The Holy Quran 35:37 — Surah Fatir

Arabic text

وَهُمْ يَصْطَرِخُونَ فِيهَا رَبَّنَآ أَخْرِجْنَا نَعْمَلْ صَـٰلِحًا غَيْرَ ٱلَّذِى كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ ۚ أَوَلَمْ نُعَمِّرْكُم مَّا يَتَذَكَّرُ فِيهِ مَن تَذَكَّرَ وَجَآءَكُمُ ٱلنَّذِيرُ ۖ فَذُوقُوا۟ فَمَا لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ مِن نَّصِيرٍ

Translation

They (the Kuffaar) will be screaming (crying for help) in Jahannam saying, “O our Rabb! Remove us from here and (send us back to the world where) we will do deeds unlike those (evil deeds) that we used to carry out." (They will be denied this request and it will be said to them), "Did We not grant you sufficient age (time) in which the one who takes heed may take heed? And did a warner not come to you? (You had enough time in the world to do good deeds and the Ambiyaa عليهم الصلاة والسلام and others were there to warn you about the consequences of your kufr, yet you failed to take heed.) So taste (the punishment for your wrong-doing)! The oppressors (Kuffaar and sinners) will not have a helper (against Allaah's punishment)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The cry of the people of Hell: that is, at that time we thought this was good, but now we will not do that. Just take us out of Hell, and we will gather many good deeds and present ourselves obedient. The reply of Almighty Allah: this reply will be given to the people of Hell.
