The Holy Quran 34:52 — Surah Saba

Arabic text

وَقَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلتَّنَاوُشُ مِن مَّكَانٍۭ بَعِيدٍ

Translation

They will (then) say, "We (now) believe it (in everything the Ambiyaa عليهم الصلاة والسلام told us)." How can they reach it (Imaan) from a distant place (from the Aakhirah)...

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The faith of the disbelievers in the Hereafter: that is, at that time they will say, “We have become convinced of the words of the Prophet ﷺ; now we believe.” But what faith is there now? The time when they could have saved themselves by believing has gone far away. How could their hand now reach so far as to bring faith back from there?
