According to the universal consensus of classical Islamic scholarship, the concept of 'begging for return to the world' (طلب الرجعة إلى الدنيا) is a pivotal eschatological event detailed in the Quran. It describes the desperate and futile plea made by the unrighteous upon facing the reality of the Hereafter. Tafsir Ibn Kathir, in explaining verse 2:167 and related passages, clarifies that this plea is not a sincere repentance but a reaction to witnessing the divine punishment they once denied. The synthesis of verses such as 23:99-100 and 6:27 reveals a consistent theme: at death or on the Day of Judgment, the deniers will promise to live righteously if given a second chance. Al-Tabari's analysis confirms that Allah, in His perfect knowledge, denies this request, stating it is a mere word they utter, and that if they were returned, they would revert to their disbelief. This concept serves as a profound warning, underscoring the finality of death and the absolute necessity of utilizing one's present life for faith and good deeds.
