45وَلَو يُؤاخِذُ اللَّهُ النّاسَ بِما كَسَبوا ما تَرَكَ عَلىٰ ظَهرِها مِن دابَّةٍ وَلٰكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُم إِلىٰ أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى ۖ فَإِذا جاءَ أَجَلُهُم فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ بِعِبادِهِ بَصيرًاN. J. DawoodIf it was God’s will to punish men for their misdeeds, not one creature would be left alive on the earth’s surface. He respites them till an appointed time. And when their time comes, they shall learn that God has been watching all His servants.
