بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

39.55-58

وَ اتَّبِعُوْۤا اَحْسَنَ مَاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَیْكُمْ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ یَّاْتِیَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ بَغْتَةً وَّ اَنْتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُوْنَۙ (55) اَنْ تَقُوْلَ نَفْسٌ یّٰحَسْرَتٰى عَلٰى مَا فَرَّطْتُّ فِیْ جَنْۢبِ اللّٰهِ وَ اِنْ كُنْتُ لَمِنَ السّٰخِرِیْنَۙ (56) اَوْ تَقُوْلَ لَوْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ هَدٰىنِیْ لَكُنْتُ مِنَ الْمُتَّقِیْنَۙ (57) اَوْ تَقُوْلَ حِیْنَ تَرَى الْعَذَابَ لَوْ اَنَّ لِیْ كَرَّةً فَاَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ(58)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

And follow the best of that which was revealed to you from your Lord before the punishment comes to you suddenly while you do not perceive.” Lest a soul should say, “Alas for my neglect of the commands of Allah and indeed I was among those who mocked.” Or lest it should say, “If Allah had guided me, I would have been among the pious.” Or lest it should say when it sees the punishment, “Were I to return just once, then I would be among the virtuous.” [1]

Commentary

Shaykh Ibn Rajab al-Ḥanbalī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states: “Humans always rest their hopes on life. This hope never ends in this world, and neither do humans distance their carnal self (nafs) from the pleasures, lust, and sins of this world. Satan continues to give humans hope of repenting in the last part of life. When a human becomes certain of death and loses hope in remaining alive, he breaks free from this delusion of worldly desires. Then, he feels remorseful and guilty about his shortcomings and requests to return to the world in order to repent and do good actions. However, at this point, his request is not answered, and the pangs of death overcome him. Allah has warned His people of this untimely remorse. Hence, they should repent now and continue to perform righteous deeds so that they are prepared before the arrival of Judgement Day.” (Laṭāif Al-MaꜤārif, p. 578, summarized)
