Quran 51:49 – 'And Of All Things Two Types'
We apply general principles/observation to things unless someting contrary comes to our attention. Life and afterlife are to be considered as a pair unless evidence suggests otherwise.
Having wings isn’t an evidence enough – true, but lingustically, there’s no problem with this statement and we use such statements in normal routine e.g. all birds can fly etc. Secondly, the concept of afterlife is based on the very notion of pairing and this the way it has been described by God himself i.e. deeds and their rewards, injustice and justice, life and afterlife, earth and paradise etc. etc. So there’s more to afterlife and it’s relationship with this world than inferring this concept from this verse alone.
