This post is part of a larger hypothesis that Moses was the same person as Hindu Krishna hence the core message of the Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Hindu religions has to be the same. Geographical details in the Bible and Quran suggest that Moses led the Exodus from the Indus Valley to Yisrael.

1. Could Rebirth be Consistent with the Quran?
I understand that the Bible, Quran and Vedas are all Word of God.
Proof is that these scriptures have provided much solace to large
numbers. Since these are Word of One God, their messages could
not be mutually contradictory. For example, God could not tell the
Muslims that there is only one birth and tell the Hindus that there
are multiple births. In this post I have studied the Ayats of the
Quran and my reading suggests that every Ayat on the subject is
amenable to two interpretations: (1) that every soul is given one
birth, it dies, and all souls will be resurrected on one single Day of
Judgment. (2) That every soul is given multiple births, it has
multiple deaths, and it is resurrected after multiple deaths on the
multiple Days of Judgment. This is not to suggest that the Quran
endorses rebirth. This is only to suggest that the Quran could also
suggest rebirth. If interpreted in this way, the Word of God in the
Quran will become consistent with the Word of God in the Vedas. I
give the relevant Ayats followed by the two interpretations.
Two deaths and two lives:
Ayat 2:28 “How can ye reject the faith in Allah? Seeing that ye were
without life, and He gave you life; then will He cause you to die,
and will again bring you to life; and again to Him will ye return.”
Interpretation 1: The “without life” refers to the state before the
only birth; followed by birth; followed by death; followed by only
one resurrection on the Judgment Day after which is the soul
returns to God.
Interpretation 2: The “without life” refers to the state of the soul
after its previous death, followed by multiple births; followed by
multiple deaths; followed by resurrection on the Judgment Day
after each death. This cycle continues until the soul evolves and
returns to God.

2. Earth will be changed:
Ayat 14:48: "On the day when the earth will be changed to other
than this earth and the heavens also And they will come forth unto
God, The One The Almighty."
Interpretation 1: The present earth and heavens will be wholly
destroyed and changed into another earth and heavens on the one
Judgment Day.
Interpretation 2: The earth and heaven for each soul will be
changed. The past birth was on one location on the earth; and the
soul will go to another location on the earth in the next birth.
Judgment after each death:
Ayat 21:35: “Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you
by evil and by good (only) by way of trial: to Us must ye return.”
Interpretation 1: Every soul shall have a taste of death only once:
and God will test by way of trial only once. Those who have
followed the teachings in that only birth will return to God.

3. Interpretation 2: Every soul shall have a taste of death after every
birth: and God will test them by way of trial again and again until
the soul has learnt to follow God, then to God it will return.
Ayat 67:2 similarly: “He created death and life that He may test
you, to see which of you is the best in deeds.”
Period of stay in hell:
Ayat 23:99-100: “My Lord, send me back that I might do
righteousness in that which I left behind (i.e. in that which I
neglected).” No! It is only a word he is saying; and behind them is a
barrier until the Day they are resurrected.
Interpretation 1: The soul cannot be sent back to the earth. It gets
only one opportunity.
Interpretation 2: The soul cannot be sent back to the same station
in the same family on the earth where it died. I can be sent forward
to another station on the earth in another family.

4. Eternal heaven and hell:
Ayat 23:101-104: So when the Horn is blown, no relationship will
there be among them that Day, nor will they ask about one
another. And those whose scales are heavy [with good deeds] - it is
they who are the successful. But those whose scales are light -
those are the ones who have lost their souls, [being] in Hell, abiding
eternally. The Fire will sear their faces, and they therein will have
taut smiles (i.e. their lips having been contracted by scorching until
the teeth are exposed).
Interpretation 1: After the single day when the Horn is blown, the
wrongdoers will stay in hell eternally with fire searing their faces
and taut smiles perpetually.
Interpretation 2: After every death when the Horn is blown, the
wrongdoers will stay in hell “until lips have been contracted…”
They would be taken out after the punishment is completed and
sent back to earth.
From graves to the Lord:
Ayat 36:51: “And the Horn will be blown; and at once from the
graves to their Lord they will hasten.”
Interpretation 1: All the souls will hasten to the Lord for the
Judgment on the one Day of Judgment.
Interpretation 2: All the souls will hasten to the Lord for the
Judgment on their own Day of Judgment.
All shall swoon:
Ayat 39:68: “And the trumpet shall be blown, so all those that are
in the heavens and all those that are in the earth shall swoon,
except such as Allah please; then it shall be blown again, then lo!
they shall stand up awaiting.”
Interpretation 1: The trumpet shall be blown only once on the
Judgment Day, so all those that are in the heavens and all those

5. that are in the earth shall get ready; then it shall be blown again,
then they shall stand up awaiting for the Judgment to be passed.
Interpretation 2: The trumpet shall be blown individually for each
soul, so all those that are in the heavens will swoon or get ready to
be reborn; and all those that are in the earth shall swoon in order
to die. Then it shall be blown again so that those in heaven shall
stand up awaiting to be reborn and those in the earth shall a wait
to die followed by Judgment.
Two deaths and two births:
Ayat 40:11: “Our Lord, twice You have put us to death and twice
You have brought us to life; now we have confessed our sins, is
there any way out?"
Interpretation 1: Non-existence before the only birth is first death.
The second death is after the only birth. Alternative interpretation
is that these are two kind of deaths. One death is when our soul
leaves the body during the sleep for a while and comes back on the
waking; and another death is when a soul leaves body permanently
and comes back to life only once on the Day of Judgment.

6. Interpretation 2: The first death is followed by second rebirth and
second death. The cycle could continue until the soul accepts the
path of God (The primary meaning of the Arabic word for “twice”
(ih’natayni) is indeed “two.” However, it is used in the sense of
“oft-repeated” in Ayats 15:87:5 and 39:23:7. It could be used in the
sense of “oft-repeated” here as well).
Conclusion:
The above discussion suggests that while the conventional
interpretation of the Quran that God brings each soul to life and
death only once and that all the souls are raised simultaneously on
the Day of Judgment, is tenable; an alternative interpretation could
be that God brings each soul to life on this earth many times and
this cycle continues until the soul consciously accepts the power of
God. Then the soul merges in God.
