Were God to punish people for their deeds immediately, not one creature would have survived on earth. However, He has given them a respite for an appointed time and when their term comes to an end, let it be known that God watches over His servants.
もしアッラーが，人間をその所業によって罰されるならば，地上に，一人の生存者も残されなかったであろう。だがかれは期限を定めて，かれらを猶予なされた。だが，かれらの期限が到来すれば，本当にアッラーはしもべたちの監視者であられる。
