The thing is I give you this example because Allah doesn't punish right away

People do all kinds of horrible acts against God they do injustices towards one another

Injustices that he warns you shouldn't do that have dire consequences. The only problem is you don't see those consequences

I used to often give the example of back in the day some ancient times where a man has a slave and

This slave he tells him you can do whatever you want inside of this field

But I've drawn a line don't go and don't step foot on the other side of the line

And saves us fine. I mean I'm at least free within this acreage

So this slave is doing his thing and one day he trips and guess where he falls

Over the line the moment he falls over the line. Where does he look?

His eyes go straight to the master sitting in the distance

Is am I in trouble and the master doesn't even get up doesn't budge and

He comes and apologizes and the master says it's okay. It was a mistake and

He kind of he's shocked that he wasn't in the kind of trouble that he thought he'd get into so the next day

He's just kind of walking along the edge of the line and pretends to fall and

No consequences

And so he gets into the habit of not only pretend falling and now one day he's just walking one foot on this side one foot on the other side and

The master is just sitting there on his rocking chair. No reaction

until eventually the slave is

Always on the other side

He's just out

Years go by one day the master calls him and says hey, so you remember like seven years ago
