And had Allah taken the people to task by what they performed of the sins and the acts of disobedience He would not have left upon the back of the earth from any creature crawling upon it, but rather He grants them respite and delays their retribution to a known time with Him, so when the time of their retribution comes then indeed Allah was with His servants All-Seeing, not one from them is hidden from Him, and no knowledge of a thing of their matters escapes from Him, and He will shortly recompense them by what they performed of good or evil.
