As it is mentioned elsewhere in the Qurän; There were some obstinate men who rejected faith with stubborn courage and who, many a time said to the prophet:ِ ``If you are right, then tell your Lord to punish us as quick as possible, and just now!''

      So were these fools sure of themselves by such opinion that; anything good which befell them was due to their own merits, and good proceeded not from God; and that they were able to get rid of the misfortunes which was attributed to God as His punishment.

      But if God, who is Merciful to all His creatures, was to seize us soon after a sin, there would remain no chance for anyone at all, and we all would be doomed from the begining.

      God's general Mercy and Grace will include all His servants and creatures be they believers or unbelievers. So He does not hasten to punish us, as soon as we sin, and will give us some respite that we may think it over and perhaps amend our deeds. He does give us a good respite, but unfortunately we use it badly, so that it may serve to increase us in rudeness and obstinacy.

      Belief in God, lays deep in man's very existence, just like an instinct. When a trouble touches man, he sincerely appeals to God and prays ardently for rescue. Almost all sorts of people in the hour of trouble appeal to Him, but when He removes their trouble from them, they forget all, and pass on as if they had never called Him for help!

      Few are those who change no attitude and the position that they assumed in their afflication. This is because most of those who have no faith, behave like animals for being void of reason and wisdom. They don't mind to use their brain a little and be thankful to their Lord for rescuing them!
