وَإِذْ
قَالَ
إِبْرَاهِيمُ
رَبِّ
أَرِنِي
كَيْفَ
تُحْيِي
الْمَوْتَى
قَالَ
أَوَلَمْ
تُؤْمِن
قَالَ
بَلَى
وَلَكِن
لِّيَطْمَئِنَّ
قَلْبِي
قَالَ
فَخُذْ
أَرْبَعَةً
مِّنَ
الطَّيْرِ
فَصُرْهُنَّ
إِلَيْكَ
ثُمَّ
اجْعَلْ
عَلَى
كُلِّ
جَبَلٍ
مِّنْهُنَّ
جُزْءًا
ثُمَّ
ادْعُهُنَّ
يَأْتِينَكَ
سَعْيًا
وَاعْلَمْ
أَنَّ
اللَّهَ
عَزِيزٌ
حَكِيمٌ

When Abraham prayed, "Lord, show me how you bring the dead back to life," the Lord said, "Do you not yet believe?" Abraham replied, "I believe but want more confidence for my heart." God told him, "Take four birds, induce them to come to you, cut and scatter their bodies leaving parts on every mountain top, then call them and they will swiftly come to you." Know that God is Majestic and Wise.
