6:47
Baghtatan (All of a sudden, suddenly)
In order to know about resurrection, the first pre-requisite is the knowledge of certainty. A key to this knowledge is the word "baghtatan". However, we need to see how it is used in the wise Qur’an. You can see that this word is used in the great Qur’an in thirteen places. In one of these places, it is used in contrast to "jahratan (openly, overtly, publicly, 6:47)". This shows that "baghtatan" means secretly and hiddenly and in six places, in contrast to "shucur (consciousness)" it is used to mean unconsciously. Thus, with respect to the masses and the majority of people, resurrection continues to take place hiddenly and unconsciously. This means that resurrection, in reality, is an extremely great, hidden, spiritual event.
