Why God Does Not Immediately Punish the Disbelievers?

[Equality]

The Secret of Why God Does Not Immediately Punish the Disbelievers:

One of the secrets revealed in the Qur'an is that people are not repaid immediately for the wrong acts they commit, but punishment is deferred until a specified time. This is related in verses as follows:

If God were to take mankind to task for what they have earned, He would not leave a single creature crawling on the surface (of the earth), but He is deferring them until a specified time. Then, when their time comes, God sees His servants! (Surah Fatir: 45)

Your Lord is The Ever-Forgiving, The Possessor of Mercy. If He had taken them to task for what they have earned, He would have hastened their punishment. Instead, they have a promised appointment and they will not find any refuge from it. (Surat al-Kahf: 58)

That many people are not immediately repaid for their wrong actions may lead them to think that they will never be held accountable for their evil acts. This presumption hinders them from asking for repentance, feeling regret and rectifying their errors. Furthermore, this adds to their insolence. Being bereft of wisdom, they cannot foresee that this will render their punishment even more unbearable in the hereafter. In the Qur'an, God states the following:

Those who disbelieve should not imagine that the extra time We grant to them is good for them. We only allow them more time so they will increase in evildoing. They will have a humiliating punishment. (Surah Ali 'Imran: 178)

This is a delay created by God only to put man to the test. However, there is surely an appointed time in the sight of God so that every man can be repaid for what he has engaged in. When this appointed time is over, it can neither be delayed nor drawn closer, not for a moment. God informs us that everyone will certainly be repaid:

And were it not for a decree that has already gone forth from your Lord, and a specified term, (their punishment) would have inevitably taken place already. (Surah Ta Ha: 129)

I will give them more time. My subtle scheme is sure. (Surat al-A'raf: 183)

How we can invite the Disbelievers to come to the right path?

[Equality]

salam shamsery,

one of the way is what we are doing now , to spread the religion of Allaah in evey where and how, this spreading of islamic knwoledge must be based on logic and scientific bases which have no objection with Quraan and islam

there are two types of disbelievers
first type who is seeking the truth to judge religoens, and that he will be neutral in his comparison in a scientific and logic way

another type is a type of persons who loves to attack Islam, because he hate it and he does not tolerate Muslims, and he had wrong prejustice, and he doesn't seek the real truth.!
and this type we ask Allah to calm and wake him up because he will reach no where except with his hate!, however we will not stop from our objective we will do our best to convince him to the right religion In shaa Allah

Well if we have for example 3 or more religions in our basket and we want to examine them logically and scientifically which one is true and which one is false..which one deserve to be followed and which one to reject .!

You may ask why I choose Science to judge religions?
and my answer is because Science has solid facts in every branch of the life, and Sciences is the engine of the modern life and Science is widely accepted tool in judgment without being a byus.
there are other ways to invite disbelievers ti islam and this will be
by expanding our da'wah to include both Muslims and non-Muslims

by increasing the cooperation and interaction between Muslims involved in da'wah in many parts of the world;

Further, we must emphasise also that without the help of Allaah, we cannot achieve success of the invitation.

Salm,
1. You mean that there is no contradiction in between holly Quran with modern science and logic?
2. For doing so patience, respect to others, love and affection with sound knowledge are needed? Could I express me?

[Equality]

Quran always opens new horizons of thoughts for thinkers and scientist and the right types of science and knowledge leads, always, to faith and believe. There is no contradiction between science and Quran. Therefore scientist must initiate their theories carefully and religious scholars must interpret the Quranic verse correctly. Quran dealt with so many scientific issues such as the creation of the cosmos, the issue of time and place. Quran says that Allah, The Almighty has created the Universe in six days. But we must know that days of Allah are not necessarily similar to the days we, human beings, know, because time is proportionate matter and not an absolute issue. This fact goes hand in hand with the conclusions of the modern science and the theory proportionate.

Islam supports the science; but a full and continuous science, which does not include conjectures, a science which does not stop to take responsibility for explaining some facts after a point, a science able to explain itself too. Islam being the Ultra-Science, gives us tools to understand everything including science; and bestows upon science the place it deserves; while in the present mentality, science is something that makes us understand physical, chemical, biological, ... events; but does not provide us with any tool to understand itself.
