Respite for the Wrong Doers

The Glorious Qur’an quotes thus,

“And let not those who disbelieve think that Our granting them respite is better for their souls; We grant them respite only that they may add to their sins; and they shall have a disgraceful chastisement.”

(Surah Ä€li- ‘Imran 3:178)

Imam RiÄa (a.s.) said,

“By Allah, they have not been punished with anything more severe than Imla (respite).”

(Safinat’ul-BihÄr)

Imam Sajjad (a.s.) has mentioned in Du’a al-Makarimul Akhlaq:

“(O Allah). Give me such a life that my (long) life is spent in obedience to you. And when my life becomes a field of Satan take away my soul towards you (before I become eligible for Divine retribution).”
