Translation of Verse 9-24

9. If We give people a taste of Our mercy then take it away from them, they become utterly desperate, ungrateful.

10. But if We give them a taste of prosperity after being touched with adversity, they say, "My ills are gone," and become totally prideful and boastful,

11. except those who patiently endure and do good. It is they who will have forgiveness and a mighty reward.

12. Perhaps you ˹O Prophet˺ may wish to give up some of what is revealed to you and may be distressed by it because they say, "If only a treasure had been sent down to him, or an angel had come with him!" You are only a warner, and Allah is the Trustee of All Affairs.

13. Or do they say, "He ⁴¹³ has fabricated this ˹Quran˺!"? Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "Produce ten fabricated sûrah s like it and seek help from whoever you can-other than Allah-if what you say is true!"

14. But if your helpers fail you, then know that it has been revealed with the knowledge of Allah, and that there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him! Will you ˹not˺ then submit ˹to Allah ˺ ?

15. Whoever desires ˹only˺ this worldly life and its luxuries, We will pay them in full for their deeds in this life-nothing will be left out.

16. It is they who will have nothing in the Hereafter except the Fire. Their efforts in this life will be fruitless and their deeds will be useless.

17. ˹Can these people be compared to˺ those ˹believers˺ who stand on clear proof from their Lord, backed by ˹the Quran as˺ a witness from Him, and preceded by the Book of Moses ˹which was revealed˺ as a guide and mercy? It is those ˹believers˺ who have faith in it. But whoever from the ˹disbelieving˺ groups rejects it, the Fire will be their destiny. So do not be in doubt of it. It is certainly the truth from your Lord, but most people do not believe.

18. Who does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Allah? They will be brought before their Lord, and the witnesses ⁴¹⁴ will say, "These are the ones who lied against their Lord." Surely Allah's condemnation is upon the wrongdoers,

19. who hinder ˹others˺ from Allah's Path, striving to make it ˹appear˺ crooked, and disbelieve in the Hereafter.

20. They will never frustrate Allah on earth, and they will have no protector besides Allah. Their punishment will be multiplied, for they failed to hear or see ˹the truth˺.

21. It is they who have ruined themselves, and whatever ˹gods˺ they fabricated will fail them.

22. Without a doubt, they will be the worst losers in the Hereafter.

23. Surely those who believe, do good, and humble themselves before their Lord will be the residents of Paradise. They will be there forever.

24. The example of these two parties is that of the blind and the deaf, compared to the seeing and the hearing. Can the two be equal? Will you not then be mindful?
