6:64
If we accept that Resurrection is the name of spiritual progress and closeness to God, which is possible to happen individually, one by one (6:64), it means that the real Resurrection happens individually, in which is hidden a collective Resurrection also. If this is the case, then no time is devoid of the chain of this spiritual Resurrection. However, it is a different matter, whether the Resurrection is a small or a big one. This concept leads to the question that if this is the case, then why does the Qur'an speak about the happening of the Resurrection mostly, in the future tense? As it says that "the Resurrection is going to come". The answer to this question is that the Resurrection has not consciously happened to the people, except the perfect men. Therefore, with respect to the common people, the Resurrection is mentioned mostly in the future tense. For, in reality, there is no past and no future in any act of God. For past is related to the one from whose hand a portion of time has passed away and the future is related to the one who cannot reach the time which is going to come. But God is the One, in Whose hand of power, all temporal and spatial things are centred and focused in one thing. This means that at the place of Intellect, the entire time turns into a finite and immovable present and prostrates in the Presence of God, as all temporal and spatial things prostrate in His Divine Presence (16:49).
