And I respite them; certainly My Plan is strong.

Muhammad Asad

And lo! Thy Sustainer made it known that most certainly He would rouse against them, unto Resurrection Day, people who would afflict them with cruel suffering: verily, thy Sustainer is swift in retribution – yet, verily, He is [also] much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace.

اور میں ان کو مہلت دیئے جاتا ہوں میری تدبیر (بڑی) مضبوط ہے

وَأُمْلِي لَهُمْ أي: أُمْهِلُهُم حتى يظنوا أنهم لا يؤخذون ولا يعاقبون، فيزدادون كفرا وطغيانا، وشرا إلى شرهم، وبذلك تزيد عقوبتهم، ويتضاعف عذابهم، فيضرون أنفسهم من حيث لا يشعرون، ولهذا قال: إِنَّ كَيْدِي مَتِينٌ أي: قوي بليغ.

وأمهل هؤلاء الذين كذبوا بآياتنا حتى يظنوا أنهم لا يعاقبون، فيزدادوا كفرًا وطغيانًا، وبذلك يتضاعف لهم العذاب. إن كيدي متين، أي: قوي شديد لا يُدْفع بقوة ولا بحيلة.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Ismail ibn KathirEnglish

وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَايَـتِنَا سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ (Those who reject Our Ayat, We shall gradually seize them in ways they perceive not) meaning, the doors of provisions will be opened for them and also the means of livelihood, in this life. They will be deceived by all this and think that they are on the correct path. Allah said in another instance, فَلَمَّا نَسُواْ مَا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهِ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابَ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرِحُواْ بِمَآ أُوتُواْ أَخَذْنَـهُمْ بَغْتَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ مُّبْلِسُونَ - فَقُطِعَ دَابِرُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ وَالْحَمْدُ للَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَـلَمِينَ (So, when they forgot (the warning) with which they had been reminded, We opened for them the gates of every (pleasant) thing, until in the midst of their enjoyment in that which they were given, all of a sudden, We took them (in punishment), and lo! They were plunged into destruction with deep regrets and sorrow. So the root of the people who did wrong was cut off. And all the praises and thanks are to Allah, the Lord of all that exists.)6:44-45. Allah said here, وَأَمْلَى لَهُمْ (And I respite them) prolong what they are in, إِنَّ كَيْدِى مَتِينٌ (certainly My plan is strong) and perfect.

Hafiz Ibn KathirUrdu

سامان تعیش کی کثرت عتاب الٰہی بھی ہے یعنی ایسے لوگوں کو روزی میں کشادی دی جائے گی، معاش کی آسانیاں ملیں گی، وہ دھوکے میں پڑجائیں گے اور حقانیت کو بھول جائیں گے۔ جب پورے مست ہوجائیں گے اور ہماری نصیحت کو گئی گذری کردیں گے تو ہم انہیں ہر طرح کے آرام دیں گے یہاں تک کہ وہ مست ہوجائیں تب انہیں ہم ناگہانی پکڑ میں پکڑ لیں گے۔ اس وقت وہ مایوسی کے ساتھ منہ تکتے رہ جائیں گے اور ان ظالموں کی رگ کٹ جائے گی۔ حقیقتاً تعریفوں کے لائق صرف اللہ تعالیٰ ہی ہے۔ انہیں میں تو ڈھیل دونگا اور یہ میرے اس داؤ سے بیخبر ہوں گے۔ میری تدبیر کبھی ناکام نہیں ہوتی وہ بڑی مضبوط اور مستحکم ہوتی ہے۔
