DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-ithnayn, 18th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1446AH (Monday, 21st October 2024). THE WISDOM BEHIND ALLAH DELAYING THE PUNISHMENT FOR OUR SINS. BismilLah.
Let's continue with the tafseer of what ALLAH said in Qur'an 35:45:
﴾وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ بِمَا كَسَبُواْ مَا تَرَكَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ﴿
(And if ALLAH were to punish men for that which they earned, HE would not leave a moving creature on the surface of the earth;) meaning, if HE were to punish them for all of their sins, HE would destroy all the people of the earth and all that they own of livestock and crops. Sa`id bin Jubayr and As-Suddi commented on the Ayah:﴾مَا تَرَكَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ﴿
(HE would not leave a moving creature on the surface of the earth;) "This means HE would have stopped sending rain to them, and all the animals would have died as a result."﴾وَلكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إلَى أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى﴿
(but HE gives them respite to an appointed term,) means, but HE is delaying until the Day of Resurrection, when HE will bring them to account and will reward or punish each one according to his deeds: HE will reward those who obeyed HIM and will punish those who disobeyed HIM. HE says:﴾فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِ بَصِيراً﴿
(and when their term comes, then verily, ALLAH is Ever All-Seer of HIS servants. Let's be mindful of these warnings from ALLAH and strive to obey ALLAH in all we do.
May ALLAH keeps guiding us and protecting us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
