አላህም ሰዎችን በበደላቸው በያዛቸው ኖሮ በርሷ ( በምድር ላይ ) ከተንቀሳቃሽ ምንንም ባልተወ ነበር ፡ ፡ ግን እስከ ተወሰነ ጊዜ ድረስ ያቆያቸዋል ፡ ፡ ጊዜያቸውም በመጣ ወቅት አንዲትን ሰዓት አይቆዩም ፤ አይቀደሙምም ፡ ፡
If Allah were to punish men for their wrong-doing , He would not leave , on the ( earth ) , a single living creature : but He gives them respite for a stated Term : When their Term expires , they would not be able to delay ( the punishment ) for a single hour , just as they would not be able to anticipate it ( for a single hour ) .
