English Translation
Here you can read various translations of verse 36
And I do not think the Hour will occur. And even if I should be brought back to my Lord, I will surely find better than this as a return.”
“Nor do I deem that the Hour (of Judgment) will (ever) come: Even if I am brought back to my Lord, I shall surely find (there) something better in exchange.”
Nor do I believe that the Hour of Resurrection will ever come to pass. And even if I am returned to my Lord, I shall find a better place than this.”
“And I think not the Hour will ever come, and if indeed I am brought back to my Lord, (on the Day of Resurrection), I surely shall find better than this when I return to Him.”
I think not that the Hour will ever come, and if indeed I am brought back unto my Lord I surely shall find better than this as a resort.
And in no way do I expect that the Hour is coming up; and indeed in case I am turned back to my Lord, indeed I will definitely find a more charitable (i.e., better) recourse than (this).”
or that the Last Hour will ever come- even if I were to be taken back to my Lord, I would certainly find something even better there.’
اور نہ میں قیامت کو قائم ہونے والی خیال کرتا ہوں اور اگر (بالفرض) میں اپنے رب کی طرف لوٹایا بھی گیا تو یقیناً میں (اس لوٹنے کی جگہ) اس سے بھی زیاده بہتر پاؤں گا
