Yunus
(10:1) Alif. Lam. Ra. These are the verses of the Book overflowing with wisdom.1
(10:2) Does it seem strange to people that We should have revealed to a man
from among themselves, directing him to warn the people (who lie engrossed in
heedlessness); and to give good news to the believers that they shall enjoy
true honour and an exalted status with their Lord?2 (Is this so strange
that) the deniers of the truth should say: 'This man is indeed an evident sorcerer'?3

that) the deniers of the truth should say: 'This man is indeed an evident sorcerer'?3
(10:3) Surely your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in
six days, then established Himself on the Throne (of His Dominion), governing
all affairs of the universe.4 None may intercede with Him except
after obtaining His leave.5 Such is Allah, your Lord; do therefore
serve Him.6 Will you not take heed?7

after obtaining His leave.5 Such is Allah, your Lord; do therefore
serve Him.6 Will you not take heed?7
(10:4) To Him is your return.8 This is Allah's promise that will
certainly come true. Surely it is He Who brings about the creation of all and
He will repeat it9 so that He may justly reward those who believe
and do righteous deeds; and that those who disbelieve may have a draught of
boiling water and suffer a painful chastisement for their denying the truth.0

(10:5) He it is Who gave the sun radiance and the moon light, and determined
the stages (for the waxing and waning of the moon) that you may learn the calculation
of years and the reckoning of time. Allah has created all this with a rightful
purpose (rather than out of play). He expounds His signs for the people who
know.

(10:6) Surely in the alternation of the night and the day and in all that
Allah has created in the heavens and the earth there are signs for the people
who seek to avoid (error of outlook and conduct).1

do righteous deeds their Lord will guide them aright because of their faith.
Rivers shall flow beneath them in the Gardens of Bliss.3

greeting: 'Peace!'; and their cry will always end with: 'All praise be to Allah,
the Lord of the universe.4

(10:11) Were Allah5 to hasten to bring upon men (the consequence
of) evil in the way men hasten in seeking the wealth of this world, their term
would have long since expired. (But that is not Our way.) So We leave alone
those who do not expect to meet Us that they may blindly stumble in their transgression.

(10:12) And (such is man that) when an affliction befalls him, he cries out
to Us, reclining and sitting and standing. But no sooner than We have removed
his affliction, he passes on as though he had never cried out to Us to remove
his affliction. Thus it is that the misdeeds of the transgressors are made fair-seeming
to them.

(10:13) Surely We destroyed the nations (which had risen to heights of glory
in their times) before you6 when they indulged in wrong-doing7
and refused to believe even when their Messengers brought clear signs to them.
Thus do We recompense the people who are guilty.

how you act.8

(10:15) And whenever Our clear revelations are recited to them, those who
do not expect to meet Us say: 'Bring us a Qur'an other than this one, or at

me to change it of my accord. I only follow what is revealed to me. Were I to

Allah or rejects His signs as false?2 Surely the guilty shall not
prosper.3

on the earth He has no knowledge?4 Holy is He and He is exalted

(10:19) Once all men were but a single community; then they disagreed (and
formulated different beliefs and rites).5 Had it not been that your
Lord had already so ordained, a decisive judgement would have been made regarding
their disagreements.6

And so it happens that when you have boarded the ships and they set sail with
a favourable wind, and the passengers rejoice at the pleasant voyage, then suddenly
a fierce gale appears, and wave upon wave surges upon them from every side,
and people believe that they are surrounded from all directions, and all of
them cry out to Allah in full sincerity of faith: 'If You deliver us from this
we shall surely be thankful.1

(10:24) The example of the life of this world (which has enamoured you into
becoming heedless to Our signs) is that of water that We sent down from the
heaven which causes the vegetation of the earth, which sustains men and cattle,
to grow luxuriantly. But when the earth took on its golden raiment and became
well adorned and the owners believed that they had full control over their lands
Our command came upon them by night or by day, and We convened it into a stubble,
as though it had not blossomed yesterday. Thus do We expound the signs for a
people who reflect.

to those who associated others with Allah in His divinity: 'Keep to your places
- you and those whom you associated with Allah.' Then We shall remove the veil
of foreignness separating them.6 Those whom they had associated

living from the dead and the dead from the living? Who governs all affairs of
the universe?' They will surely say: 'Allah.' Tell them: 'Will you, then, not

the Lord of the universe.
