44 Before You Regret

But as for him who is given his Book in his left hand,
he will say, "If only I had not been given my Book and
had not known about my Reckoning! If only death had
really been the end! My wealth has been of no use to
me. My power has vanished." (Surat al-Haqqa: 25-29)
... on the Day when a man will see what he has done,
and the unbeliever will say, "Oh, if only I were dust!"
(Surat an-Naba: 40)

But as for him who is given his Book behind his back,
he will cry out for destruction but will be roasted in a
Searing Blaze. He used to be joyful in his family. He
thought that he was never going to return. But in fact
his Lord was always watching him! (Surat al-Inshiqaq:
10-15)
Witnessing these scenes, unbelievers understand the
opportunity that they missed in the world and feel a most
severe regret. Adding to their regret, they see and observe
the blissful life of believers in paradise. Because previ-

ously, they were invited to truth by believers but they
arrogantly refused and turned a deaf ear to them.
But now a "just balance" (Surat al-Anbiya’: 47) is set.
People are led to hell or paradise, based on their records.
On the Day of Judgment, unbelievers see where they are
heading for. Upon this, fear overtakes them:
You will see the wrongdoers afraid of what they have
earned, when it is about to land right on top of them.
(Surat ash-Shura: 22)
