[18].Surah Al-Kahf [The Cave]: Ayat 42-44


 
Ayat 42. So his fruits were encircled (with ruin). And he remained clapping his hands with sorrow over what he had spent upon it, while it was all destroyed on its trellises, he could only say: "Would I had ascribed no partners to my Lord!"
Ayat 43. And he had no group of men to help him against Allah, nor could he defend or save himself.
Ayat 44. There (on the Day of Resurrection), Al-Walayah (the protection, power, authority and kingdom) will be for Allah (Alone), the True God. He (Allah) is the Best for reward and the Best for the final end. (Lâ ilaha ill-Allah none has the right to be worshipped but Allah).
[Tafseer] (And his fruit was beset (with destruction)) his garden was destroyed; or, according to another reading: his wealth was destroyed. (Then began he to wring his hands) out of regret (for all that he had spent upon it) upon the garden; it is also said that this means: upon all the fruits it contained, (when (now) it was all ruined on its trellises, and to say) on the Day of Judgment: (Would that I had ascribed no partner to my Lord!) would that I had ascribed no idols to my Lord! (And he had no troop of men to help him as against Allah) i.e. against Allah's punishment, (nor could he save himself) from Allah's punishment. (In this case is protection only from Allah) i.e. on the Day of Judgment, dominion and sovereignty belong only to Allah, (the True) the Just. (He is best for reward) He is the best of those who reward, (and best for consequence) and the One who gives the best outcome. 
Hazrat Abdullah bin `Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with them) reported that: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Allah accepts a slave's repentance as long as the latter is not on his death bed (that is, before the soul of the dying person reaches the throat)".
[At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 3537]. 
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Kahf Ayat 42. "he could only say: "Would I had ascribed no partners to my Lord!" The word Ghargharah means the stage when soul is about to leave the body and reaches the throat. In other words, the time when one suffers the agony of death.
