Transliteration:( Qaalu tilka izan karratun khaasirah. )
"They say: 'That return will be a total loss.'"
Rejection of Resurrection:
The disbelievers, in their mockery, suggest that the idea of a return to life after death (resurrection) would be a total loss for them.
They argue that if resurrection were true, they would have to relive life stages like childhood, youth, and old age, essentially repeating the struggles they faced in their worldly life.
Truth in Their Words:
Despite their mockery, the disbelievers unknowingly speak the truth—the Day of Judgment will indeed bring regret for them, as they will realize the consequences of their actions.
Their refusal to believe in the resurrection and their mocking attitude will only lead to their punishment and eternal loss.
