Commentary
Allāh created everything according to the predestined limits and He ﷺ appointed a specific time scale for everything, He gives things respite to reach their intended time; He deals with the people according to the same principle. If a nation chooses a way of transgression, He does not punish them immediately, He gives them respite so that they may practise all their powers and abilities of good and bad, until the case is established against them; the Quraish were dealt with in the same way.
