The Holy Quran 19:75 — Surah Maryam

Arabic text

قُلْ مَن كَانَ فِى ٱلضَّلَـٰلَةِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ مَدًّا ۚ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَأَوْا۟ مَا يُوعَدُونَ إِمَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ وَإِمَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَأَضْعَفُ جُندًا

Translation

(Allaah gives a second reply to their assumption by instructing Rasulullaah ﷺ to) Say, “Allaah shall grant respite to those who are astray (He will grant them more bounties of this world) until they (increase in kufr and sin and eventually) witness what (punishment) has been promised to them, which shall either be punishment (in this world) or (on the Day of) Qiyaamah (which will herald the beginning of their punishment in the Aakhirah). Then they (the Kuffaar) will know who has the worst standing and who has the weakest army."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Freedom of action in this world: that is, whoever has himself fallen into misguidance, let [the Most Merciful] leave him to go on in misguidance, for this world is a place of testing. Here everyone has been given freedom of action in general.
