Quranic Wisdom

gives the above argument in the chapter Al-Dhariyat (Scattering Winds) in these words: And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth, it is most surely the truth, just as you do speak. (51:23) Speech is part of a person, and modern technology has proved that the speech of a person is repeatable. If a person’s speech is repeatable, then certainly the personality itself is also repeatable. In previous centuries this seemed to be a claim, but now it is a verified fact. There is also a biological phenomenon that supports this concept. The human body consists of about ten trillion tiny cells that can be seen only through microscope. Every single cell in our body is replaced every seven to ten years. That is, after an average of ten years our entire body is replaced. In other words, if a person is ninety years old, it means his physical body has been replaced nine times. But his personality remains the same without the slightest change. If in spite of nine “deaths”, the personality has remained intact, then why must it die when the physical body dies the tenth time? One philosopher has aptly stated this reality in these words: ‘Personality is changelessness in change.’ (The Urantia Book) Death is like a door through which we go from the present world into the next world. Death is a reminder of the reality that there is a world hereafter. We must prepare ourselves to be able to find a proper place in the next world.
