وَ لَوْ And if یُعَجِّلُ hastens اللّٰهُ (by) Allah لِلنَّاسِ for the mankind الشَّرَّ the evil اسْتِعْجَالَهُمْ (as) He hastens for them بِالْخَیْرِ the good لَقُضِیَ surely, would have been decreed اِلَیْهِمْ for them اَجَلُهُمْ ؕ their term فَنَذَرُ But We leave الَّذِیْنَ those who لَا (do) not یَرْجُوْنَ expect لِقَآءَنَا the meeting with Us فِیْ in طُغْیَانِهِمْ their transgression یَعْمَهُوْنَ wandering blindly وَ اِذَا And when مَسَّ touches الْاِنْسَانَ the man الضُّرُّ the affliction دَعَانَا he calls Us لِجَنْۢبِهٖۤ (lying) on his side اَوْ or قَاعِدًا sitting اَوْ or قَآىِٕمًا ۚ standing فَلَمَّا But when كَشَفْنَا We remove عَنْهُ from him ضُرَّهٗ his affliction مَرَّ he passes on كَاَنْ as if he لَّمْ (had) not یَدْعُنَاۤ called Us اِلٰی for ضُرٍّ (the) affliction مَّسَّهٗ ؕ (that) touched him كَذٰلِكَ Thus زُیِّنَ (it) is made fair seeming لِلْمُسْرِفِیْنَ to the extravagant مَا what كَانُوْا they used (to) یَعْمَلُوْنَ do وَ لَقَدْ And verily اَهْلَكْنَا We destroyed الْقُرُوْنَ the generations مِنْ before you قَبْلِكُمْ before you لَمَّا when ظَلَمُوْا ۙ they wronged وَ جَآءَتْهُمْ and came to them رُسُلُهُمْ their Messengers بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ with clear proofs وَ مَا but not كَانُوْا they were لِیُؤْمِنُوْا ؕ to believe كَذٰلِكَ Thus نَجْزِی We recompense الْقَوْمَ the people الْمُجْرِمِیْنَ (who are) criminals ثُمَّ Then جَعَلْنٰكُمْ We made you خَلٰٓىِٕفَ successors فِی in الْاَرْضِ the earth مِنْۢ after them بَعْدِهِمْ after them لِنَنْظُرَ so that We may see كَیْفَ how تَعْمَلُوْنَ you do 10. Yunus Page 210 وَ اِذَا And when تُتْلٰی are recited عَلَیْهِمْ to them اٰیَاتُنَا Our Verses بَیِّنٰتٍ ۙ (as) clear proofs قَالَ said الَّذِیْنَ those who لَا (do) not یَرْجُوْنَ hope لِقَآءَنَا (for the) meeting (with) Us ائْتِ Bring us بِقُرْاٰنٍ a Quran غَیْرِ other (than) هٰذَاۤ this اَوْ or بَدِّلْهُ ؕ change it قُلْ Say مَا Not یَكُوْنُ (it) is لِیْۤ for me اَنْ that اُبَدِّلَهٗ I change it مِنْ of تِلْقَآئِ my own accord نَفْسِیْ ۚ my own accord اِنْ Not اَتَّبِعُ I follow اِلَّا except مَا what یُوْحٰۤی is revealed اِلَیَّ ۚ to me اِنِّیْۤ Indeed, I اَخَافُ [I] fear اِنْ if عَصَیْتُ I were to disobey رَبِّیْ my Lord عَذَابَ (the) punishment یَوْمٍ (of) a Day عَظِیْمٍ Great قُلْ Say لَّوْ If شَآءَ (had) willed اللّٰهُ Allah مَا not تَلَوْتُهٗ I (would) have recited it عَلَیْكُمْ to you وَ لَاۤ and not اَدْرٰىكُمْ He (would) have made it known to you بِهٖ ۖؗ He (would) have made it known to you فَقَدْ Verily لَبِثْتُ I have stayed فِیْكُمْ among you عُمُرًا a lifetime مِّنْ before it قَبْلِهٖ ؕ before it اَفَلَا Then will not تَعْقِلُوْنَ you use reason فَمَنْ So who اَظْلَمُ (is) more wrong مِمَّنِ than he who افْتَرٰی invents عَلَی against اللّٰهِ Allah كَذِبًا a lie اَوْ or كَذَّبَ denies بِاٰیٰتِهٖ ؕ His Signs اِنَّهٗ Indeed لَا not یُفْلِحُ will succeed الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ the criminals وَ یَعْبُدُوْنَ And they worship مِنْ from دُوْنِ other than اللّٰهِ Allah مَا that (which) لَا (does) not یَضُرُّهُمْ harm them وَ لَا and not یَنْفَعُهُمْ benefit them وَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ and they say هٰۤؤُلَآءِ These شُفَعَآؤُنَا (are) our intercessors عِنْدَ with اللّٰهِ ؕ Allah قُلْ Say اَتُنَبِّـُٔوْنَ Do you inform اللّٰهَ Allah بِمَا of what لَا not یَعْلَمُ he knows فِی in السَّمٰوٰتِ the heavens وَ لَا and not فِی in الْاَرْضِ ؕ the earth سُبْحٰنَهٗ Glorified is He وَ تَعٰلٰی and Exalted عَمَّا above what یُشْرِكُوْنَ they associate (with Him) وَ مَا And not كَانَ was النَّاسُ the mankind اِلَّاۤ but اُمَّةً a community وَّاحِدَةً one فَاخْتَلَفُوْا ؕ then they differed وَ لَوْ لَا And had (it) not been كَلِمَةٌ a word سَبَقَتْ (that) preceded مِنْ from رَّبِّكَ your Lord لَقُضِیَ surely, it (would) have been judged بَیْنَهُمْ between them فِیْمَا concerning what فِیْهِ [therein] یَخْتَلِفُوْنَ they differ وَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ And they say لَوْ لَاۤ Why not اُنْزِلَ is sent down عَلَیْهِ to him اٰیَةٌ a Sign مِّنْ from رَّبِّهٖ ۚ his Lord فَقُلْ So say اِنَّمَا Only الْغَیْبُ the unseen لِلّٰهِ (is) for Allah فَانْتَظِرُوْا ۚ so wait اِنِّیْ indeed I am مَعَكُمْ with you مِّنَ among الْمُنْتَظِرِیْنَ۠ the ones who wait
11. If Allah were to hasten evil for people 388 as they wish to hasten good, they would have certainly been doomed. But We leave those who do not expect to meet Us to wander blindly in their defiance.
12. Whenever someone is touched by hardship, they cry out to Us, whether lying on their side, sitting, or standing. But when We relieve their hardship, they return to their old ways as if they had never cried to Us to remove any hardship! This is how the misdeeds of the transgressors have been made appealing to them.
13. We surely destroyed ˹other˺ peoples before you when they did wrong, and their messengers came to them with clear proofs but they would not believe! This is how We reward the wicked people.
14. Then We made you their successors in the land to see how you would act.
15. When Our clear revelations are recited to them, those who do not expect to meet Us say ˹to the Prophet˺, "Bring us a different Quran or make some changes in it." Say ˹to them˺, "It is not for me to change it on my own. I only follow what is revealed to me. I fear, if I were to disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day."
16. Say, "Had Allah willed, I would not have recited it to you, nor would He have made it known to you. I had lived my whole life among you before this ˹revelation˺. Do you not understand?"
17. Who does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Allah or deny His revelations? Indeed, the wicked will never succeed.
18. They worship besides Allah others who can neither harm nor benefit them, and say, "These are our intercessors with Allah." Ask ˹them, O Prophet˺, "Are you informing Allah of something He does not know in the heavens or the earth? Glorified and Exalted is He above what they associate ˹with Him˺!"
19. Humanity was once nothing but a single community ˹of believers˺, but then they differed. 389 Had it not been for a prior decree from your Lord, 390 their differences would have been settled ˹at once˺.
20. They ask, "Why has no ˹other˺ sign been sent down to him from his Lord?" Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "˹The knowledge of˺ the unseen is with Allah alone. So wait! I too am waiting with you."
388. When they pray against themselves or their children, or when they demand to be destroyed.
389. i.e., they split into believers and disbelievers.
390. That He will delay their judgment until the Hereafter.
