Allah ﷻ says in Surah Az-Zumar
أَوْ تَقُولَ حِينَ تَرَى الْعَذَابَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِى كَـرَّةً فَأَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
Or he should say when he sees the torment: “If only I had another chance, then I should indeed be among the doers of good.”
Means, he will wish that he could go back to this world, so that he could do righteous deeds.
بَلَى قَدْ جَآءَتْكَ ءَايَـتِى فَكَذَّبْتَ بِهَا وَاسْتَكْبَرْتَ وَكُنتَ مِنَ الْكَـفِرِينَ
But yes, there had come to you My verses, but you denied them and were arrogant, and you were among the disbelievers.
[39:58-59]
_
After the Ayah of hope, where Allah ﷻ forgives all sin etc. Allah ﷻ clarifies that a person should seek this before a time comes where he will feel regret and loss for not doing so, before a time comes where he may say this.
_
Allah ﷻ says earlier in the passage, that the regretful person will say
أَن تَقُولَ نَفْسٌ يحَسْرَتَى عَلَى مَا فَرَّطَتُ فِى جَنبِ اللَّه وَإِن كُنتُ لَمِنَ السَّـخِرِين
Lest a person should say: “Alas, my grief that I was undutiful to Allah and I was indeed among those who mocked.”
أَوْ تَقُولَ لَوْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هَدَانِى لَكُـنتُ مِنَ الْمُتَّقِينَ
Or [lest] it say, “If only Allah had guided me, I would have been among the righteous.”
[39:56-57]
_
Let us ponder for a moment!
These Ayaat are meant for the Kuffar (Disbelievers)!
But it contains a lesson for us as well,
How many of us, have characteristics in common with the Kuffar?
Specifically the ones listed here!
_
Do we mock or belittle the Deen?
Are we arrogant towards the commands of Allah ﷻ?
Do we disobey Allah ﷻ, and disregard his obedience?
Do we waste our time without putting anything ahead for the hereafter?
Do we seek the guidance of Allah ﷻ?
_
We need to reflect and be truthful to ourselves!
We can change ourselves and make ourselves resemble the righteous and those whom Allah ﷻ loves, rather than sharing traits with those whom Allah ﷻ hates, the Kuffar and the Munafiqeen.
_
May Allah ﷻ rectify our conditions and make us among the righteous.
آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ
