The primary data source for this study is Imam Asy-Syauqani's Tafsir Fathul Qadir and other secondary sources that can be used as supporting data. The results of the study indicate that the word laita in the Quran is mentioned 14 times. In terms of the subject who utters it, it can be classified into three groups: first, believers 2 verses; second, hypocrites 1 verse; and third, disbelievers 11 verses. Based on the analysis of interpretation in Tafsir Fathul Qadir, the use of the word laita shows variations in meaning influenced by the context of the sentence and the state of the subject who utters it. In relation to believers, laita means dreams and hopes that are difficult to realize. In hypocrites, laita means regret born from worldly interests. As for the unbelievers, laita means wishful thinking, hope, and regret after the truth is revealed and the coming of Allah SWT's punishment. From all the data studied, the most dominant meaning is wishful thinking, especially wishful thinking about something that has passed or is impossible to come true again.
