وَأَقْسَمُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَـٰنِهِمْ ۙ لَا يَبْعَثُ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَمُوتُ ۚ بَلَىٰ وَعْدًا عَلَيْهِ حَقًّۭا وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٣٨

Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

They considered that to be improbable, and did not believe the Messengers when they told them about that, swearing that it could not happen.Allah said, refuting them:بَلَىYes,meaning it will indeed happen,وَعْدًا عَلَيْهِ حَقًّاa promise (binding) upon Him in truth,- meaning it is inevitable,وَلـكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَbut most of mankind know not.means, because of their ignorance they oppose the Messengers and fall into disbelief.Then Allah mentions His wisdom and the reason why He will resurrect mankind physically on the Day of Calling (between the people of Fire and of Paradise).He says
