00:03:51.900 --> 00:03:55.219 They were stronger and more brutal than them 00:03:55.740 --> 00:04:01.939 It will not be impossible for Him to do to them what He did to those who hastened vengeance 00:04:02.460 --> 00:04:09.139 These polytheists who worship God will not fail us if we want to destroy them 00:04:09.539 --> 00:04:15.139 Because God would not be unable to do anything He wants in the heavens or on earth 00:04:15.729 --> 00:04:19.610 He was aware of His creation and what is 00:04:20.089 --> 00:04:23.290 He is able to take revenge on whomever he wants 00:04:23.610 --> 00:04:26.850 And granting success to those who wish to them to faith 00:04:28.290 --> 00:04:39.360 If God were to hold people accountable for what they have earned, He would not leave a single animal on its back 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:50.079 But He delays them for a specified period 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:59.279 When their time comes, God is ever Seeing of His servants 00:05:01.180 --> 00:05:05.620 Even if God punishes people for the sins and transgressions they have committed 00:05:06.139 --> 00:05:10.100 No animal was left on its back to move around 00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:15.959 But He will postpone their punishment for what they have earned for a period known to Him 00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:22.000 When the time for their punishment comes, then God is ever Seeing of His servants 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:28.079 Who deserves to be punished and who deserves dignity?
