دو فلسفه برای تأخیر مجازات الهی

در این یه برای تأخیر مجازات الهی دو علت بیان شده است: علت نخست.ء امتحان و آزمایش است. خدا هرگز در عذاب عجله نمی‌کند تا خلق را به حد کفایت آزمایش کند تا اتمام حجت شود. علت دوم مهلت است. افرادی که آزمایش آنها تمام شده و مجازاتشان قطعی گردیده است. برای این که کیفرشان سخت‌تر شود خداوند نعمت را بر آنها بیشتر می‌کند تا کاملاً غرق نعمت شوند. آنگاه درست در همان حال که سخت در لذایذ غوطه‌ورندء تازیانة عذاب را بر آنها می‌کوبد تا دردناک‌تر باشد و رنج محرومان و ستمدیدگان را به خوبی احساس کنند. > **پانوشت صفحه (منابع):** > ۱- المیزان» ج۰۱۴ ص ۳۲۹ ۲- نمونهء چ۱۳ ص ۵۱۲ ۳ المیزان» ج۰۱۴ ص ۳۳۱ > ۴ نمونهء چ۸۱۳ ص ۵۳۰ > ۲ نمونه چ۰۱۳ ص ۵۱۲ > ۳ المیزان» ج۰۱۴ ص ۳۳۱ > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): Tafsīr Nemūneh, al-Mīzān.
