of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Hence, they acted upon these instructions and Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ freed them from this calamity. Moreover, the story of Asaaf and Naila is very famous. They committed fornication, and Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ deformed their faces and turned them into stone. So do not be deceived with the fact that a certain individual is still physically safe and sound despite committing disobedience and he doesn’t get punished quickly. It is not appropriate for a wise person to boast upon his Nafs. The one who boasts upon his Nafs is not a good person, even if he remains safe and sound. Because it is absolutely possible that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ decides for you to be punished quickly, and not the others. Because there is no one to stop Him from the fact that at times, something severely evil and wicked gets punished quickly. For example, deformation of heart, deprivation from presenting oneself in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, misguidance after being guided and deviating away from the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ after being submissive in His court.
