and if allah were to punish mankind for their wrongdoing he would not leave on it a single moving creature but he defers them to an appointed term and when their term comes they can neither delay nor advance it an hour .
ولو يؤاخذ الله الناس بظلمهم ما ترك عليها من دابة ولكن يؤخرهم إلى أجل مسمى فإذا جاء أجلهم لا يستأخرون ساعة ولا يستقدمون
