Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

How the Guilty can feel Secure

Allah informs us about His patience, and how He delays the punishment for the sinners who do evil things and call others to do likewise, plotting to call others to do evil - even though He is able to make the earth swallow them or to bring His wrath upon them.

Read in Context

Chapter 16, Page 272, Juz 14

45. Do those who contrive evil plots feel immune from that Allah makes them sink into the earth, or from that the punishment comes to them from where they would not perceive, 46. or that He seizes them when roaming about - while they are not able to frustrate Him - 47. or that He seizes them while they are in apprehension? So, indeed your Lord is Very-Kind, Very-Merciful. 48. Have they not observed the things Allah has created, their shadows inclining from the right and the left prostrating themselves before Allah, while they are humble? 49. To Allah prostrates itself whatever creature there is in the heavens and in the earth, and the angels, and they show no arrogance. 50. They fear their Lord above them and do as they are commanded.

- T. Usmani
