The present paper focuses on the concept of the miraculous power of the divine word in the creation of the world. This old concept, a part of which is illustrated in the various religious systems in the pre-Islamic Near East is the same supernatural power of the creation that is shown in the Qur‟an with the phrase kun fa-yakūn “be! And it is!” as well as in the Jewish literature, esp. in the Hebrew Book of Enoch with the cosmic power of the twenty-two characters of the alphabet. Christian Texts, and specifically the Revelation of John, show it in the form of a phrase quoted by Jesus Christ. This study, which is textologically based upon the diachronic and synchronic approaches, shows some rational structural links between Mani‟s thinking and the Jewish as well as Christian thoughts on one side and the Qur‟anic phrase kun fa-yakūn on the other. This Qur‟anic expression in this form has certainly no parallel in the previous systems, though the prototype of the concept of the God‟s creation with His word can be found in the Babylonian, Jewish, Christian, and Manichaean literatures. The Qur‟an is the Word of God, and God has undoubtedly expressed it with the cultural language of the world that has been recognized and experienced throughout history. The Qur‟an did not teach any of its teachings with the concepts that mankind has not had any form of it in his historical mind or has not somehow been familiar with it in any way.

The original element or elements of the creation of the world has been studied by scientists from a long time ago. For some philosophers, the original element of creation is immaterial and made of “light” and / or “reason”. To another group, water, air, fire or the four elements are considered as the initial and original elements of creation of the material world. To show Hekmat, knowledge and power of God to human, the holy Quran has pointed to the original elements and the process of creation and it talks about the existence of “water”, “smoke” and occurrence of “mending” and “rending” at the beginning of creation. The cosmologists and physicists have proposed various hypotheses in this regard by enjoying experimental instruments and methods. The initial fireball with a very high density and temperature in the Big Bang Theory has been considered to be the central point. Some other scientists have proposed other basic particles as an explanation for the initial point and a part of creation process. These findings are compatible with some teachings of the Quran and this could be deemed as one of the scientific wonders of the Quran.

Resurrection is examined from a variety of perspectives such as its possibility, as well as its necessity and manner, and is proved through a variety of methods (rational, narrative, and Quranic). Allameh Tabataba’i has explored the issue of resurrection in his works from different perspectives using different methods. In his Commentary, he referred to several verses of the Quran to investigate the possibility of resurrection. In all, resurrection is proved through three types of Quranic verses, each of which provide one type of argument. The first argument is the power of God. The unending and unlimited power of God and His power in creation of man and the world are indicative of the realization of the Hereafter. The second argument is revival of the earth in the spring which is a sign of the revival of humans in the Hereafter, as man’s resurrection on the Day of Doom is based on the same principles as revival of the plants. The third argument refers to the objective instances of resurrection. The Quran offers a series of instances referring to the revival of the dead so objectively that all are accurate examples of the life after death.
