Were you to see when they are brought to a halt by the Fire, whereupon they will say, ‘If only we were sent back [into the world]! Then we will not deny the signs of our Lord, and we will be among the faithful!’
— Ali Quli Qarai
Surah Al-‘An’am, Verse 27
27. "And if you could see when they are stationed before the (Hell) Fire, then they say: 'Would that we might be returned, and we would not belie the Signs of our Lord, and we would be of the believers."
According to the verses of the Qur'an, the desire of returning to this world in human beings is found both at the moment of death, and in the grave, and in Hereafter. Surah Al-Muminun. No.23. verses 99 and 100 say:
And, again, the same Surah, verse 107 says:
We must believe in the truth as long as we have been respited in this world, because it will be too late in the Hereafter.
As the philosophers and wiser men have said, this world is the place of movement and the coming world is the world of actuality. As far as an apple is with the tree, it has some movement towards development. But, when it separates from the tree, that movement will end and no more growth is expected from it. Therefore, if a person wishes to be among the dwellers of Paradise, he must prepare the concerning means of development in this life, which is the world of movement.
Otherwise, he will be involved with punishment. By the way, the consequence of rejecting the Signs of Allah will be remorse in the Hereafter, and being entangled with the Hell-Fire.
