53. On the Day of Judgement when it would be said to the infidels. Where are your false gods? They would be taking false oaths to conceal their polytheism, that they were not polytheists. At that time their limbs would be testifying about their polytheism which they will have no option but to admit. Mention in this verse is being made about the above. (KHAZAINUL IRFAAN). Thereafter they would request Allah Almighty to send them back to the world with the promise that they would not commit.infidelity. The reply to this is appearing further
54. From this we learn that for a habitual criminal this world is a life imprisonment and the Hereafter an eternal Hell, because his life in this world is temporary but in the Hereafter it is eternal. A habitual criminal is he would always commit a crime on being freed, to the extent that crime has become a habit to him. Thus this punishment is correct and not in excess to his crime.

The tafsir of Surah Al-Anam verse 28 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Anam ayat 27 which provides the complete commentary from verse 27 through 30.
(6:28) No! They will say this merely because the Truth which they had concealed will become obvious to them;[19] or else if they were sent back, they would still revert to what was forbidden to them. (So this plea of theirs would be a lie too) for they are just liars.
19. At that moment such a statement on their part would not be indicative of either any true change of heart or of any genuinely revised judgement based on serious reflection and reasoning. It would rather be the result of direct observation of reality at a time when even the staunchest unbeliever would find it impossible to deny it.
