Resurrection

Resurrection is the act of returning to life from the dead. The term is derived from the Latin resurrectio, which itself comes from the prefix re- (again) and surrectio (to rise). In Hebrew, the equivalent term is תקומה (tekumah), while in Arabic, it is القيامة (al-qiyāmah). In Greek, the term is ἀνάστασις (anástasis). Resurrection is a common concept in many religions, including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, where it often signifies a belief in the afterlife and the return to life after death. In Christianity, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is a central tenet of the faith, symbolizing victory over death and the promise of eternal life. In Islam, the Day of Resurrection (Yawm al-Qiyāmah) is a significant event when all humans will be judged by God. In Judaism, the concept of resurrection is complex and has evolved over time, with some traditions emphasizing a physical resurrection and others focusing on a spiritual revival.
