The Holy Quran 32:12 — Surah As-Sajdah

Arabic text

وَلَوْ تَرَىٰٓ إِذِ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ نَاكِسُوا۟ رُءُوسِهِمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ رَبَّنَآ أَبْصَرْنَا وَسَمِعْنَا فَٱرْجِعْنَا نَعْمَلْ صَـٰلِحًا إِنَّا مُوقِنُونَ

Translation

If only they could see the scene (in the Aakhirah) when the criminals (the Kuffaar and sinners) will bow their heads before their Rabb (saying) "O our Rabb! We have seen (resurrection and Qiyaamah which we denied) and we have heard (everything that we refused to believe when Your Ambiyaa عليهم الصلاة والسلام mentioned them to us). Return us (to the world) so that we may (accept Imaan and) carry out good deeds. We are now certainly convinced (about everything that the Ambiyaa عليهم الصلاة والسلام told us)." (Of course, this plea will be rejected because no one will be sent back to the world after death.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, out of humiliation and remorse — at the place of the Gathering. that is, our ears and eyes have been opened. We have become certain of what the prophets used to say; indeed, we have seen with our own eyes that only faith and righteous deeds avail with Allah. Now send us back to the world once more — see what good deeds we shall do.
