١٠ - يُونُس

10 - Yunus

وَلَوْ يُعَجِّلُ اللہُ لِلنَّاسِ الشَّرَّ اسْتِعْجَالَھُمْ بِالْخَيْرِ لَقُضِيَ اِلَيْہِمْ اَجَلُھُمْ۝۰ۭ فَنَذَرُ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يَرْجُوْنَ لِقَاۗءَنَا فِيْ طُغْيَانِہِمْ يَعْمَہُوْنَ۝۱۱
Walaw yuAAajjilu Allahu lilnnasi alshsharra istiAAjalahum bialkhayri laqudiya ilayhim ajaluhum fanatharu allatheena la yarjoona liqaana fee tughyanihim yaAAmahoona

English

Ahmed Ali

If God were to hasten the evil, as men try to hasten the good, their term would come to end. So We leave those who do not expect to meet Us to wander perplexed in transgression.

11

وَاِذَا مَسَّ الْاِنْسَانَ الضُّرُّ دَعَانَا لِجَنْۢبِہٖۗ اَوْ قَاعِدًا اَوْ قَاۗىِٕمًا۝۰ۚ فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْہُ ضُرَّہٗ مَرَّ كَاَنْ لَّمْ يَدْعُنَاۗ اِلٰى ضُرٍّ مَّسَّہٗ۝۰ۭ كَذٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِلْمُسْرِفِيْنَ مَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ۝۱۲
Waitha massa alinsana alddurru daAAana lijanbihi aw qaAAidan aw qaiman falamma kashafna AAanhu durrahu marra kaan lam yadAAuna ila durrin massahu kathalika zuyyina lilmusrifeena ma kanoo yaAAmaloona

English

Ahmed Ali

When man is afflicted with adversity he calls to Us, whether lying on his side, or sitting or standing. But when We take away his troubles, he moves away, as though he had never called to Us in affliction. In the same way, attractive have been made their deeds to the prodigals.

12

وَلَقَدْ اَہْلَكْنَا الْقُرُوْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ لَمَّا ظَلَمُوْا۝۰ۙ وَجَاۗءَتْھُمْ رُسُلُھُمْ بِالْبَيِّنٰتِ وَمَا كَانُوْا لِيُؤْمِنُوْا۝۰ۭ كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْقَوْمَ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ۝۱۳
Walaqad ahlakna alquroona min qablikum lamma thalamoo wajaathum rusuluhum bialbayyinati wama kanoo liyuminoo kathalika najzee alqawma almujrimeena

English

Ahmed Ali

How many generations did We lay low before you when they became wilfully unjust. Their apostles had brought clear proofs to them, yet they never believed. So We punished the sinful people.

13

ثُمَّ جَعَلْنٰكُمْ خَلٰۗىِٕفَ فِي الْاَرْضِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِہِمْ لِنَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُوْنَ۝۱۴
Thumma jaAAalnakum khalaifa fee alardi min baAAdihim linanthura kayfa taAAmaloona

English

Ahmed Ali

Then We appointed you leaders in the land after them to see how you behaved.

14

وَاِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْہِمْ اٰيَاتُنَا بَيِّنٰتٍ۝۰ۙ قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يَرْجُوْنَ لِقَاۗءَنَا ائْتِ بِقُرْاٰنٍ غَيْرِ ھٰذَاۗ اَوْ بَدِّلْہُ۝۰ۭ قُلْ مَا يَكُوْنُ لِيْۗ اَنْ اُبَدِّلَہٗ مِنْ تِلْقَاۗيِ نَفْسِيْ۝۰ۚ اِنْ اَتَّبِـــعُ اِلَّا مَا يُوْحٰۗى اِلَيَّ۝۰ۚ اِنِّىْۗ اَخَافُ اِنْ عَصَيْتُ رَبِّيْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيْمٍ۝۱۵
Waitha tutla AAalayhim ayatuna bayyinatin qala allatheena la yarjoona liqaana iti biquranin ghayri hatha aw baddilhu qul ma yakoonu lee an obaddilahu min tilqai nafsee in attabiAAu illa ma yooha ilayya innee akhafu in AAasaytu rabbee AAathaba yawmin AAatheemin

English

Ahmed Ali

When Our clear messages are recited to them, those who do not hope to meet Us, say: "Bring a different Qur'an, or make amendments to this one." Say: "It is not for me to change it of my will. I follow (only) what is revealed to me. If I disobey my Lord, I fear the punishment of an awful Day."

15

قُلْ لَّوْ شَاۗءَ اللہُ مَا تَلَوْتُہٗ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَاۗ اَدْرٰىكُمْ بِہٖ۝۰ۡۖ فَقَدْ لَبِثْتُ فِيْكُمْ عُمُـرًا مِّنْ قَبْلِہٖ۝۰ۭ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ۝۱۶
Qul law shaa Allahu ma talawtuhu AAalaykum wala adrakum bihi faqad labithtu feekum AAumuran min qablihi afala taAAqiloona

English

Ahmed Ali

Say: "Had God pleased I would never have recited it to you, nor would He have given you comprehension of it. (Remember that I am one of you) and have lived a whole life with you before (its revelation). Even then you do not understand."

16

فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰي عَلَي اللہِ كَذِبًا اَوْ كَذَّبَ بِاٰيٰتِہٖ۝۰ۭ اِنَّہٗ لَا يُفْلِحُ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ۝۱۷
Faman athlamu mimmani iftara AAala Allahi kathiban aw kaththaba biayatihi innahu la yuflihu almujrimoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Who is more unjust than he who imputes lies to God or denies His revelations? The sinners will surely not be reprieved.

17

وَيَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللہِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّھُمْ وَلَا يَنْفَعُھُمْ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ ہٰۗؤُلَاۗءِ شُفَعَاۗؤُنَا عِنْدَ اؘ۝۰ۭ قُلْ اَتُنَبِّـــــُٔوْنَ اللہَ بِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُ فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَلَا فِي الْاَرْضِ۝۰ۭ سُبْحٰنَہٗ وَتَعٰلٰى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُوْنَ۝۱۸
WayaAAbudoona min dooni Allahi ma la yadurruhum wala yanfaAAuhum wayaqooloona haolai shufaAAaona AAinda Allahi qul atunabbioona Allaha bima la yaAAlamu fee alssamawati wala fee alardi subhanahu wataAAala AAamma yushrikoona

English

Ahmed Ali

They worship those besides God who cannot do them harm or bring them gain, and say: "These are our intercessors with God." Say: "Do you want to inform God of things in the heavens and the earth He does not know?" Glorious is He, and too exalted for what they associate with Him!

18

وَمَا كَانَ النَّاسُ اِلَّاۗ اُمَّۃً وَّاحِدَۃً فَاخْتَلَفُوْا۝۰ۭ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَۃٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَھُمْ فِيْمَا فِيْہِ يَخْتَلِفُوْنَ۝۱۹
Wama kana alnnasu illa ommatan wahidatan faikhtalafoo walawla kalimatun sabaqat min rabbika laqudiya baynahum feema feehi yakhtalifoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Men were once a community of one faith; but they differed (and followed different ways). Had it not been for the word proclaimed by your Lord before, their differences would have been resolved.

19

وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ لَوْلَاۗ اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْہِ اٰيَۃٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّہٖ۝۰ۚ فَقُلْ اِنَّمَا الْغَيْبُ لِلہِ فَانْتَظِرُوْا۝۰ۚ اِنِّىْ مَعَكُمْ مِّنَ الْمُنْتَظِرِيْنَ۝۲۰ۧ
Wayaqooloona lawla onzila AAalayhi ayatun min rabbihi faqul innama alghaybu lillahi faintathiroo innee maAAakum mina almuntathireena

English

Ahmed Ali

They say: "How is it that no sign was sent by his Lord (to His Prophet)?" Tell them: "Unknown things are only known to God. So watch and wait (for the sign); I am waiting and expecting with you."
