Surah Fatir — 35:45

وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّاسَ بِمَا كَسَبُوا۟ مَا تَرَكَ عَلَىٰ ظَهْرِهَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ وَلَـٰكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِۦ بَصِيرًۢا

Wa law yu'aakhizul laahun naasa bima kasaboo maa taraka 'alaa zahrihaa min daaabbatinw wa laakiny yu'akhkhiruhum ilaaa ajalim musamman fa izaa jaaa'a ajaluhum fa innal laaha kaana bi'ibaadihee Baseeraa

A jeśliby Bóg chciał karać ludzi za to, co oni dokonali, to nie pozostawiłby na powierzchni ziemi żadnej istoty żyjącej . Lecz On daje im zwłokę do oznaczonego terminu. A kiedy nadejdzie ich termin... zaprawdę, Bóg jasno widzi Swoje sługi!

If God were to take people to task for what they have earned, he would not leave a single creature on its surface. But he grants them respite until an appointed term, and when their term comes — indeed, God is ever-seeing of his servants.
