Translation of Verse 11-20

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."
