Surah 15. Al-Hijr, Ayah 2
| رُبَمَا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ كَانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ |
| Transliteration | : | rubamaa yawadd 'alladhena kafaro law kaano muslimen |
| Pickthall | : | It may be that those who disbelieve wish ardently that they were Muslims. |
| Asad | : | And it will come to pass that those who are [now] bent on denying this truth will wish that they had surrendered themselves to God [in their lifetime].3 |
| Malik | : | The Day will come when the unbelievers will wish that they were Muslims. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Again and again will those who disbelieve wish that they had bowed (to Allah's Will) in Islam. 1935 |
Note - 3Since this revelation - i.e., the Qur'an-is clear in
itself and clearly shows the truth, those who
deliberately reject it now will have no excuse on
Resurrection Day. As so often in the Qur'an, the past
tense in the expression alladhina kafaru is indicative of
conscious intent (see surah {2} note [6]).
|
Note - 1935The time must inevitably come when those who allow
themselves to be deceived by falsehood or deliberately
break Allah's Law will find themselves in a terrible
plight. They will then wish, ardently and again and
again, that they had sought Allah's Will and walked in
the light of Truth. That time may be early or late,-in
this life, or at death, or at the Day of Judgment, but it
must come. Man's own highest interest requires that he
should awake to the Reality before it is too late for
repentance.
