Sorry, this is incorrect.
The correct answer is : They did not believe in his promise of life after death
Ref: Surah Al-Mu’minun 23:35
Arabic:
أَيَعِدُكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ إِذَا مِتُّمْ وَكُنتُمْ تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَنَّكُم مُّخْرَجُونَ ٣٥
Translation:
Does he promise you that once you are dead and reduced to dust and bones, you will be brought forth ˹alive˺?
Tafseer / Explanation:
-
This verse quotes the disbelievers’ rejection of resurrection.
-
They question if, after dying and becoming dust, they will truly be raised again.
-
Their tone reflects mockery and disbelief in the Hereafter.
-
Such denial stems from arrogance and attachment to worldly life.
-
Allah highlights their attitude to show the folly of rejecting divine truth.
