The Holy Quran, as the most important source of Islam, has attached special importance to resurrection and life after death, and they have emphasized the occurrence of resurrection and its quality. Most Muslim thinkers believe that resurrection is both spiritual and physical from the perspective of the Holy Quran, but they disagree with each other on the quality of physical resurrection. Some have depicted physical resurrection with an elemental body and others with an exemplary body. This article is based on examining and proving the physical resurrection with an elemental body from the perspective of the Holy Quran, hence, after the semantics of the words resurrection, physical and elemental, by analyzing and examining five categories of Quranic verses, this claim proves with an interpretative method. These five categories of verses are: the first category, the verses referring to the exit of humans from the grave or earth; The second category, the verses related to resurrection and resurrection of humans from the grave; The third category, the verses referring to rejecting the claim of the deniers of the return of the elemental body; The fourth category, the verses referring to the comparison of the resurrection to the resurrection of the dead in the world and the fifth category, the verses referring to the comparison of the resurrection to the resurrection of the earth after death.
