(16:61) | وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ ٱللَّـهُ ٱلنَّاسَ بِظُلْمِهِم مَّا تَرَكَ عَلَيْهَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ وَلَٰكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ سَاعَةً وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ | wa‑law yuākhidhu allāhu l‑nāsa biẓulmihim mā taraka ʿalayhā min dābbatin wa‑lākin yuʾakhkhiruhum ila ajalin musamman fa‑idhā jāa ajaluhum lā yastaʾkhirūna sāʿatan wa‑lā yastaqdimūna | 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).
