Koran 2:260 — soera Al-Baqarah, vers 260

وَإِذۡ قَالَ إِبۡرَٰهِـۧمُ رَبِّ أَرِنِي كَيۡفَ تُحۡيِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰۖ قَالَ أَوَلَمۡ تُؤۡمِنۖ قَالَ بَلَىٰ وَلَٰكِن لِّيَطۡمَئِنَّ قَلۡبِيۖ قَالَ فَخُذۡ أَرۡبَعَةٗ مِّنَ ٱلطَّيۡرِ فَصُرۡهُنَّ إِلَيۡكَ ثُمَّ ٱجۡعَلۡ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ جَبَلٖ مِّنۡهُنَّ جُزۡءٗا ثُمَّ ٱدۡعُهُنَّ يَأۡتِينَكَ سَعۡيٗاۚ وَٱعۡلَمۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٞ

En (gedenk) toen Ibraahiem (zonder argwaan of twijfels) zei: “Mijn Heer! Toon mij (in levenden lijve) hoe U de doden weer tot leven wekt.” Hij zei: “Geloof je dan niet (met je hart)?” Hij zei: “Zeker wel (want ik weet best dat U tot alles in staat bent), maar (ik vraag dit enkel) om sterker in mijn geloof te worden (en mijn hart rust in te boezemen).” Hij zei: “Neem vier (verschillende) vogels: slacht ze, snij (de dode vogels) in stukken, (haal ze door elkaar en maak er vier porties van). Verdeel hen vervolgens over (vier verschillende) bergen. Roep hen op (met de vogelkoppen in de hand), en (de verschillende stukken) zullen zich haasten en naar jou toekomen (om zich aan de kop te hechten en weer een volledige levende vogel te vormen). En weet dat Allah Almachtig is, Alwijs (aan wie niets of niemand kan tippen).

And know that Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise
