Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 39 Az-Zumar, Ayat 56-59
اَنۡ تَقُوۡلَ نَفۡسٌ يّٰحَسۡرَتٰى عَلٰى مَا فَرَّطْتُّ فِىۡ جَنۡۢبِ اللّٰهِ وَاِنۡ كُنۡتُ لَمِنَ السّٰخِرِيۡنَۙ
﴿39:56﴾
اَوۡ تَقُوۡلَ لَوۡ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ هَدٰٮنِىۡ لَكُنۡتُ مِنَ الۡمُتَّقِيۡنَۙ
﴿39:57﴾
اَوۡ تَقُوۡلَ حِيۡنَ تَرَى الۡعَذَابَ لَوۡ اَنَّ لِىۡ كَرَّةً فَاَكُوۡنَ مِنَ الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ
﴿39:58﴾
بَلٰى قَدۡ جَآءَتۡكَ اٰيٰتِىۡ فَكَذَّبۡتَ بِهَا وَاسۡتَكۡبَرۡتَ وَكُنۡتَ مِنَ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ
﴿39:59﴾
(39:56) Lest a person should say: “Alas for me for neglecting my duty towards
Allah and for being among those that scoffed”; (39:57) and lest a person should say: “If only Allah had guided me, I should
have been one of the God-fearing”; (39:58) or lest he should say, when he sees the chastisement: “O that I might
return again, and be among those who do good.” (39:59) Yes indeed! But My Signs came to you and you rejected them as lies,
and waxed arrogant and were among those who disbelieved.
