[ هود: 3]
11:3 And [saying], "Seek forgiveness of your Lord and repent to Him, [and] He will let you enjoy a good provision for a specified term and give every doer of favor his favor. But if you turn away, then indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a great Day.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishSeek, O people, forgiveness for your sins from your Lord and repent to Him with remorse over your shortcomings.
He will give you good provision in this worldly life until the end of your fixed lifespan.
He will give every person who has merit, by following Him and doing good, a full reward for such behaviour without any decrease.
If you turn away from having faith in what I have brought from my Lord, then I fear for you the punishment of a day whose horrors are intense, which is the Day of Judgement.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And (commanding you): "Seek the forgiveness of your Lord, and turn to Him in repentance, that He may grant you good enjoyment, for a term appointed, and bestow His abounding Grace to every owner of grace (i.e. the one who helps and serves needy and deserving, physically and with his wealth, and even with good words). But if you turn away, then I fear for you the torment of a Great Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection).

11:3 And [saying], "Seek forgiveness of your Lord and repent to Him, [and] translate in arabic
وأن استغفروا ربكم ثم توبوا إليه يمتعكم متاعا حسنا إلى أجل مسمى ويؤت كل ذي فضل فضله وإن تولوا فإني أخاف عليكم عذاب يوم كبير
سورة: هود - آية: ( 3 ) - جزء: ( 11 ) - صفحة: ( 221 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
And you had better invoke Allah, your Creator, for forgiveness and in lowliest plight do stand to Him repentant of the way you conduct yourselves in life. He shall make you enjoy good things in life up to a predetermined point of time. He shall bestow on every one of merit, here below, His divine favour that is commensurate with his merits and shall His grace abound in those entitled to it Hereafter And should they turn a deaf ear, then say to them: I only fear for you the punishment which shall be laid upon the damned on an unbearably Momentous Day
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(11:3) that you may seek forgiveness of your Lord and turn to Him in repentance whereupon He will grant you a fair enjoyment of life until an appointed term, *3 and will bestow favour on everyone who merits favour. *4 But should you turn away (from the truth), I fear for you the chastisement of an Awesome Day.
And [saying], "Seek forgiveness of your Lord and repent to Him, [and] meaning
*3). If a person turns to God in sincere devotion, He will enable him to spend his life felicitously. God will lavish upon him His bounties, confer a variety of benedictions, provide a life of prosperity, grant peace and tranquillity, and cause him to live honourably rather than in ignominy and disgrace. The same idea has been brought forth elsewhere in the Qur'an in the following words:
Whoever acts righteously - whether male or female - the while he is a believer, We will surely grant him a clean life . . . (al-Nahl 16: 97). This verse dispels the Satanic misconception to which simpletons often succumb. The misconception consists of believing that piety, honesty and responsible behaviour might at the most lead to man's well-being in the Next Life, but they certainly play havoc with his life in the present world. Under this mistaken notion it is believed that good people are inevitably destined to live in abject poverty and utter misery. In refuting this misconception, God makes it clear that righteous behaviour is conducive to man's success in both worlds. Those who live a righteous and God-fearing life will achieve success and esteemed position in this world as in the Next. For, a position of true honour in this world falls only to those who, out of their devotion to God, act righteously, who are known for their excellent morals, who adhere to propriety in their dealings with others, who are considered by people to be trustworthy, of whom all expect nothing but goodness and benevolence, and of whom none entertains the fear of any evil.
Implicit in the Qur'anic expression 'a fair enjoyment of life' is another point which should not escape our attention. According to the Qur'an, 'enjoyment of life' is of two kinds: one. which leads people, who are heedless of God, to temptations with the result that they immerse themselves in worldliness and forget God even more. Thus, 'enjoyment of life', though apparently a divine blessing, proves a curse. It becomes the precursor of God's punishment. This is what the Qur'an brands as 'illusory enjoyment'. (See Al 'Imran 3: 185; al-Hadid 57: 20 - Ed.) By contrast, the other kind of enjoyment of life adds to a person's prosperity and physical vitality in such a way that he becomes even more grateful to God. This kind of 'enjoyment of life' prompts man to fulfil the obligations incumbent upon him towards God, towards God's creatures and towards himself. Strengthened by the resources provided by God, man finds himself in a stronger position to effectively promote the cause of good and righteousness and to strive to obliterate evil and mischief. This is the Qur'anic concept of 'fair enjoyment of life' - an enjoyment which does not end with the life of this world, but extends to the Next Life as well.
*4). The more a person excels in moral conduct and good deeds, the higher will be the status that God confers upon him. God does not let anyone's good deeds go to waste. In the same way as God does not show any appreciation for evil, He does not show any lack of appreciation for goodness and virtue. In God's kingdom there is no place for the kind of atrocious injustice and stupidity to which a Persian poet has given expression in the following couplet:
The Arabian steed lies suffering from the wounds of the saddle-pack while a golden necklace adorns the neck of a donkey! God deals with His creatures in such a way that anyone who deserves a reward, is fully granted that reward.

اور یہ کہ تم اپنے رب سے معافی چاہو اور اس کی طرف پلٹ آؤ تو وہ ایک مدت خاص تک تم کو اچھا سامان زندگی دے گا اور ہر صاحب فضل کو اس کا فضل عطا کرے گا لیکن اگر تم منہ پھیرتے ہو تو میں تمہارے حق میں ایک بڑے ہولناک دن کے عذاب سے ڈرتا ہوں
