Thus, the Qur'an reasserts that God Almighty has the power to resurrect people. In Chapter Baqara (2:67-73), the Holy Qur'an tells us of the incident upon which the chapter was named: Prophet Moses, upon whom be peace, and his people were told by God to slaughter a cow and strike a dead person with part of the slaughtered cow, afterwards the dead man was resurrected and told them who had killed him. The Holy Qur'an relates several miraculous events regarding raising the dead in the present, worldly life. While some suggest that with this intriguing sentence Nursi points to recent developments in medicine such as those involving organ transplantation or the use of ventilators, it appears that this phrase implies going one stage further. He also employs an interesting phrase in this section: “It is even possible to give a temporary tinge of life to death”. In interpreting the verse about the miracles of Jesus, upon whom be peace, in which it is said that Jesus would raise people from the dead by God's leave, Bediuzzaman Said Nursi indicates that there is a cure to every disease which can be found through research. In his Twentieth Word, Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, a 20 th century Islamic scholar and teacher, uses an interesting phrase, where he argues that the miracles of the prophets represent the highest points that scientific developments would ever attain and as such, they are set as goals which humanity should seek to accomplish.
