When death approaches any of them, they cry, “My Lord! Let me go back, so I may do good in what I left behind.” Never! It is only a ˹useless˺ appeal they make. And there is a barrier behind them until the Day they are resurrected.Quran 23:99~100 — ^{Surah al-Mu’minum [The Believers] takes its name after the first Ayat, قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ “Certainly will the Believers have succeeded.” [23:1].

حَتَّىٰۤ إِذَا جَاۤءَ أَحَدَهُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ
قَالَ رَبِّ ٱرۡجِعُونِ
لَعَلِّیۤ أَعۡمَلُ صَـٰلِحࣰا فِیمَا تَرَكۡتُۚ
كَلَّاۤۚ
إِنَّهَا كَلِمَةٌ هُوَ قَاۤىِٕلُهَاۖ وَمِن وَرَاۤىِٕهِم بَرۡزَخٌ إِلَىٰ یَوۡمِ یُبۡعَثُونَ — ^{In this Surah people are invited to accept and follow the Prophet. This is the central theme of the Surah. It speaks about the character of true believers and assures that they will be the real successful people. It draws attention to various stages of human creation, to many other universal signs. Then it takes some of the stories of other prophets and tells us that they also preached the same message.}

(یہ لوگ اسی طرح غفلت میں رہیں گے) یہاں تک کہ جب ان میں سے کسی کے پاس موت آجائے گی
تو کہے گا کہ
اے پروردگار!
مجھے پھر (دنیا میں) واپس
بھیج دے
تاکہ میں اس میں
جسے چھوڑ آیا ہوں
نیک کام کیا کروں۔
ہرگز نہیں۔
یہ ایک ایسی بات ہے کہ
وہ اسے زبان سے کہہ رہا ہوگا
(اور اس کے ساتھ عمل نہیں ہوگا)
اور اس کے پیچھے برزخ ہے (جہاں وہ) اس دن تک کہ (دوبارہ) اٹھائے جائیں گے، (رہیں گے) — ^{Sections:
The character of the Believers. Various stages of human creation and Allah’s signs in the universe.
The Message of Prophet Noah, his people’s response and then the flood.
Generations were raised after Prophet Noah. Many prophets were sent among them. Then came Prophet Moses and Aaron and then came Jesus – peace be upon them all.
All prophets are one Ummah and preached the same religion. Those who are affluent think that they are also the righteous people, but the righteous are only those who do the good deeds.
Everything in the heaven and earth belongs to Allah.
Prophet’s job is to continue presenting the message of Allah.}
