So We said: "Strike the (body) with a piece of the (heifer)." Thus Allah bringeth the deadto life and showeth you His Signs: Perchance ye may understand. ( Surah Al-Baqara, 73 )

But Allah did pour His calm on the Messenger and on the Believers, and sent down forceswhich ye saw not: He punished the Unbelievers; thus doth He reward those without Faith.

(Surah At-Tawba, 26 )

If ye help not (your leader), (it is no matter): for Allah did indeed help him, when theUnbelievers drove him out: he had no more than one companion; they two were in thecave, and he said to his companion, "Have no fear, for Allah is with us": then Allah sentdown His peace upon him, and strengthened him with forces which ye saw not, andhumbled to the depths the word of the Unbelievers.But the word of Allah is exalted to theheights: for Allah is Exalted in might, Wise. ( Surah At-Tawba, 40 )

If Allah were to enlarge the provision for His Servants, they would indeed transgressbeyond all bounds through the earth; but he sends (it) down in due measure as Hepleases. For He is with His Servants Well-acquainted, Watchful. ( Surah Ash-Shura, 27 )

25. 'He grants disbelievers respite that they may grow in theiriniquity'

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Allah will throw back their mockery on them, and give them rope in their trespasses; sothey will wander like blind ones (To and fro). ( Surah Al-Baqara, 15 )

Let not the Unbelievers think that our respite to them is good for themselves: We grantthem respite that they may grow in their iniquity: But they will have a shamefulpunishment. ( Surah Al-Imran, 178 )

Think not that Allah doth not heed the deeds of those who do wrong.He but giveth themrespite against a Day when the eyes will fixedly stare in horror,- ( Surah İbrahim, 42 )

If Allah were to punish men for their wrong-doing, He would not leave, on the (earth), asingle living creature: but He gives them respite for a stated Term: When their Termexpires, they would not be able to delay (the punishment) for a single hour, just as theywould not be able to anticipate it (for a single hour). ( Surah An-Nahl, 61 )

Respite will I grant unto them: for My scheme is strong (and unfailing). ( Surah Al-A‘raf,183 )

Say: "If any men go astray, ((Allah)) Most Gracious extends (the rope) to them, until,when they see the warning of Allah (being fulfilled) - either in punishment or in (theapproach of) the Hour,- they will at length realise who is worst in position, and (who)weakest in forces! ( Surah Maryam, 75 )

straight. ( Surah Al-Ma’ida, 16 )
