11:104
وَ مَا نُؤَخِّرُ هُۥٓ إِلَّا لِ أَجَلٍ مَّعْدُودٍ
And We do not delay it except for a limited term.
11:8
وَ لَ ئِنْ أَخَّرْ نَا عَنْ هُمُ ٱلْ عَذَابَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٍ مَّعْدُودَةٍ لَّ يَقُولُ نَّ مَا يَحْبِسُ هُۥٓ أَلَا يَوْمَ يَأْتِي هِمْ لَيْسَ مَصْرُوفًا عَنْ هُمْ وَ حَاقَ بِ هِم مَّا كَانُ وا۟ بِ هِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُ ونَ
And if We hold back from them the punishment for a limited time, they will surely say, "What detains it?" Unquestionably, on the Day it comes to them, it will not be averted from them, and they will be enveloped by what they used to ridicule.
14:10
قَالَتْ رُسُلُ هُمْ أَ فِى ٱللَّهِ شَكٌّ فَاطِرِ ٱل سَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلْ أَرْضِ يَدْعُو كُمْ لِ يَغْفِرَ لَ كُم مِّن ذُنُوبِ كُمْ وَ يُؤَخِّرَ كُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى قَالُ وٓا۟ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُ نَا تُرِيدُ ونَ أَن تَصُدُّ و نَا عَ مَّا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُ نَا فَ أْتُ و نَا بِ سُلْطَٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ
Their messengers said, "Can there be doubt about Allah, Creator of the heavens and earth? He invites you that He may forgive you of your sins, and He delays your death for a specified term." They said, "You are not but men like us who wish to avert us from what our fathers were worshipping. So bring us a clear authority."
14:42
وَ لَا تَحْسَبَ نَّ ٱللَّهَ غَٰفِلًا عَ مَّا يَعْمَلُ ٱل ظَّٰلِمُونَ إِنَّ مَا يُؤَخِّرُ هُمْ لِ يَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِي هِ ٱلْ أَبْصَٰرُ
And never think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them for a Day when eyes will stare [in horror].
14:44
وَ أَنذِرِ ٱل نَّاسَ يَوْمَ يَأْتِي هِمُ ٱلْ عَذَابُ فَ يَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُ وا۟ رَبَّ نَآ أَخِّرْ نَآ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ قَرِيبٍ نُّجِبْ دَعْوَتَ كَ وَ نَتَّبِعِ ٱل رُّسُلَ أَ وَ لَمْ تَكُونُ وٓا۟ أَقْسَمْ تُم مِّن قَبْلُ مَا لَ كُم مِّن زَوَالٍ
And, [O Muhammad], warn the people of a Day when the punishment will come to them and those who did wrong will say, "Our Lord, delay us for a short term; we will answer Your call and follow the messengers." [But it will be said], "Had you not sworn, before, that for you there would be no cessation?
16:61
وَ لَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ ٱللَّهُ ٱل نَّاسَ بِ ظُلْمِ هِم مَّا تَرَكَ عَلَيْ هَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ وَ لَٰكِن يُؤَخِّرُ هُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى فَ إِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُ هُمْ لَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُ ونَ سَاعَةً وَ لَا يَسْتَقْدِمُ ونَ
And if Allah were to impose blame on the people for their wrongdoing, He would not have left upon the earth any creature, but He defers them for a specified term. And when their term has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].
17:62
قَالَ أَ رَءَيْ تَ كَ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كَرَّمْ تَ عَلَىَّ لَ ئِنْ أَخَّرْ تَ نِ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْ قِيَٰمَةِ لَ أَحْتَنِكَ نَّ ذُرِّيَّتَ هُۥٓ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا
[Iblees] said, "Do You see this one whom You have honored above me? If You delay me until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely destroy his descendants, except for a few."
35:45
وَ لَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ ٱللَّهُ ٱل نَّاسَ بِ مَا كَسَبُ وا۟ مَا تَرَكَ عَلَىٰ ظَهْرِ هَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ وَ لَٰكِن يُؤَخِّرُ هُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى فَ إِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُ هُمْ فَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِ عِبَادِ هِۦ بَصِيرًۢا
And if Allah were to impose blame on the people for what they have earned, He would not leave upon the earth any creature. But He defers them for a specified term. And when their time comes, then indeed Allah has ever been, of His servants, Seeing.
4:77
أَ لَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ قِيلَ لَ هُمْ كُفُّ وٓا۟ أَيْدِيَ كُمْ وَ أَقِيمُ وا۟ ٱل صَّلَوٰةَ وَ ءَاتُ وا۟ ٱل زَّكَوٰةَ فَ لَمَّا كُتِبَ عَلَيْ هِمُ ٱلْ قِتَالُ إِذَا فَرِيقٌ مِّنْ هُمْ يَخْشَ وْنَ ٱل نَّاسَ كَ خَشْيَةِ ٱللَّهِ أَوْ أَشَدَّ خَشْيَةً وَ قَالُ وا۟ رَبَّ نَا لِ مَ كَتَبْ تَ عَلَيْ نَا ٱلْ قِتَالَ لَوْلَآ أَخَّرْ تَ نَآ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ قَرِيبٍ قُلْ مَتَٰعُ ٱل دُّنْيَا قَلِيلٌ وَ ٱلْ ءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لِّ مَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰ وَ لَا تُظْلَمُ ونَ فَتِيلًا
Have you not seen those who were told, "Restrain your hands [from fighting] and establish prayer and give zakah"? But then when fighting was ordained for them, at once a party of them feared men as they fear Allah or with [even] greater fear. They said, "Our Lord, why have You decreed upon us fighting? If only You had postponed [it for] us for a short time." Say, The enjoyment of this world is little, and the Hereafter is better for he who fears Allah. And injustice will not be done to you, [even] as much as a thread [inside a date seed]."
63:10
وَ أَنفِقُ وا۟ مِن مَّا رَزَقْ نَٰ كُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِىَ أَحَدَ كُمُ ٱلْ مَوْتُ فَ يَقُولَ رَبِّ لَوْلَآ أَخَّرْ تَ نِىٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ قَرِيبٍ فَ أَصَّدَّقَ وَ أَكُن مِّنَ ٱل صَّٰلِحِينَ
And spend [in the way of Allah] from what We have provided you before death approaches one of you and he says, "My Lord, if only You would delay me for a brief term so I would give charity and be among the righteous."
63:11
وَ لَن يُؤَخِّرَ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُ هَا وَ ٱللَّهُ خَبِيرٌۢ بِ مَا تَعْمَلُ ونَ
But never will Allah delay a soul when its time has come. And Allah is Acquainted with what you do.
71:4
يَغْفِرْ لَ كُم مِّن ذُنُوبِ كُمْ وَ يُؤَخِّرْ كُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى إِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا جَآءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ لَوْ كُن تُمْ تَعْلَمُ ونَ
Allah will forgive you of your sins and delay you for a specified term. Indeed, the time [set by] Allah, when it comes, will not be delayed, if you only knew.' "
75:13
يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْ إِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِ مَا قَدَّمَ وَ أَخَّرَ
Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead and kept back.
82:5
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَ أَخَّرَتْ
A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.
