You will see that there are Muslims scholars who have written so many books and have done so many good deeds that some times we wonder, how did he/she get time to do so much in such a small time? The answer is in verses 5-7 of Surah Al-Lail, Allah makes it easy for them and put His barakah in anything they do. It is easy for some people to pray all five prayers in the mosque. Praying tahajud, Ishraq and all obligatory prayers including the sunnah is very easy for some of us and for others it is really hard. That's how we can tell how much close we are to Allah. If doing good deeds is easy for us then we should know that we are on the right track.
On the other hand there are people who are created only for hell fire. Allah makes it easy for them to do bad things. Allah makes bad things easy for them by not punishing sometimes and putting attraction in the bad things for them. It is said the Pharaoh at the time of Moses PBUH lived for more than 400 years and he never got sick. This made him think that he is god and that's how Allah made disbelief easy for him.
If people are not being punished in this world then it is also by Mercy of Allah. But this does not mean that wrongdoers can avoid the punishment of Allah, they surely will taste the punishment of Allah.
Allah says in Quran:
I think personally it can be difficult to wait for their appointment in the hereafter... while the wrongdoers do substantial damage now. Lives may be at risk. We've had our car burnt, windows smashed, lies spread about my family even they know they are lying, it's obvious they are covering their tracks and evading blame.
I'm sure I'm paying for my sins right now based on calamity after calamity, maybe there wont be a appointment for us, who knows.
It does cross my mind often to commit sin to respond in a language they may understand.. I'm afraid Il be way out of my depth and i wont be within the barriers of our law.
What kind of world do we live in, Ya Allah please help us!
