The Holy Quran 68:44 — Surah Al-Qalam

Arabic text

فَذَرْنِى وَمَن يُكَذِّبُ بِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ ۖ سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Translation

So leave Me (to deal) with the one who rejects this speech (this Qur'aan). We shall gradually lead them on (allow them to continue sinning without punishing them) in a manner that they do not realise. (Thinking that punishment will not arrive, the Kuffaar continue sinning, not realising that they are earning for themselves a terrible punishment.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

That is, their punishment is certain, but do not be grieved that the punishment is delayed for a while, and leave their affair to Me. I Myself will deal with them, and will lead them towards Hell gradually, step by step, in such a way that they will not even notice.
