If the punishment descends upon them and you are among them...

If the punishment descends upon them and you are among them, you will hasten to the mercy of Allah -azwj . And if you are delayed, they will be tested, and you have already left what they are in of audacity towards Allah -azwj . And know, that Allah -azwj does not Waste the Recompense of the good doers, and that the Mercy of Allah -azwj is very Near to those who do good\u2019 .
