قَدْ خَسِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِلِقَآءِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةً قَالُوا۟ يَـٰحَسْرَتَنَا عَلَىٰ مَا فَرَّطْنَا فِيهَا وَهُمْ يَحْمِلُونَ أَوْزَارَهُمْ عَلَىٰ ظُهُورِهِمْ ۚ أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ ﴿31﴾

Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali

They indeed are losers who denied their Meeting with Allâh, until all of a sudden, the Hour (signs of death) is on them, and they say: "Alas for us that we gave no thought to it," while they will bear their burdens on their backs; and evil indeed are the burdens that they will bear!

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

(Ayah 31) {عَلٰى مَا فَرَّطْنَا فِيْهَا:} Here, the pronoun in {’’ فِيْهَا ‘‘} is either referring back to {’’ الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَاۤ ‘‘}, or to {’’ السَّاعَةُ ‘‘}, meaning: "Oh, our regret! For the shortcoming we committed in the world," or, "for the shortcoming we committed regarding the Hour."

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

31. 1 The loss and disappointment that will befall those who deny the meeting with Allah, the way they will be remorseful over their shortcomings, and the burden of evil deeds they will carry upon themselves, is depicted in the verse. In فَرَّطْنَا فِیْھَا, the pronoun refers to اَلسَّاعَۃُ, meaning the shortcomings we committed regarding the preparation and affirmation of the Day of Judgment; or it refers to الصَّفْقَۃُ (the transaction), which, although not explicitly mentioned in the wording, is indicated by the context, because loss occurs in a transaction. The intended transaction is the one in which they purchased disbelief in exchange for faith, meaning by making this transaction, we committed a grave shortcoming; or it refers to حیاۃ (life), meaning the shortcomings we committed in our lives by engaging in evil, disbelief, and polytheism. (Fath al-Qadeer)

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

Surely those who denied the meeting with Allah are the losers, until when the Hour comes upon them suddenly, they will say: "Alas for us, how negligent we were regarding this matter!" And they will be carrying their burdens of sin [35] on their backs. Behold! How evil is the load they bear.

[35] The burden of sins will not be merely imaginary or conceptual, but this burden will be given a form and placed on the backs of the sinners in the shape of certain animals. As is explicitly mentioned in authentic ahadith.
