Al-Qalam (The Pen): (32) Perhaps our Lord will give us better than this...

**{Perhaps our Lord will give us better than this}** It has been recited with both the lightened form (yubdilana) and the intensified form (yubaddilana). **{Indeed, to our Lord we are desirous (or seeking)}** Meaning, we are petitioners to Him for good, hoping for His pardon. Scholars have differed regarding this statement: 1. Some said that this was a statement of their repentance. 2. Others paused concerning this, saying that this speech could also imply that they were merely expressing a desire for worldly gain.
