Transliteration:( Qaalu tilka izan karratun khaasirah. )
5. Or, that again we have to earn the world there, or that we are rejectors of the Day of Judgement here, but if it were to be established then we would be punished. In any case this nonsensical prattle was in the form of jest; but what they uttered was true. Without doubt the Day of Judgement for them is a means of regret. Or, their objective was to show that if they were resurrected on the Day of Judgement, they would once again have to go through the process of childhood, prime of life and old age.
