Surah Al-A'raf — Ayah 183 (7:183)
وَأُمۡلِي لَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ كَيۡدِي مَتِينٌ ١٨٣
English translation (Saheeh International)
And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.
Brief commentary
I delay the punishment of such people until they think they will not receive a punishment, so they keep increasing in their rejection and disbelief, thus their punishment also increases. My Planning is Strong-I outwardly display to them Kindness, but I intend for them to be forsaken.
