Al-Mu'akhkhir The
Delayer
Now
if God were to take men immediately to task for all the evil
that they do on earth, He would not leave a single living
creature upon its face. However, He grants them respite until a
term set by Him: but when the end of their term approaches, they
can neither delay it by a single moment, nor can
they hasten it. An-Nahl
16:61, tr. Asad
