Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Excerpts from the Holy Qur’an, an Eternal Guidance to Mankind Repentance God is Most Gracious in Giving Mankind a Chance To Repent Surah An – Nahl, 16:61 وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ اللّهُ النَّاسَ بِظُلْمِهِم مَّا تَرَكَ عَلَيْهَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ وَلَكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إلَى أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى فَإِذَا جَاء أَجَلُهُمْ لاَ يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً وَلاَ يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ Wa lau yu-’aakhizul-laahun-naasa bi-zulmihim maa-taraka ‘alay-haa min daaab-batinw-wa laa kiy-yu-’akh-khiruhum ’ilaaa ’ajalim-musam-maa: fa-’izaa jaaa-’a ’ajaluhum laa yasta’-khiruuna saa-‘atanw-wa laa yastaq-dimuun.
61.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.
Surah Al – Fatir, 35:45 وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ بِمَا كَسَبُوا مَا تَرَكَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهَا مِن دَابَّةٍ وَلَكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى فَإِذَا جَاء أَجَلُهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِ بَصِيرًا Wa lau yu - ’aakhizul-laahun-naasa bimaa kasabuu maa taraka ‘alaa zahrihaa min daaab-batinw-wa laakinyu - ’akh-khiruhum ’ilaaa ’ajalim-musam-maa: Fa-’izaa jaaa- ’a ’Ajaluhum fa -’in-nal-laaha kaana bi- ‘ibaadihii Basiiraa. 45.
Now if God were to take men (at once) to task for whatever (wrong) they commit (on earth), He would not leave a single living creature upon its surface. However, He grants them respite for a term set (by Him): but when their term comes to an end - then, verily, (they come to know that) God sees all that is in (the hearts of) His servants.
It is God’s mercy that the sinners in the world are left to themselves with the respite to amend their ways otherwise every one on earth would long have been perished if God had dealt everyone with His strict justice. That is why the holy Ahlul Bayt (a) have taught us to be ever prayerful saying ‘O Lord!
