On that day, it is impossible to make up for anything. To believe after death will not lead anyone to success. As is also stated in the Quran, the unbelievers will beg to be allowed to do everything demanded of them on the day of reckoning, but nothing will be accepted from them any more. They will wish to go back to the world and do righteous deeds but their wishes will be refused. When they realize that there is no possibility of atonement, the unbelievers will feel an unbearable regret. The feelings of hopelessness and regret experienced there is incomparable to anything in this world, because the unbelievers will realize that they will live in the punishment of hell forever, without the slightest hope of escape, unless Allah so wills:
If only you could see them standing before the Fire, saying, ‘Oh! If only we could be sent back again, we would not deny the Signs of our Lord and we would be among those who believe.’ No, it is simply that what they were concealing before has been shown to them; and if they were sent back, they would merely return to what they were forbidden to do. Truly, they are liars. They say, ‘There is nothing but this life and we will not be raised again.’ If only you could see them when they are standing before their Lord. He will say, ‘Is this not the Truth?’ They will say, ‘Yes indeed, by our Lord!’ He will say, ‘Then taste Our punishment because you rejected the Faith.’ (Surat al-An’am, 27-30)
Can a human being have the chance to make up for what he has done when he sees the truth in the hereafter?
