Resurrection

CRITICAL AND DISTINCT FROM EVERY OTHER LANGUAGE IN THIS BATCH: unlike the vernacular Hindu-context languages, Islam does NOT deny bodily resurrection — qiyamat (the general resurrection of all people for judgment) is a core, affirmed Islamic doctrine. The risk here is therefore not denial but conflation: Christ’s own historical, unique resurrection (that he alone has already been raised, bodily, ahead of and as the guarantee of the general resurrection) must be clearly distinguished from the single end-times qiyamat all humanity still awaits. Use قیامت for Christ’s resurrection only with an explicit qualifying note (‘مُردوں میں سے جی اُٹھنا،’ ‘rising from among the dead,’ already ahead of the general resurrection); پنر جنم (a Sanskrit-derived rebirth/reincarnation term) is rejected as inapplicable to this audience’s frame of reference.
