affect our faith. If someone, being overpowered by Satan, made up his mind that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has not granted the ability and power to raise the dead back to life to anybody else, then this ideology and perception is contrary to the teachings of the Glorious Quran. It has been stated clearly in the Holy Quran that Sayyiduna ‘Isa عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَيْهِ الصَّلٰوةُ وَالسَّلَام cured the sick and revived the dead. It is stated in Surah Aal-e-‘Imran, verse 49 that Sayyiduna ‘Isa عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام said:

وَ  اُبۡرِیُٔ   الۡاَکۡمَہَ   وَ  الۡاَبۡرَصَ   وَ  اُحۡیِ   الۡمَوۡتٰی   بِاِذۡنِ   اللّٰہِ ۚ

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: And I give cure to the inborn blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead, by the command of Allah.

(Part 3, Surah Aal-e-‘Imran, verse 49)

Did you notice? Sayyiduna ‘Isa عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَ عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام is clearly and openly proclaiming that he gives eyesight to the inborn blind, cures the lepers, and even gives life to the dead by virtue of the divinely-bestowed power.
