign for people! Look at the bones, how We raise them, then dress them with flesh.\u201d So, when it was clear to him, he said: \u201cI know that Allah is Powerful over everything.\u201d 2:259
