وَلَوۡ

يُؤَاخِذُ

ٱللَّهُ

ٱلنَّاسَ

بِظُلۡمِهِم

مَّا

تَرَكَ

عَلَيۡهَا

مِن

دَآبَّةٖ

وَلَٰكِن

يُؤَخِّرُهُمۡ

إِلَىٰٓ

أَجَلٖ

مُّسَمّٗىۖ

فَإِذَا

جَآءَ

أَجَلُهُمۡ

لَا

يَسۡتَـٔۡخِرُونَ

سَاعَةٗ

وَلَا

يَسۡتَقۡدِمُونَ

٦١

If Allah were to punish people ˹immediately˺ for their wrongdoing, He would not have left a single living being on earth. But He delays them for an appointed term. And when their time arrives, they cannot delay it for a moment, nor could they advance it.
