۞ قُلْ يَتَوَفَّىٰكُم مَّلَكُ ٱلْمَوْتِ ٱلَّذِى وُكِّلَ بِكُمْ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُونَ
Say, "The angel of death will take you who has been entrusted with you. Then to your Lord you will be returned."

Tafsir
Ibn Kathīr (abridged)
Refutation of Those Who think the Resurrection is unlikely to happen
Allah tells us how the idolators thought it unlikely that the resurrection would ever come to pass, and how they said:
أَءِذَا ضَلَلْنَا فِى الاٌّرْضِ
(When we are lost in the earth,) meaning, `when our bodies have been scattered and have disintegrated and dispersed in the earth,'
أَءِنَّا لَفِى خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ
(shall we indeed be created anew) means, `after that, will we come back again' They thought it unlikely that this would happen, and in terms of their own feeble abilities it is indeed unlikely, but this is not the case with regard to the power of the One Who created them from nothing, Who when He wills a thing merely says to it, "Be!" and it is. Allah says:
