Both the Bible and the Quran talk about how we will change our qualities from selfishness to love of others:
1. The quality of selfishness will DIE and the quality of love of others will LIVE
2. When our quality changes from selfishness (death) to love of others (life), this is considered the RESURRECTION of the dead because the dead quality of selfishness will rise to life and be in the quality of love of others
3. We will be BORN AGAIN, out of the quality of selfishness into the quality of love of others

"And the
disbeliever says, "When I have died, am I going to be brought forth
alive?" (Quran 19:66, Sahih) Meaning
when I am in the quality of selfishness (dead) will I be brought back to life
in the quality of love of others? Answer: YES
"Thus does
Allah bring the dead to life..." (Quran
2:73, Sahih) Meaning God will change
our quality from selfishness to love of others
"He gives life and causes death, and to Him you will be
returned." (Quran 10:56, Sahih) Meaning
God causes the quality of selfishness to die and causes the quality of love
of others to live and we will be returned to God's Family
"13.
Then you shall know that I am
the Lord
(YHVH), when I have opened your graves, O My
people, and brought you up from your graves. 14. I will put My Spirit in you,
and you shall live..." (Ezekiel 37:13-14, NKJV) Meaning we will leave the quality of selfishness (the grave) and
enter into the quality of love of others (life)
"I will
ransom them from the power of the grave;
I will redeem them from death. O Death, I will be your plagues! O Grave, I will be your
destruction!" (Hosea 13:14, NKJV) Meaning
we will leave the quality of selfishness

"Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is
born again, he cannot see the kingdom
of God. " (John 3:3, NKJV) Meaning you have to be born out of the quality of selfishness into
the quality of love of others
"Most assuredly, I say to you,
unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of
God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of
the Spirit is spirit." (John 3:5-6, NKJV) Meaning our internal quality (spirit) will
change from selfishness to love of others
"... the kingdom of God is within
you." (Luke 17:21, NKJV) Meaning our
internal qualities determine which kingdom we belong to. If we're in the
quality of selfishness we belong to the kingdom of this world, if we're in the
quality of love of others we belong to the kingdom of God.
"O Lord, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that
I should not go down to the pit." (Psalm 30:3, NKJV) Meaning God has brought me out of the
quality of selfishness into the quality of love of others
"He will
surely assemble you for the Day of Resurrection ..." (Quran 6:12, Sahih)
Meaning we will be resurrected from the
quality of selfishness (death) into the quality of love of others (life)
