قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

با زگشت به دنیا ممنوع !

این آیه از کسانی سخن می‌گوید که بعد از مشاهدةٌ عذاب الهی یا بعد از نابودی و رفتن به جهان برزخ» پرده‌های غرور و غفلت از برایر دیدگانشان کنار می‌رود و آرزو می‌کنند که ای کاش برای جبران این همه گناه» به دنیا باز می‌گشتند؛ ولی قرآن با صراحت می‌گوید: بازگشت آنها به کلی حرام و ممنوع است و راهی برای جبران گناهانشان باقی نمانده است. این آیه شبیه یه ۹۹ سورةٌ موّمنون است که می‌فرماید: «(آنها همچنان در راه غلط خود ادامه می‌دهند) تا زمانی که مرگ یکی از آنان فرا رسدء می‌گوید: «پروردگار من, مرا باز گردان؛ شاید در (جبران) آنچه ترک کردم (و کوتاهی نمودم)» عمل صالحی انجام دهم.» (ولی به او می‌گویند:) چنین نیست.»
