English Translation
32We hope that our Lord will give us better blessings and provisions than this garden, for we now repent and turn to our Lord.
Explanatory translation
32Then they turned to one another and said, “If we come to our senses, feel remorse, and strive to live in keeping with His good pleasure, perhaps our Lord will pity us and have mercy on us. He will give us something better in place of our garden that has turned to ash. We have learned our lesson, and so we have learned that we must believe in Allah as the one and only God. For from now on we place our hope not in vineyards and gardens, but in our Lord alone.” But by then it was too late. Such has been the punishment of those who are ungrateful for divine blessings and look down on the poor. The punishment such people will receive in the Hereafter will be greater still.
