"New" in the Quran:
The Quran says that Allah can easily replace mankind with a New Creation. Then the Quran uses "New" in a deep theological meaning that is the Afterlife and meeting the Lord, the Almighty Creator.
The Ignorant Unbeliever Arabs denied the Afterlife and put some questions about it, the Quran provides the answer for their questions, gives the outcome of the Unbelievers who deny the Afterlife and grants a Reward for them
Allah can easily replace mankind with a New Creation:
14:19
do you not see that Allah has created the heavens and the earth with truth? if he will, he can remove you and bring (in your place) a new creation?
35:15-16
[15] o mankind! You are the poor in your relation to Allah. it is you who are in need of Allah. and Allah! he is the absolute, the rich, the self-sufficient, the one free of all wants, worthy of all praise.
[16] if he will, he can take you off and bring (instead of you) a new creation.
What the Ignorant Unbeliever Arabs Said about the Afterlife:
17:49
they say: "what! when we are reduced (turned to) to bones, and dust (broken bits and decayed particles), shall we really be raised up, being a new creation?
32:10
and they say: "what! when we have become destroyed and lost, in the earth, shall we indeed be in a creation renewed? Nay, they deny, they are disbelievers in the meeting with their lord.
34:7
the unbelievers say: 'shall we show you a man who will tell you that when you have become dispersed and have been utterly torn into pieces you will be raised in a new creation?
This is the answer for their question:
50:15
Were we then getting tired or fatigued with the first creation? No, indeed; yet they are confused and in doubt about a new creation.
And this is the outcome of the Unbelievers:
13:5
if you would wonder, then wondrous is their saying: 'when we are dust, shall we be raised to life again, a new creation? ' such are those who disbelieve in their lord. their necks shall be fettered. they shall be the inhabitants of the fire, in it they shall dwell and live for ever.
What a Reward!
17:98
that is their reward (recompense) because they disbelieved our revelations and said: when we are bones and fragments shall we, forsooth, be raised up as a new creation?
