Transliteration:( Aw taqoola heena taral 'azaaba law anna lee karratan fa akoona minal muhsineen )
"Or, lest someone should say seeing the punishment: 'If I could turn [145] back, I would have been among the benevolent.'"
This verse reveals that the Hereafter is not a place for deeds, but for reward and accountability.
When the disbelievers see the punishment, they will express regret and say:
"If only we could return to the world, we would act righteously."
They will not say: "Allow us to do good deeds here," because they know that in the Hereafter, actions are no longer possible.
This highlights the urgency of doing good in this life, as no opportunity will be given once death arrives.
