34. Here, 'promise' signifies that promise about which a decision had been taken, which is called QAZA-E-MUBRAM the unalterable irrevocable fate. Regarding it, Allah Almighty says: "When their turn will come, they cannot remain behind a single hour, nor can they go ahead of it" (S16:V61).
However, changes can take place in QAZA-E-MUALLAQ the suspended fate. Death, which has come can be postponed and ages can increase. Regarding it, Allah Almighty has said: "Allah wipes out what He pleases and establishes what He pleases and the real writing is with Him" (S13:V39).
The devil had said: O my Lord! Give me time till the Day when they are being raised (S15:V36).
To this Allah Almighty replied: "You are among those who is given time" (S15:V37). Every verse is true.
