Although (apparently) soul is alive and matter is dead, the Wise Quraan repeatedly says that people of wisdom see that God creates opposites from one another and in view of this it says: “And Who brings forth the living from the dead, and the dead from the living?” (10:31). Thus, the earth is matter and dead (30:19: 36:33) and has been created from soul (in a frozen form), but when it will be annihilated completely it will turn into soul and revive, just as every year in autumn it dies partially and then revives again in spring (22:5).

Sublime Realities (38)

Q85. In four places (10:3, 31; 13:2; 32:5) of the glorious Qur’an it is said: “Yudabbiru’l-amr” and in verse (79:5) it is said: “Fa’l-mudabbirati amra”. What is their real meaning?
A85. Yudabbiru’l-amr means that Almighty Allah continues to repeat the word of the command “Be”, because His attribute of creatorship is eternal. In the second statement the angels are mudabbirat of the command in the sense that in the destination of merging, they repeatedly seize the soul of the salik, scatter it in the entire universe and cast it in his body, so that countless copies may be made.
