The Law of Respite and Gradualness:
The way of Allah is that He first sends small afflictions and hardships upon the criminal people as a form of admonition and warning. If the people take heed from them, then good; otherwise, He tests them in another way, that is, a period of prosperity and ease comes upon them, in which they become so absorbed and engrossed that they do not even remember the previous hardships, and they begin to think that Allah is being kind to them, whereas Allah is only granting them respite so that they may reach the limit they desire, and then suddenly He confronts them with their end. At that time, no power can save people from the punishment of Allah.
