Europe studied a Muslim's medical book for 600 years
Ibn Sina's Canon of Medicine, finished in 1025, organized the world's medical knowledge so completely that European universities used it as a core textbook into the 17th century, and it described contagion long before germ theory.

البَعْث
Ba'th
The resurrection: bodies raised and souls returned, so that everyone stands for judgement.
The Qur'an answers the objection directly, asking who will give life to bones after they have crumbled, and replying that He who produced them the first time will (Qur'an 36:78-79). The gathering that follows is called the hashr, on an open plain where nobody is missed or overlooked. Sunni belief is that the raising is bodily and not only spiritual.

Thinner than a hair, sharper than a sword, crossed at the speed of your deeds.
Your crossing speed is being set today, in traffic, at work, before dawn
