91آلآنَ وَقَد عَصَيتَ قَبلُ وَكُنتَ مِنَ المُفسِدينَMuhammad Asad[But God said:] "Now?"1- when ever before this thou hast been rebelling [against Us], and hast been among those who spread corruption?I.e., "Dost thou repent now, when it is too late?" Cf. 4:18 - "repentance shall not be accepted from those who do evil deeds until their dying hour, and then say, 'Behold, I now repent'."
