18:36

وَمَآ أَظُنُّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ قَآئِمَةًۭ وَلَئِن رُّدِدتُّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى لَأَجِدَنَّ خَيْرًۭا مِّنْهَا مُنقَلَبًۭا ٣٦

Saheeh International

And I do not think the Hour will occur. And even if I should be brought back to my Lord, I will surely find better than this as a return."

Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

وَمَا أَظُنُّ السَّاعَةَ قَايِمَةً"And I do not think the Hour will ever come..." meaning, will ever happen وَلَيِن رُّدِدتُّ إِلَى رَبِّي لَاَجِدَنَّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهَا مُنقَلَبًاand if indeed I am brought back to my Lord, I surely shall find better than this when I return to Him.meaning, `if there is a Hereafter and a return to Allah, then I will have a better share than this with my Lord, for if it were not that I am dear to Him, He would not have given me all this.'As Allah says elsewhere:وَلَيِن رُّجِّعْتُ إِلَى رَبِّى إِنَّ لِى عِندَهُ لَلْحُسْنَىBut if I am brought back to my Lord, surely there will be for me the best with Him. (41:50)أَفَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِى كَفَرَ بِـَايَـتِنَا وَقَالَ لاوتَيَنَّ مَالاً وَوَلَداًHave you seen him who disbelieved in Our Ayat and said:"I shall certainly be given wealth and children (if I will be alive again)." (19:77)He took it for granted that Allah would give him this, without any sound evidence for that.The reason why this Ayah was revealed was because of Al-`As bin Wa'il, as we will explain in the appropriate place, if Allah wills. In Allah we put our trust.
