Al-Hijr 5: No nation can exceed its life, nor can they delay their end.

In Surah Al-Hijr, verse 5: no nation can advance its appointed term or delay it. No nation — here not only humans. These are created beings. no created being can advance its term or delay it. This, from animals to the angelic realm to humans — since all the worlds are programmed, when your term is up, it comes neither an hour earlier nor an hour later, it says.

Why doesn't it say neither a second earlier nor a second later? Why doesn't it say when it ends with the last breath? Now with some people the breathing stops, you say he died, you give the verdict. Then you see that 5 minutes later, 10 minutes later, 15 minutes later he breathes. Does it happen? It does. For some the heart stops, they restart it. Yes, they restart it. In this case, if he still has life span, that life span continues. If not, those whose hearts are restarted within that hour live a bit longer, breathe a bit longer, and die again. Yes, I don't know, within an hour, say. and it says, an hour earlier and an hour later.

No nation can advance its term or delay it. Every person has a life span with Allah. Every person. The life spans of the people to come until the Day of Judgment have been determined.

How life span has been determined for you, this too let me explain.

I don't suppose any (?) on earth would explain this life span.

When Allah Almighty made a covenant with each person — this "Elestü bi Rabbiküm" address, they covered it up deliberately, deliberately — when He made the covenant, when He wrote their desires and wishes, their aims, as destiny for them — within how many breaths will he prove himself? Allah Almighty knows this. Within how many breaths — the person who had the aim of his desire and wish written for him as destiny, in how many breaths will he prove himself? Did you think you would die without proving what kind of person you are? This is the verse. Since Allah Almighty knows it, He gives him that number of breaths as his life span. This is a life span he himself wanted.

Allah does not, then, say to a person: you will live this long, you will live this long. If He did so, attributes would be ascribed to Allah. "Had You given me, too, as much life as You gave (?), maybe I too would have turned in the end." Would he say that? He would. No one can attribute any fault to Allah Almighty. Yes. How the life span is made. This too: within how many breaths a person can prove his desire, wish and aim in the world, himself — however many breaths that is, Allah Almighty knows it. He gives him that as life span. That many breaths. Yes.

He does not give it as time, pay attention. He does not give it as time.

He gives it as a number of breaths.

Had He given it as time, a person would use up his breaths early and groan and moan longing to die. For example, today, when the nicotine poison of smokers fills the pores in the lungs, the person breathes in and out rapidly. When they gamble, in gambling dens, at drinking sprees, at exciting events, they breathe in and out rapidly. Because of these stresses, a person shortens his own life. He shortens his time. He does not shorten his number of breaths. Since Allah Almighty knows what he will do within that number of breaths, that number of breaths He gives him. And within that number of breaths, this person — in drink, gambling, adultery, smoking, in any things the religion of Islam has declared disliked or has forbidden, in exciting places, in smoky places — since he takes his breaths rapidly, he both commits an offense there and becomes a sinner, and also does not feel his life this way.

So in this case: O man, this body that I gave you — I will call you to account for the path you used it on, He says. You will also be called to account for this body.

Yes.

So no nation can advance its term or delay it. Every person has a life span with Allah. The life spans of the people to come until the Day of Judgment have been determined. People's desires and wishes have been written for them as destiny. Apparently Allah Almighty, who made the covenant with us, raised our souls to the realm of barzakh. The destinies people had written for themselves — within however many breaths they will carry them out in their worldly lives, that many breaths have been written for people as their life span. These life spans run out neither a breath earlier nor a breath later.

If a person, while living his life, died one breath before his time, he would die without fulfilling the life span in his destiny, and attributes would be ascribed to Allah. "Maybe I would have turned," he says. You know how people become disbelievers at the last breath, too. "Maybe I would have turned," he says. He would say this, that is.

To Allah Almighty, when a person sees the punishment (?) at the resurrection, he says: within this moment, Islam I was about to accept. Conversely, if a person died one breath after the time of his life span, he would have lived a unit of time that is not in his destiny. This unit of time affects the person's good deeds and sins. With the good deeds or sins a person has done throughout his life, within a one-moment life that is not in his destiny, the good could become bad and the bad good. It could be that the good person says, what have I found in this? Within that one breath, he too goes as a disbeliever.

Yes. So neither a breath earlier nor a breath later. Yes.

In fact, these people's destinies are not the destinies of people defined at the last moment. In a verse, Allah Almighty declares: did you think that, without proving what kind of person you are, you would die? So since the human life span — the time of the destiny a person had written for himself in proportion to the covenant he gave Allah — is his life span, people in this life span die neither a breath earlier nor a breath later. These people leave the world: when their time is up, without falling into heedlessness in their duty, taking their lives — so these people leave the world. So people's destinies and life spans are known to Allah.

All of it is written in the Preserved Tablet. Nothing goes outside this written program, nothing can, and there can be no coincidence either. Yes.
