Sura 21
Aya 37
37
خُلِقَ الإِنسانُ مِن عَجَلٍ ۚ سَأُريكُم آياتي فَلا تَستَعجِلونِ

Yusuf Ali

Man is a creature of haste:1 soon (enough) will I show you My Signs; then ye will not ask Me to hasten them!
  • Haste is the very bone and marrow of man. If he is granted respite for his own sake, in order that he may have a further chance of repentance and coming back to God, he says impatiently and incredulously; “Bring on the Punishment quickly, that I may see if what you say is true!” Alas, it is too true! When the Punishment actually comes near and he sees it, he will not want it hastened. He will want more time and further delay! Poor creature of haste! (Cf. 75:20).
