Page 74 - Learning from the Qur'an

How many wrongdoing cities I allowed time to and then I seized
them. I am their final destination! (Qur'an, 22:48)
Those who do not believe should not imagine that the extra time
We grant to them is good for them. We only allow them more time
so they will increase in evildoing. They will have a humiliating
punishment. (Qur'an, 3:178)
But Allah is mocking them, and drawing them on, as they wander
blindly in their excessive insolence. (Qur'an, 2:15)
Say: 'As for those who are astray, let the All-Merciful prolong their
term until they see what they were promised, whether it be the
punishment or the Hour. Then they will know who is in the worse
position and has the weaker troops.' (Qur'an, 19:75)
I will give them more time. My strategy is sure. (Qur'an, 7:183)

HE GIVES CONSTRAINT AND
DIFFICULTY TO DISBELIEVERS
When Allah desires to guide someone, He expands his breast to
Islam. When He desires to misguide someone, He makes his breast
narrow and constricted as if he were climbing up into the sky.
That is how Allah defiles those who have no faith. (Qur'an, 6:125)

HE MISGUIDES THOSE WHO DISBELIEVE
And what of him the evil of whose actions appears fine to him so
that he sees them as good? Allah misguides whoever He wills and
guides whoever He wills. So do not let yourself waste away out
of regret for them. Allah knows what they do. (Qur'an, 35:8)
They have no one to protect or help them apart from Allah. There
is no way out for anyone Allah misguides. (Qur'an, 42:46)
