Sura 10 Jonah (Younus)

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

[10:1] A.L.R. These are the signs of the Wise Book.

[10:2] Has it been an astonishment to the people that We inspired a man from among them: "You shall warn the people and give good news to those who believe that they have a sure footing at their Lord"? The disbelievers said, "This is an obvious magician!"

[10:3] Indeed, your Lord is God: the One who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then He settled on the Throne, handling the affair. There is no intercessor except after His permission. Such is God your Lord, so worship Him. Will you not take heed?

[10:4] To Him is your return, all of you. God's promise is truthful. He initiates the creation, and then He repeats it so that He may reward those who believed and did good deeds equitably. As for those who disbelieve, they will have boiling drinks and a painful punishment for what they used to deny.

[10:5] He is the One who rendered the sun to emit light and the moon a light, and He determined its phases that you may know the count of years, and for calculation. God did not create this but truthfully. He details the revelations for a people who know.

[10:6] In the alternation of night and day, and in what God has created in the heavens and the earth, are signs for a people who are reverent.

[10:7] Those who do not seek the meeting with Us, and are content with the worldly life and feel secure in it, and who are oblivious of Our signs;

[10:8] the refuge of those is the Fire because of what they used to earn.

[10:9] As for those who believe and do good deeds, their Lord guides them by virtue of their faith. Rivers will flow beneath them in the Gardens of Bliss.

[10:10] Their prayer therein is: "Glory to You, O God," and their greeting therein is: "Peace," and the ending of their prayer is: "Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds."

[10:11] If God was to hasten the bad that is due to the people, just as they wish to hasten the good, their term would have already been fulfilled. However, We leave those who do not seek the meeting with Us blundering blindly in their transgression.

[10:12] If any harm touches the human being, he implores Us on his side, sitting down or standing up. Then when We remove the harm from him, he carries on as if he had never implored Us about a hardship that had touched him! What the excessive ones used to do was thus adorned for them.

[10:13] We have annihilated the generations before you when they transgressed. And their messengers came to them with the clear proofs, but they were not to believe. We thus repay the criminal people.

[10:14] Then We made you successors in the earth after them to see how you would act.

[10:15] When Our clear revelations are recited to them, those who do not seek the meeting with Us say, "Bring a Quran other than this or replace it." Say, "It is not for me to replace it of my own accord. I only follow what is revealed to me. I fear if I disobey my Lord, the punishment of a great Day."

[10:16] Say, "Had God willed, I would not have recited it to you, nor would He have made it known to you. I have remained among you for a lifetime before it, so will you not reason?"

[10:17] So who is more transgressing than one who fabricates lies about God, or denies His revelations? For certain, the criminals will not succeed.

[10:18] They worship besides God what does not harm them nor benefit them, and they say, "These are our intercessors at God." Say, "Are you informing God of something in the heavens or in the earth that He does not know?" Glory to Him and exalted is He, far above what they associate with Him.
