وَمَآ أَظُنُّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ قَآئِمَةً وَلَئِن رُّدِدتُّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى لَأَجِدَنَّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهَا مُنقَلَبًا Qur’an Al-Kahf (18:36)
Wam a a th unnu a l ss a AAata q a imatan walain rudidtu il a rabbee laajidanna khayran minh a munqalab a n
And neither do I think that the Last Hour will ever come. But even if [it should come, and] I am brought before my Sustainer,43 I will surely find something even better than this as [my last] resort!"
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

Lit., "brought back [or "referred"] to my Sustainer" - i.e., for judgment.

Nor do I believe that the Hour of Judgment will ever come. Even if I am returned to my Rabb, I will surely find even a better place than this."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
nor do I think the Hour will 'ever' come. And if in fact I am returned to my Lord, I will definitely get a far better outcome than 'all' this.'
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
I think not that the Hour will ever come, and if indeed I am brought back unto my Lord I surely shall find better than this as a resort.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
"Nor do I deem that the Hour (of Judgment) will (ever) come: even if I am brought back to my Lord I shall surely find (there) something better in exchange." 2378
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Here comes out the grasping spirit of the materialist. In his mind "better" means more wealth and more power, of the kind he was enjoying in this life, although in reality, even what he had, rested on hollow foundations and was doomed to perish and bring him down with it.
