Day 71
Name: Al-Mu’akhkhir
Allah is the delayer.
If Allah were to punish us for our bad actions there would not be a creature left on earth. Imagine every time you committed a sin, Allah punished you? Can you even imagine? We as a human race would not even have an existence. But Allah defers his punishment until an appointed time.
“And if Allah were to impose blame on the people for their wrongdoing, He would not have left upon the earth any creature, but He defers them for a specified term. And when their term has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].” 16:61
Look at the Rahma of Allah. If someone were to impose harm on you, we naturally we get the back immediately but when dealing with Allah, Allah delays his punishment allowing us more time to repent. Allah delays his punishment on us and gives us every second of the day to repent in order for him not to punish us. Allah does not want to punish us, this is a HUGE misconception that Allah is an angry being that wants to punish everyone. Allah does not want to punish anyone, Allah is Al-Mu’akhkhair, Allah delays his punishment in order for him not to punish us.
