DAY 190: Maryam 75-82

•  Say: “Whoever is ˹entrenched˺ in misguidance, the Most Compassionate will allow them plenty of time, until—behold!—they face what they are threatened with: either the torment or the Hour. Only then will they realize who is worse in position and inferior in manpower.” And Allah increases in guidance those who are ˹rightly˺ guided. And the everlasting good deeds are far better with your Lord in reward and in outcome. Have you seen the one who rejects Our revelations yet boasts, “I will definitely be granted ˹plenty of˺ wealth and children ˹if there is an afterlife˺.”? Has he looked into the unseen or taken a pledge from the Most Compassionate? Not at all! We certainly record whatever he claims and will increase his punishment extensively. And We will inherit what he is talking about, and he will come before Us all by himself. They have taken other gods, instead of Allah, seeking strength ˹and protection˺ through them. But no! Those ˹gods˺ will deny their worship and turn against them.
  (
      Divine Timing ≠ Weakness: Allah’s delay in punishment is mercy, not inability.
      Wealth/Children Are Tests: They can be trials  or blessings—depending on gratitude.
      False Gods Fail: Every object of worship besides Allah will betray its followers.
      
      Allah exposes the folly of those who demand immediate punishment and trust in wealth/false gods —warning that worldly power is a fleeting test, and on Judgment Day, every idol will betray its worshippers, leaving them alone to face His justice.
