Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

How can You feel Secure against the Punishment of Allah while He is Able to seize You however He wilThis is another indication of His gentleness and His mercy with His creatures. He is able to punish them because some of them disbelieve in Him and worship others besides Him, yet He is forbearing, He pardons, and He gives respite for an appointed time without hastening.
