An-Nahl 16:61 ولو يواخذ الله الناس بظلمهم ما ترك عليها من دابة ولاكن يوخرهم الى اجل مسمى فاذا جاء اجلهم لا يستاخرون ساعة ولا يستقدمون ٦١
وَلَوۡ
يُؤَاخِذُ
ٱللَّهُ
ٱلنَّاسَ
بِظُلۡمِهِم
مَّا
تَرَكَ
عَلَيۡهَا
مِن
دَآبَّةٖ
وَلَٰكِن
يُؤَخِّرُهُمۡ
إِلَىٰٓ
أَجَلٖ
مُّسَمّٗىۖ
فَإِذَا
جَآءَ
أَجَلُهُمۡ
لَا
يَسۡتَـٔۡخِرُونَ
سَاعَةٗ
وَلَا
يَسۡتَقۡدِمُونَ
