The World is the Abode of Action, Not the Abode of Recompense. Otherwise, No Living Creature Would Remain Alive on Earth:
Other than humans and jinn, no other living creature is obligated by the Shariah, nor can it be disobedient to Allah, nor is it possible for it to be so. The real criminal is the human being. However, due to his punishment, other innocent creatures also suffer, just as the weevil is ground along with the wheat. For example, if Allah Almighty withholds rain as a consequence of the crimes of humans, then other living creatures also, due to the scarcity of water, suffer and die in agony. Similarly, if a flood or an earthquake occurs, the living beings in the affected area are also impacted and die. Only Allah knows what wisdom lies in not immediately seizing the criminal humans and granting them respite. It is possible that, due to the cries of those voiceless animals, He does not send punishment upon the criminals. In any case, this respite is only until an appointed time. Individually, this respite is until the time of each person's death. Collectively, it is until the time of Allah's punishment upon a nation or the Day of Judgment. After this appointed time comes the time of reckoning. No criminal will be able to hide from it nor escape it. And this reckoning will be based on truth and justice, because He Himself is watching every single deed and every single movement of His servants.
