Question:
What is the interpretation of the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-An'am 6:30] Does the preposition "on" (ʿalā) always indicate elevation? And what is its meaning in this verse?
Answer:
That is, when they meet Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), if only you could see when they are brought before their Lord, for they used to deny the existence of the Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He). So when they are brought before and meet their Lord (Mighty and Majestic) for the Reckoning and are presented to Him, they realize their error,[Al-An'am 6:27].
What is the interpretation of the saying of Allah the Exalted:

وَلَوْ تَرَىٰ إِذْ وُقِفُوا عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْAnswer:
That is, when they meet Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), if only you could see when they are brought before their Lord, for they used to deny the existence of the Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He). So when they are brought before and meet their Lord (Mighty and Majestic) for the Reckoning and are presented to Him, they realize their error,
and will say, "Oh, would that we could be returned [to life on earth] and not deny the signs of our Lord and be among the believers."
فَقَالُوا يَا لَيْتَنَا نُرَدُّ وَلَا نُكَذِّبَ بِآيَاتِ رَبِّنَا وَنَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
