The Impossible Wishes:

The impossible wishes are the wishes the Quran told us will be asked for by the nonbelievers. Nonbelievers, when they realize that all they have been warned of is true, will start to make these wishes that will never be fulfilled.

These impossible wishes are:

  1. Woe to me! Would that I were dust! )[Qur’an 78: 40]
  2. He will say: “Alas! Would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for (this) my life!” [Qur’an 89: 24]
  3. But as for him who will be given his Record in his left hand, will say: “I wish that I had not been given my Record! [Qur’an 69: 25]
  4. Ah! Woe to me! Would that I had never taken so-and-so as a friend! [Qur’an 25: 28]
  5. On the Day when their faces will be turned over in the Fire, they will say: “Oh, would that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger (Muhammad SAW). [Qur’an 33: 66]
  6. She said: “Would that I had died before this, and had been forgotten and out of sight! [Qur’an 19: 23]
  7. And (remember) the Day when the Zalim (wrong-doer, oppressor, polytheist, etc.) will bite at his hands, he will say: “Oh! Would that I had taken a path with the Messenger (Muhammad SAW). [Qur’an 25: 27]
  8. Oh! I wish I had been with them; then I would have achieved a great success (a good share of booty). [Qur’an 4: 73]
