  Al-Mu'akhkhir The Delayer
|
|
Now if God were to take men immediately to task for all the evil that they do on earth, He would not leave a single living creature upon its face. However, He grants them respite until a term set by Him: but when the end of their term approaches, they can neither delay it by a single moment, nor can they hasten it. An-Nahl 16:61, tr. Asad |
