72 Preface قُل عَسىٰ أَن يَكونَ رَدِفَ لَكُم بَعضُ الَّذي تَستَعجِلونَYusuf AliSay: “It may be that some of the events which ye wish to hasten on may be (close) in your pursuit!”1The Unbelievers?or even men of halfhearted faith-may say, “Why worry over distant future events? Take the day as it comes!” But that is a fallacy. Judgment is certain, and it may be that this very hour may be the hour of doom for any given individual. This is the hour of repentance and amendment. For God wishes well to all mankind in spite of their ingratitude.
