Commentary
a. If Allāh does not punish an evildoer immediately, it does not mean that he has escaped from Allāh, but Allāh gives him respite until a certain time, and then seizes him suddenly.
b. Giving respite to evildoers shows the mercy of Allāh. They may use this time to accept the true guidance, escape from the torment of Allāh and deserve His blessings.
