The Day of Recompense
Allah tells us what the disbeliever will say on the Day of Resurrection, how they will blame themselves and admit that they wronged themselves in this world. When they see the horrors of the Day of Resurrection with their own eyes, they will be filled with regret at the time when regret will not avail them anything.
وَقَالُواْ يوَيْلَنَا هَـذَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ
