And they swear by Allāh their strongest oaths [that] Allāh will not resurrect one who dies. But yes - [it is] a true promise [binding] upon Him, but most of the people do not know.

இறந்தவர்களை அல்லாஹ் (உயிர்ப்பித்து) எழுப்ப மாட்டான் என்று அவர்கள் அல்லாஹ்வின் மீது பிரமாணமாகச் சத்தியம் செய்கிறார்கள். அப்படியல்ல! (உயிர் கொடுத்து எழுப்புவதான அல்லாஹ்வின்) வாக்கு மிக்க உறுதியானதாகும்; எனினும் மக்களில் பெரும்பாலோர் இதை அறிந்து கொள்வதில்லை.

තවද මියැදෙන්නන් අල්ලාහ් අවදි නො කරනු ඇතැයි ඔවුන් ස්ථීර විශ්වාසයෙන් යුතුව අල්ලාහ් මත දිවුරා පවසති. එසේ නොව එය ඔහු වෙත වූ සැබෑ ප්‍රතිඥාවකි. එනමුත් ජනයා අතරින් බහුතරයක් දෙනා (ඒ බව) නො දනිති.

他们指真主而发出最严重的誓言,说:真主不使死人复活。不然!这是他应当实践的诺言。但世人大半不知道。

Tafsir of 16:38

The Resurrection after Death is true, there is Wisdom behind it, and it is easy for Allah Allah tells us that the idolators swore by Allah their strongest oaths, meaning that they made oaths swore fervently that Allah would not resurrect the one who died.

Then Allah mentions His wisdom and the reason why He will resurrect mankind physically on the Day of Calling (between the people of Fire and of Paradise). He says, لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ (In order that He may make clear to them) means, to mankind, الَّذِى يَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ (what they differed over,) means, every dispute.…
