Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem As Salaamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barkatuh! Al Qur'anic Mail [The Best Guide Al-Qur'an] [103. Surah Al-Asr : Ayah 1-3] "By the Time! Man is surely in loss, except those who believed and did good works, and exhorted one another to truth, and exhorted one another to patience." Allah Respites Men till an Appointed Time [16. Surah An-Nahl : Ayah 61] "If Allah were to punish men for their wrong-doing, He would not leave, on the (earth), a single living creature: but He gives them respite for a stated Term: When their Term expires, they would not be able to delay (the punishment) for a single hour, just as they would not be able to anticipate it (for a single hour). " Commentary Al-Haleem is the One Who bestows favors, both outward and inward, lavishly to His creation despite their many acts of disobedience and transgression. He is gentle upon those that disobey him and in censuring them so that perchance they may repent and gives them respite so that they may become sorrowful. * He is the One Who causes apparent and hidden bounties to follow graciously unto His creation, even though have many sins and flaws. He is gentle with the disobedience of the disobeyers. He gives them an opportunity to repent and grants them time to turn unto Him. * [Tafseer Ash-Shaikh Abdur Rahmaan As-Sa’dee, 5/630] Courtesy: Yahoo Group ALQURANIC ~ Please join ~ ~Precious_Teachings_Of_Islam~ http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/Precious_Teachings_Of_Islam/ ~Divine_Light_Of_Allah~ http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/Divine_Light_Of_Allah/join ~ALLAH_KA_NOOR~ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ALLAH_KA_NOOR/join ~And learn more about Islam~ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
