S 2:67-73 And when Musa said to his people: Allah commands you to slaughter a cow. They said: Do you take us as a quip? He said: I take refuge in Allah that I be of the ignorant. They said: Invoke your lord for us to make clear to us what it is. He said: He says: It is a cow, not old or a heifer, middle-aged between that. So do what you are commanded. They said: Invoke your lord for us to make clear to us what its colour is. He said: He says: It is a cow, bright yellow is its colour. Easing to the beholders. They said: Invoke your lord for us to make clear to us what it is. Cows look alike to us. And we, if Allah wills, are guided. He said: He says: It is a cow, not acquiescent ploughing the land nor watering the tilth, sound, no spot in it. They said: Now you have come with the truth. So they slaughtered it and they almost did not. And when you killed a soul then you disputed concerning it and Allah brings out what you were concealing. So we said: Hit him with some of it. Thus does Allah vivify the dead and he shows you his signs; perhaps you will comprehend.
"Thus does Allah vivify the dead". So Allah must be causing dead people today to be resurrected, with a piece of cow. And on resurrection day would it be having the dead vivified by this means?
The passage above is a mangled version of Deuteronomy 21:1-9
1If one be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him: 2Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain: 3And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke; 4And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley: 5And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried: 6And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley: 7And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it. 8Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them. 9So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD. https://biblehub.com/kjv/deuteronomy/21.htm
