Surah 50. Qaf, Ayah 4

Lit., "what the earth diminishes of them" - implying that God's promise of resurrection takes the fact of the dead bodies' decomposition fully into account. Consequently, resurrection will be like "a new creation" (cf. 10:4 , 21:104 , 30:11 , 85:13 , etc.), recalling the recurrent process of creation and re-creation visible in all organic nature (cf. 10:34 . 27:64 . 30:27 ).

 Or a Record preserving ˹everything˺.

The earth only corrupts and takes away the body when they are dead; it has no power over the soul. The full account of the soul's doings is in Allah's Record.
