Al-Anbya 111: “I do not know, perhaps it (that your time has been prolonged and the punishment delayed) is a calamity or it is a benefit until some time.”

Surah Al-Anbiya, verse 111, a verse that is interpreted wrongly; we will read the correct one before reading the wrong one. I cannot know; the prolonging of your promise, the postponement of the punishment, perhaps for you this penalty is an affliction, or an enjoyment for a time. Let's see, these (?). (?) let's see. Surah Al-Anbiya, yes Al-Anbiya Surah, yes Verse 111: I do not know. Perhaps that postponement of the punishment is to test you and, for a time, to let you benefit from opportunities. Look, look. Allah Almighty has no knowledge of the future. It's coming. Pay attention, look. Perhaps that postponement of the punishment is to test you.

So we are being tested. Whereas, according to the covenant we gave, as long as we can prove ourselves in that covenant of ours, that much time became a lifetime for us. Within this lifetime of ours, Allah Almighty programmed these worlds, and within this program it will go on until that time. Here is the verse. I cannot know, the prolonging of your promise. That is, the postponement of the punishment. Perhaps for you this penalty is an affliction or an enjoyment for a time. If people, because of the mistakes or denials they commit on earth, because of their denials, were seized at once, not a single living being would remain moving on earth.

Why is there a postponement of the punishment? Why are these afflictions postponed a little? We were created deficient. Because we were created deficient, we can commit mistakes. So there are those who are Muslim and yet live kufr. There are those who in the end turn to Islam. That is the postponement of the punishment and the affliction. Granting him life. So if, despite people's denials, Allah Almighty does not seize you at once and does not destroy you, it is to test you or to let you benefit from these trials, it says. Whereas it is so that you prove to yourselves what kind of person you are. Yes.

That is, perhaps you come to your senses, realize that the path you are on is wrong, and turn back. A door of opportunity is being opened for you. Allah is the Owner of wisdom. We cannot know what He does and why. We only know as much as He has made known. Every person has a lifetime that is decreed. This lifetime is in proportion to his destiny. Since the deeds they will perform within their destiny depend on time, the end of the time of these deeds is the end of the person's life. This too is in Allah's knowledge. So a person, within his destiny, so that he can hold himself as witness before Allah Almighty, will fill out his lifetime. The deeds he has done within this lifetime will, as the person's rewards and sins, confront him in the realm of the hereafter.

Therefore it is that the person, so that with the filling of his lifetime he is held as witness to his surroundings and to Allah, is given a respite.
