and if allah were to seize mankind for their wrongdoing he would not leave on it a single moving creature but he postpones them for an appointed term and when their term comes neither can they delay nor can they 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
