Punishment Delayed
Warn people of the Day when punishment will come upon them, and the wrongdoers will plead, “Our Lord, grant us a brief delay so we may respond to Your call and follow the messengers.” But it will be said, “Did you not swear before that you would never perish?”
14:44And warn mankind of a day when the doom will come upon them, and those who did wrong will say: Our Lord! Reprieve us for a little while. We will obey Thy call and will follow the messengers. (It will be answered): Did ye not swear before that there would be no end for you?
