Then the Qur’an makes mention of this point that Allah provides all oppressors with a respite for a certain amount of time until their nominal death (certain limited time), thus delaying their death time. However, as their death approaches, no advancing nor delaying for the least time will occur. By contrast, their death will take place at that exact date which will neither come in advance nor in retardation.

The verse says: “…but He respites them until an appointed time; so, when their term comes, they can not delay (it) an hour nor (yet) can they advance (it).” As for the significance of the phrase: /’ajalin musamm a/ (an appointed time), the commentators have expressed various ideas. However, with regard to other verses of the Qur’an, including verse 2 of the Surah Al-’An‘am, No. 6 and verse 34 of Surah Al-’A‘raf, No. 7 it seems that the purpose is to be the arrival of death itself.

That is, Allah respites people until the end of their lifetime in order to complete the argument, so that haply the oppressors try to reform themselves, reconstructing their life experiences, and thus returning to Allah, the truth and justice. When this respite expires, the order as to their death will be issued, and just from that very moment their punishments and retributions start.

Inevitably the Fire is theirs and they will be the foremost (to it).” The Qur’an condemns once again the ugly innovations and superstitions which the Ignorant Arabs entertained concerning the hatred towards their daughters with a novel expression. It also condemns their belief saying that the angels are daughters of Allah. The verse says: “And they assign unto Allah what they (themselves) dislike…” This is an astonishing contradiction.

If the angels are daughters of Allah, then it becomes obvious that girls are ‘good things’, why then are you unhappy for having daughters born to your own families? In case it is a bad thing to have daughters, then why do you consider it for Allah? Nevertheless, they falsely claim that the ultimate good result and good reward belongs to them. How can they expect such a reward and with what good performance?
