Translation

When death finally comes upon one of them (idolaters), they say, “Oh My Lord, send me back.”

Tafsir

Of those who disbelieve in Allah and the Hereafter, the polytheists and the disbelievers, or those who are in any ideology that has not entered the religion of Islam, or those who do not recognize Allah, or those who associate partners with Allah, when death comes to one of them, (Iza belagatil hulkum) when the life is in the throat (wa entum hiyna izin tenzurun) then you are looking. We are nearer to him than you, but you cannot see.

In this case, the dying person has seen and understood the truth. He has realized that Allah is true, the Hereafter is true and the resurrection after death is true. In this regard, he has realized that the punishment for his evil deeds in this world and for disbelieving in Allah is unbearable and that he will surely be punished for them. This person begs Allah (swt) to send me back to this world.

What is said in the video

Surah Al-Mu'minun, verse 99. Until, when death comes to one of them, the polytheists, he says: My Lord, send me back.

Why does he say, my Lord, send me back?

This place is a... While we are in the worldly realm, the realm of the Hereafter is closed to us. At the moment of death, when the soul reaches the throat, Allah Almighty shows him the realm of the Hereafter. He shows him the places where he made the covenant. There, (?).

Sent back, he will supposedly (?) Allah. Living the worldly life again, he will supposedly worship Allah. Yet Allah Almighty says: We will send you back not once but several more times, and you will do the same deeds again. Those places will be closed to us again. We will return again to our own states, our characters. Again, within the same characters, we will carry out the same actual deeds. Yes.

Of those who deny Allah and the Hereafter, the polytheists and disbelievers, or those who have not entered the religion of Islam and are within some ideology, those who do not know Allah, those who associate partners with Allah: when death comes to one of them, izâ beleğati'l- hulkûm, when the soul reaches the throat, ve entüm hîne'izin tenzurûn, and at that time you just stand and look, He says.

At what? Drunk; in the drunkenness of death, he just stands and stares.

Sir, when the soul reaches the throat, at that time you just stand and look. We are nearer to him than you, but you do not see, He says. Why near? He opens the eye of kashf; the (?) eye opens.

The soul now... in one narration up to the place of the thigh, in another up to this tailbone, the door of repentance is open. After that, the moment it closes, that realm is shown to him. That is when he says: send me back, see how I will worship You. Yet since Allah Almighty will not change a person's characters, because desire and well, it's like that. Even if He sent him back not once but a thousand more times, he would do the same thing.

In this situation, the person who is about to die has seen and understood the truth. He has grasped that Allah is real, the Hereafter is real and resurrection after death is real. Therefore, that the punishment he will receive for the evil deeds he did in the world and for denying Allah is unbearable, and that he will certainly be given this punishment, he has understood. Pleading with Allah Almighty, this person: send me back to the world once more, he says. Even if He sent him, that realm would close again, these would be erased from memory again, the person would again return to his own realm.

Yes. Otherwise, Allah is not unjust, that He would not forgive him after he repents. That is, that He would not forgive him after he repents in his heart.
