there is no resurrection. And they put this case to Him.
022:024 "Teacher," they said, "Moses enjoined, `If a man die childless,
his brother shall marry his widow, and raise up a family for him.'

022:038 This is the greatest and foremost Commandment.
022:039 And the second is similar to it: `Thou shalt love thy fellow
