The Holy Quran 14:42 — Surah Ibrahim

Arabic text

وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَـٰفِلًا عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ ۚ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِيهِ ٱلْأَبْصَـٰرُ

Translation

Never think that Allaah is unaware of what the oppressors do. (Allaah does not punish them immediately because) He is only granting them respite until a day (the Day of Qiyaamah) when gazes (of people) will be fixed upwards (because of their intense fright).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

One ruku' (section) earlier, after mentioning many great blessings, [Allah] said: اِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ لَظَلُوْمٌ كَفَّار (man is most unjust and ungrateful). Then, by narrating the story of Ibrahim ﵇, He reminded the disbelievers of Makkah of certain special blessings and pointed to their wrongdoing and shirk (associating partners with Allah).
