Na lau kuwa Mwenyezi Mungu angeli wachukulia watu kwa mujibu wa dhulma (16:61)

﴿وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ بِظُلْمِهِم مَّا تَرَكَ عَلَيْهَا مِن دَابَّةٍ وَلَٰكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۖ فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً ۖ وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ﴾
[ النحل: 61]

Na lau kuwa Mwenyezi Mungu angeli wachukulia watu kwa mujibu wa dhulma zao, basi asingeli mwacha hapa hata mnyama mmoja. Lakini anawaakhirisha mpaka muda ulio wekwa. Na unapo fika muda wao hawatakawilia hata saa moja wala hawatatangulia.

Swahili Translation - Al-Barwani

English - Sahih International

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].

Tafsiri ya maana yake kwenye lugha ya Kiswahili

Na lau kuwa Mwenyezi Mungu angeli wachukulia watu kwa mujibu wa dhulma zao, basi asingeli mwacha hapa hata mnyama mmoja. Lakini anawaakhirisha mpaka muda ulio wekwa. Na unapo fika muda wao hawatakawilia hata saa moja wala hawatatangulia.

Na lau kuwa Mwenyezi Mungu angeli fanya haraka kuwaadhibu watu kwa dhulma zao wanazo zifanya, basi asingeli mwacha hata mnyama mmoja juu ya ardhi. Lakini Yeye kwa upole wake na hikima yake anawaakhirisha madhaalimu mpaka wakati aliyo uweka, nao ndio wakati utapo kwisha muda wao. Ukija wakati huo hawato taakhari hata kidogo, wala hawato tangulia.
