Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

How the Guilty can feel Secure

Allah informs us about His patience, and how He delays the punishment for the sinners who do evil things and call others to do likewise, plotting to call others to do evil - even though He is able to make the earth swallow them or to bring His wrath upon them.

Read in Context

Chapter 16, Page 272, Juz 14

45. Are those who plan evil so sure that God will not make the earth swallow them up, that punishment will not come on them from some unimagined direction, 46. that it will not catch them suddenly in the midst of their comings and goings- for they cannot frustrate God- 47. or that it will not catch up with them gradually? Indeed your Lord is kind and merciful. 48. Do the [disbelievers] not observe the things that God has created, casting their shadows right and left, submitting themselves to God obediently? 49. It is to God that everything in the heavens and earth submits, every beast that moves, even the angels- they are free from arrogance: 50. they fear their Lord above them, and they do as they are commanded.

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
