Punishment Delay

Punishment Delay الاستدراج والامهال

  • وَلاَ يَحْزُنكَ الَّذِينَ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْكُفْرِ إِنَّهُمْ لَن يَضُرُّواْ اللَّهَ شَيْئًا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ أَلاَّ يَجْعَلَ لَهُمْ حَظًّا فِي الآخِرَةِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ
  • إِنَّ الَّذِينَ اشْتَرَوُاْ الْكُفْرَ بِالإِيمَانِ لَن يَضُرُّواْ اللَّهَ شَيْئًا وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
  • وَلاَ يَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ أَنَّمَا نُمْلِي لَهُمْ خَيْرٌ لِّأَنفُسِهِمْ إِنَّمَا نُمْلِي لَهُمْ لِيَزْدَادُواْ إِثْمًا وَلَهُمُ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ 178

[ آل عمران 176 – 178 ] (3)

  1. And do not be grieved, [O Muúammad], by those who hasten into disbelief. Indeed, they will never harm Allāhat all. Allāh intends that He should give them no share in the Hereafter, and for them is a great punishment.
  2. Indeed, those who purchase disbelief [in exchange] for faith – never will they harm Allāhat all, and for them is a painful punishment.
  3. And let not those who disbelieve ever think that [because] We extend their time [of enjoyment] it is better for them. We only extend it for them so that they may increase in sin, and for them is a humiliating punishment.

3-Al’Imran

  • لاَ يَغُرَّنَّكَ تَقَلُّبُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِي الْبِلادِ 196
  • مَتَاعٌ قَلِيلٌ ثُمَّ مَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ وَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ
  • لَكِنِ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا رَبَّهُمْ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا نُزُلاً مِّنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ وَمَا عِندَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لِّلأَبْرَارِ 198

[ آل عمران 196 – 198 ] (3)

  1. Be not deceived by the [uninhibited] movement of the disbelievers throughout the land.
  2. [It is but] a small enjoyment; then their [final] refuge is Hell, and wretched is the resting place.
  3. But those who feared their Lord will have gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding eternally therein, as accommodation from Allāh. And that which is with Allāhis best for the righteous.

3-Al’Imran

  • وَمِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا أُمَّةٌ يَهْدُونَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهِ يَعْدِلُونَ 181
  • وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ 182
  • وَأُمْلِي لَهُمْ إِنَّ كَيْدِي مَتِينٌ 183

[ الاعراف 181 – 183 ] (7)

7-AlA’raf

  • وَلاَ تَحْسَبَنَّ اللَّهَ غَافِلاً عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِيهِ الأَبْصَارُ 42
  • مُهْطِعِينَ مُقْنِعِي رُؤُوسِهِمْ لاَ يَرْتَدُّ إِلَيْهِمْ طَرْفُهُمْ وَأَفْئِدَتُهُمْ هَوَاء 43

[ ابراهيم  42 – 43 ] (14)

  1. And never think that Allāhis unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them for a Day when eyes will stare [in horror].
  2. Racing ahead, their heads raised up, their glance does not come back to them, and their hearts are void.

14-Ibrahim

  • وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ بِظُلْمِهِم مَّا تَرَكَ عَلَيْهَا مِن دَابَّةٍ وَلَكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لاَ يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً وَلاَ يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ

[ النحل : 61 ] (16)

  1. And if Allāh were to impose blame on the people for their wrongdoing, He would not have left upon the earth any creature, but He defers them for a specified term. And when their term has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].

16-AnNahl

  • أَوَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَكَانُوا أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُعْجِزَهُ مِن شَيْءٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَلا فِي الأَرْضِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَلِيمًا قَدِيرًا 44
  • وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ بِمَا كَسَبُوا مَا تَرَكَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهَا مِن دَابَّةٍ وَلَكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِ بَصِيرًا 45

[ فاطر 44 – 45 ] (35)

  • وَأُمْلِي لَهُمْ إِنَّ كَيْدِي مَتِينٌ 45

[ سورة القلم 44-45 ] (68)
