Sura 10: Jonah (Younus) ( سورة يونس )
بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحيمِ
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
١:الر تِلكَ ءايٰتُ الكِتٰبِ الحَكيمِ
[10:1] A. L. R.* These (letters) are the proofs of this book of wisdom.
Footnote*10:1 These letters constitute a major portion of the Quran’s awesome mathematical code and proof of divine authorship. See Appendix 1 for details.
٢:أَكانَ لِلنّاسِ عَجَبًا أَن أَوحَينا إِلىٰ رَجُلٍ مِنهُم أَن أَنذِرِ النّاسَ وَبَشِّرِ الَّذينَ ءامَنوا أَنَّ لَهُم قَدَمَ صِدقٍ عِندَ رَبِّهِم قالَ الكٰفِرونَ إِنَّ هٰذا لَسٰحِرٌ مُبينٌ
[10:2] Is it too much of a wonder for the people that we inspired a man like them? He (was inspired to say), “You shall warn the people, and give good news to those who believe that they have attained a position of prominence at their Lord.” The disbelievers said, “This is a clever magician!”
٣:إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللَّهُ الَّذى خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضَ فى سِتَّةِ أَيّامٍ ثُمَّ استَوىٰ عَلَى العَرشِ يُدَبِّرُ الأَمرَ ما مِن شَفيعٍ إِلّا مِن بَعدِ إِذنِهِ ذٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُم فَاعبُدوهُ أَفَلا تَذَكَّرونَ
[10:3] Your only Lord is GOD; the One who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then assumed all authority. He controls all matters. There is no intercessor, except in accordance with His will. Such is GOD your Lord. You shall worship Him. Would you not take heed?
٤:إِلَيهِ مَرجِعُكُم جَميعًا وَعدَ اللَّهِ حَقًّا إِنَّهُ يَبدَؤُا۟ الخَلقَ ثُمَّ يُعيدُهُ لِيَجزِىَ الَّذينَ ءامَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ بِالقِسطِ وَالَّذينَ كَفَروا لَهُم شَرابٌ مِن حَميمٍ وَعَذابٌ أَليمٌ بِما كانوا يَكفُرونَ
[10:4] To Him is your ultimate return, all of you. This is GOD‘s truthful promise. He initiates the creation, then repeats it, in order to reward those who believe and lead a righteous life, equitably. As for those who disbelieve, they incur hellish drinks, and a painful retribution for their disbelieving.
٥:هُوَ الَّذى جَعَلَ الشَّمسَ ضِياءً وَالقَمَرَ نورًا وَقَدَّرَهُ مَنازِلَ لِتَعلَموا عَدَدَ السِّنينَ وَالحِسابَ ما خَلَقَ اللَّهُ ذٰلِكَ إِلّا بِالحَقِّ يُفَصِّلُ الـٔايٰتِ لِقَومٍ يَعلَمونَ
[10:5] He is the One who rendered the sun radiant, and the moon a light, and He designed its phases that you may learn to count the years and to calculate. GOD did not create all this, except for a specific purpose. He explains the revelations for people who know.
٦:إِنَّ فِى اختِلٰفِ الَّيلِ وَالنَّهارِ وَما خَلَقَ اللَّهُ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضِ لَـٔايٰتٍ لِقَومٍ يَتَّقونَ
[10:6] Surely, in the alternation of night and day, and what GOD created in the heavens and the earth, there are proofs for people who are righteous.
٧:إِنَّ الَّذينَ لا يَرجونَ لِقاءَنا وَرَضوا بِالحَيوٰةِ الدُّنيا وَاطمَأَنّوا بِها وَالَّذينَ هُم عَن ءايٰتِنا غٰفِلونَ
Preoccupation With This World
[10:7] Those who are not expecting to meet us, and are preoccupied with this worldly life and are content with it, and refuse to heed our proofs;
٨:أُولٰئِكَ مَأوىٰهُمُ النّارُ بِما كانوا يَكسِبونَ
[10:8] these have incurred Hell as their ultimate abode, as a consequence of their own works.
٩:إِنَّ الَّذينَ ءامَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ يَهديهِم رَبُّهُم بِإيمٰنِهِم تَجرى مِن تَحتِهِمُ الأَنهٰرُ فى جَنّٰتِ النَّعيمِ
God Guides the Believers
[10:9] As for those who believe and lead a righteous life, their Lord guides them, by virtue of their belief. Rivers will flow beneath them in the gardens of bliss.
١٠:دَعوىٰهُم فيها سُبحٰنَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَتَحِيَّتُهُم فيها سَلٰمٌ وَءاخِرُ دَعوىٰهُم أَنِ الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العٰلَمينَ
[10:10] Their prayer therein is: “Be You glorified, our god,” their greeting therein is, “Peace,” and their ultimate prayer is: “Praise be to GOD , Lord of the universe.”
١١:وَلَو يُعَجِّلُ اللَّهُ لِلنّاسِ الشَّرَّ استِعجالَهُم بِالخَيرِ لَقُضِىَ إِلَيهِم أَجَلُهُم فَنَذَرُ الَّذينَ لا يَرجونَ لِقاءَنا فى طُغيٰنِهِم يَعمَهونَ
[10:11] If GOD hastened the retribution incurred by the people, the way they demand provisions, they would have been annihilated long ago. However, we leave those who do not believe in meeting us in their transgressions, blundering.
١٢:وَإِذا مَسَّ الإِنسٰنَ الضُّرُّ دَعانا لِجَنبِهِ أَو قاعِدًا أَو قائِمًا فَلَمّا كَشَفنا عَنهُ ضُرَّهُ مَرَّ كَأَن لَم يَدعُنا إِلىٰ ضُرٍّ مَسَّهُ كَذٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِلمُسرِفينَ ما كانوا يَعمَلونَ
[10:12] When adversity touches the human being, he implores us while lying down, or sitting, or standing up. But as soon as we relieve his adversity, he goes on as if he never implored us to relieve any hardship! The works of the transgressors are thus adorned in their eyes.
١٣:وَلَقَد أَهلَكنَا القُرونَ مِن قَبلِكُم لَمّا ظَلَموا وَجاءَتهُم رُسُلُهُم بِالبَيِّنٰتِ وَما كانوا لِيُؤمِنوا كَذٰلِكَ نَجزِى القَومَ المُجرِمينَ
Lessons from the Past
[10:13] Many a generation we have annihilated before you when they transgressed. Their messengers went to them with clear proofs, but they refused to believe. We thus requite the guilty people.
١٤:ثُمَّ جَعَلنٰكُم خَلٰئِفَ فِى الأَرضِ مِن بَعدِهِم لِنَنظُرَ كَيفَ تَعمَلونَ
Now It Is Your Turn
[10:14] Then we made you inheritors of the earth after them, to see how you will do.
١٥:وَإِذا تُتلىٰ عَلَيهِم ءايٰتُنا بَيِّنٰتٍ قالَ الَّذينَ لا يَرجونَ لِقاءَنَا ائتِ بِقُرءانٍ غَيرِ هٰذا أَو بَدِّلهُ قُل ما يَكونُ لى أَن أُبَدِّلَهُ مِن تِلقائِ نَفسى إِن أَتَّبِعُ إِلّا ما يوحىٰ إِلَىَّ إِنّى أَخافُ إِن عَصَيتُ رَبّى عَذابَ يَومٍ عَظيمٍ
Every Letter Calculated and Divinely Designed
[10:15] When our revelations are recited to them, those who do not expect to meet us say, “Bring a Quran* other than this, or change it!” Say, “I cannot possibly change it on my own. I simply follow what is revealed to me. I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the retribution of an awesome day.”
Footnote*10:15 The word “Quran” is mentioned in the Quran 58 times, but since this verse refers to “another Quran,” it must be excluded; “This Quran” is mentioned in the Quran 57 times, 19×3.
١٦:قُل لَو شاءَ اللَّهُ ما تَلَوتُهُ عَلَيكُم وَلا أَدرىٰكُم بِهِ فَقَد لَبِثتُ فيكُم عُمُرًا مِن قَبلِهِ أَفَلا تَعقِلونَ
[10:16] Say, “Had GOD willed, I would not have recited it to you, nor would you have known anything about it. I have lived among you a whole life before this (and you have known me as a sane, truthful person). Do you not understand?”
١٧:فَمَن أَظلَمُ مِمَّنِ افتَرىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَو كَذَّبَ بِـٔايٰتِهِ إِنَّهُ لا يُفلِحُ المُجرِمونَ
[10:17] Who is more evil than one who fabricates lies about GOD , or rejects His revelations. Certainly, the transgressors never succeed.
١٨:وَيَعبُدونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ما لا يَضُرُّهُم وَلا يَنفَعُهُم وَيَقولونَ هٰؤُلاءِ شُفَعٰؤُنا عِندَ اللَّهِ قُل أَتُنَبِّـٔونَ اللَّهَ بِما لا يَعلَمُ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَلا فِى الأَرضِ سُبحٰنَهُ وَتَعٰلىٰ عَمّا يُشرِكونَ
[10:18] They worship beside GOD idols that possess no power to harm them or benefit them, and they say, “These are our intercessors at GOD !” Say, “Are you informing GOD of something He does not know in the heavens or the earth?” Be He glorified. He is the Most High; far above needing partners.
١٩:وَما كانَ النّاسُ إِلّا أُمَّةً وٰحِدَةً فَاختَلَفوا وَلَولا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَت مِن رَبِّكَ لَقُضِىَ بَينَهُم فيما فيهِ يَختَلِفونَ
[10:19] The people used to be one congregation, then they disputed. If it were not for a predetermined word from your Lord, they would have been judged immediately regarding their disputes.
٢٠:وَيَقولونَ لَولا أُنزِلَ عَلَيهِ ءايَةٌ مِن رَبِّهِ فَقُل إِنَّمَا الغَيبُ لِلَّهِ فَانتَظِروا إِنّى مَعَكُم مِنَ المُنتَظِرينَ
Miracle of the Quran to be Unveiled After Muhammad*
[10:20] They say, “How come no miracle came down to him from his Lord?” Say, “The future belongs to GOD ; so wait, and I am waiting along with you.”
Footnote*10:20 In retrospect, we see now that the Quran’s miracle, indeed “One of the greatest miracles” (74:30-35), was divinely predestined to be unveiled 14 centuries after Muhammad. In view of the current condition of the traditional Muslims, if Muhammad had been given this miracle, those Muslims, who are already idolizing Muhammad beside God, would have worshiped him as God incarnate. Additionally, this miracle is obviously designed for the computer age, and to be appreciated by mathematically sophisticated generations.
٢١:وَإِذا أَذَقنَا النّاسَ رَحمَةً مِن بَعدِ ضَرّاءَ مَسَّتهُم إِذا لَهُم مَكرٌ فى ءايٰتِنا قُلِ اللَّهُ أَسرَعُ مَكرًا إِنَّ رُسُلَنا يَكتُبونَ ما تَمكُرونَ
Rebellious Humans
[10:21] When we bestow mercy upon the people, after adversity had afflicted them, they immediately scheme against our revelations! Say, “GOD‘s scheming is far more effective. For our messengers are recording everything you scheme.”
٢٢:هُوَ الَّذى يُسَيِّرُكُم فِى البَرِّ وَالبَحرِ حَتّىٰ إِذا كُنتُم فِى الفُلكِ وَجَرَينَ بِهِم بِريحٍ طَيِّبَةٍ وَفَرِحوا بِها جاءَتها ريحٌ عاصِفٌ وَجاءَهُمُ المَوجُ مِن كُلِّ مَكانٍ وَظَنّوا أَنَّهُم أُحيطَ بِهِم دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخلِصينَ لَهُ الدّينَ لَئِن أَنجَيتَنا مِن هٰذِهِ لَنَكونَنَّ مِنَ الشّٰكِرينَ
[10:22] He is the One who moves you across the land and sea. You get onto the ships, and they sail smoothly in nice breeze. Then, while rejoicing therein, violent wind blows, and the waves surround them from every side. This is when they implore GOD , sincerely devoting their prayers to Him alone: “If You only save us this time, we will be eternally appreciative.”
٢٣:فَلَمّا أَنجىٰهُم إِذا هُم يَبغونَ فِى الأَرضِ بِغَيرِ الحَقِّ يٰأَيُّهَا النّاسُ إِنَّما بَغيُكُم عَلىٰ أَنفُسِكُم مَتٰعَ الحَيوٰةِ الدُّنيا ثُمَّ إِلَينا مَرجِعُكُم فَنُنَبِّئُكُم بِما كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ
[10:23] But as soon as He saves them, they transgress on earth, and oppose the truth. O people, your transgression is only to the detriment of your own souls. You remain preoccupied with this worldly life, then to us is your ultimate return, then we inform you of everything you had done.
٢٤:إِنَّما مَثَلُ الحَيوٰةِ الدُّنيا كَماءٍ أَنزَلنٰهُ مِنَ السَّماءِ فَاختَلَطَ بِهِ نَباتُ الأَرضِ مِمّا يَأكُلُ النّاسُ وَالأَنعٰمُ حَتّىٰ إِذا أَخَذَتِ الأَرضُ زُخرُفَها وَازَّيَّنَت وَظَنَّ أَهلُها أَنَّهُم قٰدِرونَ عَلَيها أَتىٰها أَمرُنا لَيلًا أَو نَهارًا فَجَعَلنٰها حَصيدًا كَأَن لَم تَغنَ بِالأَمسِ كَذٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الـٔايٰتِ لِقَومٍ يَتَفَكَّرونَ
[10:24] The analogy of this worldly life is like this: we send down water from the sky to produce with it all kinds of plants from the earth, and to provide food for the people and the animals. Then, just as the earth is perfectly adorned, and its people think that they are in control thereof, our judgment comes by night or by day,* leaving it completely barren, as if nothing existed the previous day. We thus explain the revelations for people who reflect.
Footnote*10:24 God, of course, knows whether His judgment will come during the day, or during the night. But it just happens that the earth will be half day and half night when the end of the world comes. Another “scientific miracle” of the Quran.
٢٥:وَاللَّهُ يَدعوا إِلىٰ دارِ السَّلٰمِ وَيَهدى مَن يَشاءُ إِلىٰ صِرٰطٍ مُستَقيمٍ
[10:25] GOD invites to the abode of peace, and guides whomever He wills in a straight path.
٢٦:لِلَّذينَ أَحسَنُوا الحُسنىٰ وَزِيادَةٌ وَلا يَرهَقُ وُجوهَهُم قَتَرٌ وَلا ذِلَّةٌ أُولٰئِكَ أَصحٰبُ الجَنَّةِ هُم فيها خٰلِدونَ
Heaven and Hell are Eternal
[10:26] For the righteous, the reward will be multiplied manifold. Their faces will never experience any deprivation or shame. These are the dwellers of Paradise; they abide therein forever.
٢٧:وَالَّذينَ كَسَبُوا السَّيِّـٔاتِ جَزاءُ سَيِّئَةٍ بِمِثلِها وَتَرهَقُهُم ذِلَّةٌ ما لَهُم مِنَ اللَّهِ مِن عاصِمٍ كَأَنَّما أُغشِيَت وُجوهُهُم قِطَعًا مِنَ الَّيلِ مُظلِمًا أُولٰئِكَ أَصحٰبُ النّارِ هُم فيها خٰلِدونَ
[10:27] As for those who earned sins, their requital is equivalent to their sin. Humiliation is their lot, and no one beside GOD can protect them. Their faces will seem overwhelmed by masses of dark night. They will be the dwellers of Hell; they abide therein forever.
٢٨:وَيَومَ نَحشُرُهُم جَميعًا ثُمَّ نَقولُ لِلَّذينَ أَشرَكوا مَكانَكُم أَنتُم وَشُرَكاؤُكُم فَزَيَّلنا بَينَهُم وَقالَ شُرَكاؤُهُم ما كُنتُم إِيّانا تَعبُدونَ
Idols Disown Their Worshipers
[10:28] On the day when we summon them all, we will say to those who worshiped idols, “We have summoned you, together with your idols.” We will have them confront each other, and their idols will say to them, “We had no idea that you idolized us.
٢٩:فَكَفىٰ بِاللَّهِ شَهيدًا بَينَنا وَبَينَكُم إِن كُنّا عَن عِبادَتِكُم لَغٰفِلينَ
[10:29] “GOD suffices as a witness between us and you, that we were completely unaware of your worshiping us.”
٣٠:هُنالِكَ تَبلوا كُلُّ نَفسٍ ما أَسلَفَت وَرُدّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ مَولىٰهُمُ الحَقِّ وَضَلَّ عَنهُم ما كانوا يَفتَرونَ
[10:30] That is when each soul will examine everything it had done. They will be returned to GOD , their rightful Lord and Master, and the idols they had fabricated will disown them.
٣١:قُل مَن يَرزُقُكُم مِنَ السَّماءِ وَالأَرضِ أَمَّن يَملِكُ السَّمعَ وَالأَبصٰرَ وَمَن يُخرِجُ الحَىَّ مِنَ المَيِّتِ وَيُخرِجُ المَيِّتَ مِنَ الحَىِّ وَمَن يُدَبِّرُ الأَمرَ فَسَيَقولونَ اللَّهُ فَقُل أَفَلا تَتَّقونَ
[10:31] Say, “Who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? Who controls all the hearing and the eyesight? Who produces the living from the dead, and the dead from the living? Who is in control of all things?” They would say, “GOD .” Say, “Why then do you not observe the commandments?”
٣٢:فَذٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمُ الحَقُّ فَماذا بَعدَ الحَقِّ إِلَّا الضَّلٰلُ فَأَنّىٰ تُصرَفونَ
[10:32] Such is GOD , your rightful Lord. What is there after the truth, except falsehood? How could you disregard all this?
٣٣:كَذٰلِكَ حَقَّت كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى الَّذينَ فَسَقوا أَنَّهُم لا يُؤمِنونَ
[10:33] This is what your Lord’s decision does to those who choose to be wicked: they cannot believe.
٣٤:قُل هَل مِن شُرَكائِكُم مَن يَبدَؤُا۟ الخَلقَ ثُمَّ يُعيدُهُ قُلِ اللَّهُ يَبدَؤُا۟ الخَلقَ ثُمَّ يُعيدُهُ فَأَنّىٰ تُؤفَكونَ
Reflect on Your Idols
[10:34] Say, “Can any of your idols initiate creation, then repeat it?” Say, “GOD initiates the creation, then repeats it.”
٣٥:قُل هَل مِن شُرَكائِكُم مَن يَهدى إِلَى الحَقِّ قُلِ اللَّهُ يَهدى لِلحَقِّ أَفَمَن يَهدى إِلَى الحَقِّ أَحَقُّ أَن يُتَّبَعَ أَمَّن لا يَهِدّى إِلّا أَن يُهدىٰ فَما لَكُم كَيفَ تَحكُمونَ
[10:35] Say, “Does any of your idols guide to the truth?” Say, “GOD guides to the truth. Is one who guides to the truth more worthy of being followed, or one who does not guide, and needs guidance for himself? What is wrong with your judgment?”
٣٦:وَما يَتَّبِعُ أَكثَرُهُم إِلّا ظَنًّا إِنَّ الظَّنَّ لا يُغنى مِنَ الحَقِّ شَيـًٔا إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَليمٌ بِما يَفعَلونَ
[10:36] Most of them follow nothing but conjecture, and conjecture is no substitute for the truth. GOD is fully aware of everything they do.
٣٧:وَما كانَ هٰذَا القُرءانُ أَن يُفتَرىٰ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ وَلٰكِن تَصديقَ الَّذى بَينَ يَدَيهِ وَتَفصيلَ الكِتٰبِ لا رَيبَ فيهِ مِن رَبِّ العٰلَمينَ
Only God Can Author the Quran
[10:37] This Quran could not possibly be authored by other than GOD . It confirms all previous messages, and provides a fully detailed scripture. It is infallible; for it comes from the Lord of the universe.
٣٨:أَم يَقولونَ افتَرىٰهُ قُل فَأتوا بِسورَةٍ مِثلِهِ وَادعوا مَنِ استَطَعتُم مِن دونِ اللَّهِ إِن كُنتُم صٰدِقينَ
[10:38] If they say, “He fabricated it,” say, “Then produce one sura like these, and invite whomever you wish, other than GOD , if you are truthful.”
٣٩:بَل كَذَّبوا بِما لَم يُحيطوا بِعِلمِهِ وَلَمّا يَأتِهِم تَأويلُهُ كَذٰلِكَ كَذَّبَ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم فَانظُر كَيفَ كانَ عٰقِبَةُ الظّٰلِمينَ
[10:39] Indeed, they have rejected this without studying and examining it, and before understanding it. Thus did those before them disbelieve. Therefore, note the consequences for the transgressors.
٤٠:وَمِنهُم مَن يُؤمِنُ بِهِ وَمِنهُم مَن لا يُؤمِنُ بِهِ وَرَبُّكَ أَعلَمُ بِالمُفسِدينَ
[10:40] Some of them believe (in this scripture), while others disbelieve in it. Your Lord is fully aware of the evildoers.
٤١:وَإِن كَذَّبوكَ فَقُل لى عَمَلى وَلَكُم عَمَلُكُم أَنتُم بَريـٔونَ مِمّا أَعمَلُ وَأَنا۠ بَرىءٌ مِمّا تَعمَلونَ
[10:41] If they reject you, then say, “I have my works, and you have your works. You are innocent of anything I do, and I am innocent of anything you do.”
٤٢:وَمِنهُم مَن يَستَمِعونَ إِلَيكَ أَفَأَنتَ تُسمِعُ الصُّمَّ وَلَو كانوا لا يَعقِلونَ
[10:42] Some of them listen to you, but can you make the deaf hear, even though they cannot understand?
٤٣:وَمِنهُم مَن يَنظُرُ إِلَيكَ أَفَأَنتَ تَهدِى العُمىَ وَلَو كانوا لا يُبصِرونَ
Humans Freely Choose Their Paths
[10:43] Some of them look at you, but can you guide the blind, even though they do not see?
٤٤:إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَظلِمُ النّاسَ شَيـًٔا وَلٰكِنَّ النّاسَ أَنفُسَهُم يَظلِمونَ
[10:44] GOD never wrongs the people; it is the people who wrong their own souls.
٤٥:وَيَومَ يَحشُرُهُم كَأَن لَم يَلبَثوا إِلّا ساعَةً مِنَ النَّهارِ يَتَعارَفونَ بَينَهُم قَد خَسِرَ الَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِلِقاءِ اللَّهِ وَما كانوا مُهتَدينَ
[10:45] On the day when He summons all of them, they will feel as if they lasted in this world one hour of the day, during which they met. Losers indeed are those who disbelieved in meeting GOD ; and chose to be misguided.
٤٦:وَإِمّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعضَ الَّذى نَعِدُهُم أَو نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَينا مَرجِعُهُم ثُمَّ اللَّهُ شَهيدٌ عَلىٰ ما يَفعَلونَ
[10:46] Whether we show you some (of the retribution) we promise them, or terminate your life before that, to us is their ultimate return. GOD witnesses everything they do.
٤٧:وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَسولٌ فَإِذا جاءَ رَسولُهُم قُضِىَ بَينَهُم بِالقِسطِ وَهُم لا يُظلَمونَ
[10:47] To each community, a messenger. After their messenger comes, they are judged equitably, without the least injustice.
٤٨:وَيَقولونَ مَتىٰ هٰذَا الوَعدُ إِن كُنتُم صٰدِقينَ
[10:48] They challenge: “When will this prophecy come to pass, if you are telling the truth?”
٤٩:قُل لا أَملِكُ لِنَفسى ضَرًّا وَلا نَفعًا إِلّا ما شاءَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌ إِذا جاءَ أَجَلُهُم فَلا يَستَـٔخِرونَ ساعَةً وَلا يَستَقدِمونَ
The Messenger Possesses No Power
[10:49] Say, “I possess no power to harm myself, or benefit myself; only what GOD wills takes place.” Each community has a predetermined life span. Once their interim comes to an end, they cannot delay it by one hour, nor advance it.
٥٠:قُل أَرَءَيتُم إِن أَتىٰكُم عَذابُهُ بَيٰتًا أَو نَهارًا ماذا يَستَعجِلُ مِنهُ المُجرِمونَ
[10:50] Say, “Whether His retribution comes to you by night or by day, why are the transgressors in such a hurry?
٥١:أَثُمَّ إِذا ما وَقَعَ ءامَنتُم بِهِ ءالـٰٔنَ وَقَد كُنتُم بِهِ تَستَعجِلونَ
[10:51] “If it does happen, will you believe then? Why should you believe then? You used to challenge it to come?”
٥٢:ثُمَّ قيلَ لِلَّذينَ ظَلَموا ذوقوا عَذابَ الخُلدِ هَل تُجزَونَ إِلّا بِما كُنتُم تَكسِبونَ
[10:52] It will be said to the transgressors, “Taste the eternal retribution. Are you not requited precisely for what you have earned?”
٥٣:وَيَستَنبِـٔونَكَ أَحَقٌّ هُوَ قُل إى وَرَبّى إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ وَما أَنتُم بِمُعجِزينَ
[10:53] They challenge you to prophesy: “Is this really what will happen?” Say, “Yes indeed, by my Lord, this is the truth, and you can never escape.”
٥٤:وَلَو أَنَّ لِكُلِّ نَفسٍ ظَلَمَت ما فِى الأَرضِ لَافتَدَت بِهِ وَأَسَرُّوا النَّدامَةَ لَمّا رَأَوُا العَذابَ وَقُضِىَ بَينَهُم بِالقِسطِ وَهُم لا يُظلَمونَ
What Price Faith
[10:54] If any wicked soul possessed everything on earth, it would readily offer it as ransom. They will be ridden with remorse when they see the retribution. They will be judged equitably, without the least injustice.
٥٥:أَلا إِنَّ لِلَّهِ ما فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضِ أَلا إِنَّ وَعدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَلٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَهُم لا يَعلَمونَ
[10:55] Absolutely, to GOD belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. Absolutely, GOD‘s promise is truth, but most of them do not know.
٥٦:هُوَ يُحى ۦ وَيُميتُ وَإِلَيهِ تُرجَعونَ
[10:56] He controls life and death, and to Him you will be returned.
٥٧:يٰأَيُّهَا النّاسُ قَد جاءَتكُم مَوعِظَةٌ مِن رَبِّكُم وَشِفاءٌ لِما فِى الصُّدورِ وَهُدًى وَرَحمَةٌ لِلمُؤمِنينَ
[10:57] O people, enlightenment has come to you herein from your Lord, and healing for anything that troubles your hearts, and guidance, and mercy for the believers.
٥٨:قُل بِفَضلِ اللَّهِ وَبِرَحمَتِهِ فَبِذٰلِكَ فَليَفرَحوا هُوَ خَيرٌ مِمّا يَجمَعونَ
Joy for the Believers
[10:58] Say, “With GOD‘s grace and with His mercy they shall rejoice.” This is far better than any wealth they can accumulate.
٥٩:قُل أَرَءَيتُم ما أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ لَكُم مِن رِزقٍ فَجَعَلتُم مِنهُ حَرامًا وَحَلٰلًا قُل ءاللَّهُ أَذِنَ لَكُم أَم عَلَى اللَّهِ تَفتَرونَ
Human-made Dietary Prohibitions
[10:59] Say, “Did you note how GOD sends down to you all kinds of provisions, then you render some of them unlawful, and some lawful?” Say, “Did GOD give you permission to do this? Or, do you fabricate lies and attribute them to GOD ?”
٦٠:وَما ظَنُّ الَّذينَ يَفتَرونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الكَذِبَ يَومَ القِيٰمَةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَذو فَضلٍ عَلَى النّاسِ وَلٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَهُم لا يَشكُرونَ
[10:60] Does it ever occur to those who fabricate lies about GOD that they will have to face Him on the Day of Resurrection? Certainly, GOD showers the people with His grace, but most of them are unappreciative.
٦١:وَما تَكونُ فى شَأنٍ وَما تَتلوا مِنهُ مِن قُرءانٍ وَلا تَعمَلونَ مِن عَمَلٍ إِلّا كُنّا عَلَيكُم شُهودًا إِذ تُفيضونَ فيهِ وَما يَعزُبُ عَن رَبِّكَ مِن مِثقالِ ذَرَّةٍ فِى الأَرضِ وَلا فِى السَّماءِ وَلا أَصغَرَ مِن ذٰلِكَ وَلا أَكبَرَ إِلّا فى كِتٰبٍ مُبينٍ
Knowing God
[10:61] You do not get into any situation, nor do you recite any Quran, nor do you do anything, without us being witnesses thereof as you do it. Not even an atom’s weight is out of your Lord’s control, be it in the heavens or the earth. Nor is there anything smaller than an atom, or larger, that is not recorded in a profound record.
٦٢:أَلا إِنَّ أَولِياءَ اللَّهِ لا خَوفٌ عَلَيهِم وَلا هُم يَحزَنونَ
Happiness: Now and Forever*
[10:62] Absolutely, GOD‘s allies have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
Footnote*10:62-64 Most people think that they have to wait until the Day of Resurrection before they receive their rewards for righteousness, or the retribution for wickedness. But the Quran repeatedly assures the believers that they are guaranteed perfect happiness here in this world, now and forever. At the end of their interim here, they go directly to Paradise (see Appendix 17).
٦٣:الَّذينَ ءامَنوا وَكانوا يَتَّقونَ
[10:63] They are those who believe and lead a righteous life.
٦٤:لَهُمُ البُشرىٰ فِى الحَيوٰةِ الدُّنيا وَفِى الـٔاخِرَةِ لا تَبديلَ لِكَلِمٰتِ اللَّهِ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الفَوزُ العَظيمُ
[10:64] For them, joy and happiness in this world, as well as in the Hereafter. This is GOD‘s unchangeable law. Such is the greatest triumph.
٦٥:وَلا يَحزُنكَ قَولُهُم إِنَّ العِزَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَميعًا هُوَ السَّميعُ العَليمُ
[10:65] Do not be saddened by their utterances. All power belongs to GOD . He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.
٦٦:أَلا إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَن فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَن فِى الأَرضِ وَما يَتَّبِعُ الَّذينَ يَدعونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ شُرَكاءَ إِن يَتَّبِعونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَإِن هُم إِلّا يَخرُصونَ
[10:66] Absolutely, to GOD belongs everyone in the heavens and everyone on earth. Those who set up idols beside GOD are really following nothing. They only think that they are following something. They only guess.
٦٧:هُوَ الَّذى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الَّيلَ لِتَسكُنوا فيهِ وَالنَّهارَ مُبصِرًا إِنَّ فى ذٰلِكَ لَـٔايٰتٍ لِقَومٍ يَسمَعونَ
[10:67] He is the One who rendered the night for your rest, and rendered the day lighted. These are proofs for people who can hear.
٦٨:قالُوا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ وَلَدًا سُبحٰنَهُ هُوَ الغَنِىُّ لَهُ ما فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَما فِى الأَرضِ إِن عِندَكُم مِن سُلطٰنٍ بِهٰذا أَتَقولونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ ما لا تَعلَمونَ
The Gross Blasphemy
[10:68] They said, “GOD has begotten a son!” Be He glorified. He is the Most Rich. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. You have no proof to support such a blasphemy. Are you saying about GOD what you do not know?
٦٩:قُل إِنَّ الَّذينَ يَفتَرونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الكَذِبَ لا يُفلِحونَ
[10:69] Proclaim: “Those who fabricate lies about GOD will never succeed.”
٧٠:مَتٰعٌ فِى الدُّنيا ثُمَّ إِلَينا مَرجِعُهُم ثُمَّ نُذيقُهُمُ العَذابَ الشَّديدَ بِما كانوا يَكفُرونَ
[10:70] They get their temporary share in this world, then to us is their ultimate return, then we commit them to severe retribution for their disbelieving.
٧١:وَاتلُ عَلَيهِم نَبَأَ نوحٍ إِذ قالَ لِقَومِهِ يٰقَومِ إِن كانَ كَبُرَ عَلَيكُم مَقامى وَتَذكيرى بِـٔايٰتِ اللَّهِ فَعَلَى اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلتُ فَأَجمِعوا أَمرَكُم وَشُرَكاءَكُم ثُمَّ لا يَكُن أَمرُكُم عَلَيكُم غُمَّةً ثُمَّ اقضوا إِلَىَّ وَلا تُنظِرونِ
Noah
[10:71] Recite for them the history of Noah. He said to his people, “O my people, if you find my position and my reminding you of GOD‘s revelations too much for you, then I put my trust in GOD . You should get together with your leaders, agree on a final decision among yourselves, then let me know it without delay.
٧٢:فَإِن تَوَلَّيتُم فَما سَأَلتُكُم مِن أَجرٍ إِن أَجرِىَ إِلّا عَلَى اللَّهِ وَأُمِرتُ أَن أَكونَ مِنَ المُسلِمينَ
[10:72] “If you turn away, then I have not asked you for any wage. My wage comes from GOD . I have been commanded to be a submitter.”
٧٣:فَكَذَّبوهُ فَنَجَّينٰهُ وَمَن مَعَهُ فِى الفُلكِ وَجَعَلنٰهُم خَلٰئِفَ وَأَغرَقنَا الَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِـٔايٰتِنا فَانظُر كَيفَ كانَ عٰقِبَةُ المُنذَرينَ
[10:73] They rejected him and, consequently, we saved him and those who joined him in the ark; we made them the inheritors. And we drowned those who rejected our revelations. Note the consequences; they have been warned.
٧٤:ثُمَّ بَعَثنا مِن بَعدِهِ رُسُلًا إِلىٰ قَومِهِم فَجاءوهُم بِالبَيِّنٰتِ فَما كانوا لِيُؤمِنوا بِما كَذَّبوا بِهِ مِن قَبلُ كَذٰلِكَ نَطبَعُ عَلىٰ قُلوبِ المُعتَدينَ
Humans Insist on Their Original Sin
[10:74] Then we sent after him messengers to their people, and they showed them clear proofs. But they were not to believe in what they had rejected in the past. We thus seal the hearts of the transgressors.
٧٥:ثُمَّ بَعَثنا مِن بَعدِهِم موسىٰ وَهٰرونَ إِلىٰ فِرعَونَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِ بِـٔايٰتِنا فَاستَكبَروا وَكانوا قَومًا مُجرِمينَ
Moses and Aaron
[10:75] Then we sent after them Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh and his group, with our proofs. But they turned arrogant; and were transgressing people.
٧٦:فَلَمّا جاءَهُمُ الحَقُّ مِن عِندِنا قالوا إِنَّ هٰذا لَسِحرٌ مُبينٌ
[10:76] When the truth came to them from us, they said, “This is obviously magic!”
٧٧:قالَ موسىٰ أَتَقولونَ لِلحَقِّ لَمّا جاءَكُم أَسِحرٌ هٰذا وَلا يُفلِحُ السّٰحِرونَ
[10:77] Moses said, “Is this how you describe the truth when it comes to you? Is this magic? How can any magicians prevail?”
٧٨:قالوا أَجِئتَنا لِتَلفِتَنا عَمّا وَجَدنا عَلَيهِ ءاباءَنا وَتَكونَ لَكُمَا الكِبرِياءُ فِى الأَرضِ وَما نَحنُ لَكُما بِمُؤمِنينَ
[10:78] They said, “Did you come to divert us from what we found our parents doing, and to attain positions of prominence for yourselves? We will never join you as believers.”
٧٩:وَقالَ فِرعَونُ ائتونى بِكُلِّ سٰحِرٍ عَليمٍ
The Truth Prevails
[10:79] Pharaoh said, “Bring to me every experienced magician.”
٨٠:فَلَمّا جاءَ السَّحَرَةُ قالَ لَهُم موسىٰ أَلقوا ما أَنتُم مُلقونَ
[10:80] When the magicians came, Moses said to them, “Throw whatever you are going to throw.”
٨١:فَلَمّا أَلقَوا قالَ موسىٰ ما جِئتُم بِهِ السِّحرُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَيُبطِلُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُصلِحُ عَمَلَ المُفسِدينَ
[10:81] When they threw, Moses said, “What you have produced is magic, and GOD will make it fail. GOD does not support the transgressors’ work.”
٨٢:وَيُحِقُّ اللَّهُ الحَقَّ بِكَلِمٰتِهِ وَلَو كَرِهَ المُجرِمونَ
[10:82] GOD establishes the truth with His words, despite the criminals.
٨٣:فَما ءامَنَ لِموسىٰ إِلّا ذُرِّيَّةٌ مِن قَومِهِ عَلىٰ خَوفٍ مِن فِرعَونَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِم أَن يَفتِنَهُم وَإِنَّ فِرعَونَ لَعالٍ فِى الأَرضِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمِنَ المُسرِفينَ
[10:83] None believed with Moses except a few of his people, while fearing the tyranny of Pharaoh and his elders. Surely, Pharaoh was much too arrogant on earth, and a real tyrant.
٨٤:وَقالَ موسىٰ يٰقَومِ إِن كُنتُم ءامَنتُم بِاللَّهِ فَعَلَيهِ تَوَكَّلوا إِن كُنتُم مُسلِمينَ
[10:84] Moses said, “O my people, if you have really believed in GOD , then put your trust in Him, if you are really submitters.”
٨٥:فَقالوا عَلَى اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلنا رَبَّنا لا تَجعَلنا فِتنَةً لِلقَومِ الظّٰلِمينَ
[10:85] They said, “We trust in GOD . Our Lord, save us from the persecution of these oppressive people.
٨٦:وَنَجِّنا بِرَحمَتِكَ مِنَ القَومِ الكٰفِرينَ
[10:86] “Deliver us, with Your mercy, from the disbelieving people.”
٨٧:وَأَوحَينا إِلىٰ موسىٰ وَأَخيهِ أَن تَبَوَّءا لِقَومِكُما بِمِصرَ بُيوتًا وَاجعَلوا بُيوتَكُم قِبلَةً وَأَقيمُوا الصَّلوٰةَ وَبَشِّرِ المُؤمِنينَ
[10:87] We inspired Moses and his brother. “Maintain your homes in Egypt for the time being, turn your homes into synagogues, and maintain the Contact Prayers (Salat). Give good news to the believers.”
٨٨:وَقالَ موسىٰ رَبَّنا إِنَّكَ ءاتَيتَ فِرعَونَ وَمَلَأَهُ زينَةً وَأَموٰلًا فِى الحَيوٰةِ الدُّنيا رَبَّنا لِيُضِلّوا عَن سَبيلِكَ رَبَّنَا اطمِس عَلىٰ أَموٰلِهِم وَاشدُد عَلىٰ قُلوبِهِم فَلا يُؤمِنوا حَتّىٰ يَرَوُا العَذابَ الأَليمَ
[10:88] Moses said, “Our Lord, You have given Pharaoh and his elders luxuries and wealth in this world. Our Lord, they only use them to repulse others from Your path. Our Lord, wipe out their wealth, and harden their hearts to prevent them from believing, until they see the painful retribution.”
٨٩:قالَ قَد أُجيبَت دَعوَتُكُما فَاستَقيما وَلا تَتَّبِعانِّ سَبيلَ الَّذينَ لا يَعلَمونَ
[10:89] He said, “Your prayer has been answered (O Moses and Aaron), so be steadfast, and do not follow the ways of those who do not know.”
٩٠:وَجٰوَزنا بِبَنى إِسرٰءيلَ البَحرَ فَأَتبَعَهُم فِرعَونُ وَجُنودُهُ بَغيًا وَعَدوًا حَتّىٰ إِذا أَدرَكَهُ الغَرَقُ قالَ ءامَنتُ أَنَّهُ لا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا الَّذى ءامَنَت بِهِ بَنوا إِسرٰءيلَ وَأَنا۠ مِنَ المُسلِمينَ
[10:90] We delivered the Children of Israel across the sea. Pharaoh and his troops pursued them, aggressively and sinfully. When drowning became a reality for him, he said, “I believe that there is no god except the One in whom the Children of Israel have believed; I am a submitter.”
٩١:ءالـٰٔنَ وَقَد عَصَيتَ قَبلُ وَكُنتَ مِنَ المُفسِدينَ
[10:91] “Too late!* For you have rebelled already, and chose to be a transgressor.
Footnote*10:91 Believing in God is the first step. Thereafter, one needs to nourish and develop the soul through the practices of worship (see Appendix 15).
٩٢:فَاليَومَ نُنَجّيكَ بِبَدَنِكَ لِتَكونَ لِمَن خَلفَكَ ءايَةً وَإِنَّ كَثيرًا مِنَ النّاسِ عَن ءايٰتِنا لَغٰفِلونَ
Pharaoh's Body Preserved*
[10:92] “Today, we will preserve your body, to set you up as a lesson for future generations.”* Unfortunately, many people are totally oblivious to our signs.
Footnote*10:92 God endowed the Egyptians with the exclusive knowledge of mummification. Today, Pharaoh’s mummified body is on display at the Cairo Museum.
٩٣:وَلَقَد بَوَّأنا بَنى إِسرٰءيلَ مُبَوَّأَ صِدقٍ وَرَزَقنٰهُم مِنَ الطَّيِّبٰتِ فَمَا اختَلَفوا حَتّىٰ جاءَهُمُ العِلمُ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقضى بَينَهُم يَومَ القِيٰمَةِ فيما كانوا فيهِ يَختَلِفونَ
[10:93] We have endowed the Children of Israel with a position of honor, and blessed them with good provisions. Yet, they disputed when this knowledge came to them. Your Lord will judge them on the Day of Resurrection regarding everything they disputed.
٩٤:فَإِن كُنتَ فى شَكٍّ مِمّا أَنزَلنا إِلَيكَ فَسـَٔلِ الَّذينَ يَقرَءونَ الكِتٰبَ مِن قَبلِكَ لَقَد جاءَكَ الحَقُّ مِن رَبِّكَ فَلا تَكونَنَّ مِنَ المُمتَرينَ
The Messenger's Doubt
[10:94] If you have any doubt regarding what is revealed to you from your Lord, then ask those who read the previous scripture. Indeed, the truth has come to you from your Lord. Do not be with the doubters.
٩٥:وَلا تَكونَنَّ مِنَ الَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِـٔايٰتِ اللَّهِ فَتَكونَ مِنَ الخٰسِرينَ
[10:95] Nor shall you join those who rejected GOD‘s revelations, lest you be with the losers.
٩٦:إِنَّ الَّذينَ حَقَّت عَلَيهِم كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ لا يُؤمِنونَ
[10:96] Surely, those condemned by a decree from your Lord cannot believe.
٩٧:وَلَو جاءَتهُم كُلُّ ءايَةٍ حَتّىٰ يَرَوُا العَذابَ الأَليمَ
[10:97] No matter what kind of proof you show them, (they cannot believe), until they see the painful retribution.
٩٨:فَلَولا كانَت قَريَةٌ ءامَنَت فَنَفَعَها إيمٰنُها إِلّا قَومَ يونُسَ لَمّا ءامَنوا كَشَفنا عَنهُم عَذابَ الخِزىِ فِى الحَيوٰةِ الدُّنيا وَمَتَّعنٰهُم إِلىٰ حينٍ
Believing Nations Prosper
[10:98] Any community that believes will surely be rewarded for believing. For example, the people of Jonah: when they believed, we relieved the humiliating retribution they had been suffering in this world, and we made them prosperous.
٩٩:وَلَو شاءَ رَبُّكَ لَـٔامَنَ مَن فِى الأَرضِ كُلُّهُم جَميعًا أَفَأَنتَ تُكرِهُ النّاسَ حَتّىٰ يَكونوا مُؤمِنينَ
[10:99] Had your Lord willed, all the people on earth would have believed.* Do you want to force the people to become believers?
Footnote*10:99-101 The test demands that we denounce idolatry on our own, without divine intervention in our initial decision. God blocks out those who choose to disbelieve.
١٠٠:وَما كانَ لِنَفسٍ أَن تُؤمِنَ إِلّا بِإِذنِ اللَّهِ وَيَجعَلُ الرِّجسَ عَلَى الَّذينَ لا يَعقِلونَ
The Disbelievers Blocked Out*
[10:100] No soul can believe except in accordance with GOD‘s will. For He places a curse upon those who refuse to understand.
Footnote*10:99-101 The test demands that we denounce idolatry on our own, without divine intervention in our initial decision. God blocks out those who choose to disbelieve.
١٠١:قُلِ انظُروا ماذا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضِ وَما تُغنِى الـٔايٰتُ وَالنُّذُرُ عَن قَومٍ لا يُؤمِنونَ
[10:101] Say, “Look at all the signs in the heavens and the earth.” All the proofs and all the warnings can never help people who decided to disbelieve.
١٠٢:فَهَل يَنتَظِرونَ إِلّا مِثلَ أَيّامِ الَّذينَ خَلَوا مِن قَبلِهِم قُل فَانتَظِروا إِنّى مَعَكُم مِنَ المُنتَظِرينَ
[10:102] Can they expect other than the fate of their counterparts in the past? Say, “Just wait, and, along with you, I am also waiting.”
١٠٣:ثُمَّ نُنَجّى رُسُلَنا وَالَّذينَ ءامَنوا كَذٰلِكَ حَقًّا عَلَينا نُنجِ المُؤمِنينَ
Guaranteed Victory
[10:103] We ultimately save our messengers and those who believe. It is our immutable law that we save the believers.
١٠٤:قُل يٰأَيُّهَا النّاسُ إِن كُنتُم فى شَكٍّ مِن دينى فَلا أَعبُدُ الَّذينَ تَعبُدونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ وَلٰكِن أَعبُدُ اللَّهَ الَّذى يَتَوَفّىٰكُم وَأُمِرتُ أَن أَكونَ مِنَ المُؤمِنينَ
[10:104] Say, “O people, if you have any doubt regarding my religion, I do not worship what you worship beside GOD . I worship GOD alone; the One who will terminate your lives. I am commanded to be a believer.”
١٠٥:وَأَن أَقِم وَجهَكَ لِلدّينِ حَنيفًا وَلا تَكونَنَّ مِنَ المُشرِكينَ
[10:105] I was commanded: “Keep yourself devoted to the religion of monotheism; you shall not practice idol worship.
١٠٦:وَلا تَدعُ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ما لا يَنفَعُكَ وَلا يَضُرُّكَ فَإِن فَعَلتَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذًا مِنَ الظّٰلِمينَ
[10:106] “You shall not worship beside GOD what possesses no power to benefit you or harm you. If you do, you will be a transgressor.”
١٠٧:وَإِن يَمسَسكَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلا كاشِفَ لَهُ إِلّا هُوَ وَإِن يُرِدكَ بِخَيرٍ فَلا رادَّ لِفَضلِهِ يُصيبُ بِهِ مَن يَشاءُ مِن عِبادِهِ وَهُوَ الغَفورُ الرَّحيمُ
All Power Belongs To God
[10:107] If GOD touches you with a hardship, none can relieve it except He. And when He blesses you, no force can prevent His grace. He bestows it upon whomever He chooses from among His servants. He is the Forgiver, Most Merciful.
١٠٨:قُل يٰأَيُّهَا النّاسُ قَد جاءَكُمُ الحَقُّ مِن رَبِّكُم فَمَنِ اهتَدىٰ فَإِنَّما يَهتَدى لِنَفسِهِ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّما يَضِلُّ عَلَيها وَما أَنا۠ عَلَيكُم بِوَكيلٍ
[10:108] Proclaim: “O people, the truth has come to you herein from your Lord. Whoever is guided is guided for his own good. And whoever goes astray, goes astray to his own detriment. I am not a guardian over you.”
١٠٩:وَاتَّبِع ما يوحىٰ إِلَيكَ وَاصبِر حَتّىٰ يَحكُمَ اللَّهُ وَهُوَ خَيرُ الحٰكِمينَ
[10:109] Follow what is revealed to you, and be patient until GOD issues His judgment; He is the best judge.
