بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ
10:21 "When We bestow on mankind a mercy after a hardship that has touched them, they immediately devise a plan against Our signs and miracles. Say: "Allah is quicker in making plans. Our messengers record all your plans."
10:22 "It is He who guides you on land and sea. (Imagine that) you are in a ship. When a breeze carries the passengers away, they are content with the ship. Suddenly they are caught in a violent storm. When they think that they are completely surrounded by the waves coming from all directions, they make the religion belong to Allah alone, saying, "If You deliver us from this, we shall be of the grateful."
10:23 And when He rescues them, they begin to transgress in the earth unjustly. O people, your excesses are against yourselves. You are fond of the transient pleasures of this world´s life, but to Us is your return, and We will inform you of all that you do.
10:24 The life of this world is like this example: the water We send down from the sky mixes with the plants that people and animals eat. This lasts until the earth is adorned and its inhabitants think that they have dominion over nature. Then Our command comes to it by night or by day. We make it uproot itself as if it had not possessed anything the day before. Thus do We explain the verses for a people who reflect.
10:25 Allah calls to the abode of peace and guides whom He wills to a straight path.
10:26 Those who do good deeds will have more. No sense of deprivation or humiliation covers their faces. They are the people of Paradise. They will abide therein forever.
10:27 And those who do evil will be repaid with the same evil. A sense of humiliation covers their faces. They have no protector except Allah. Their faces are covered as if with a piece of the dark night. They are the people of the Fire; they will abide therein forever.
10:28 "On the Day when We gather them together, We will separate them from each other, saying to those who associate partners, "You and your partners, take your places!"And their associates will say: "You were not serving Us"."
10:29 "Allah is a witness between us and you that we were unaware of your worshipping"."
10:30 There every soul will find what it has done in the past. They are returned to Allah, their true Mawla. And that which they invented (partners) will disappear from them.
10:31 "Say, "Who gives you sustenance from the sky and the earth? Who controls your senses of hearing and sight? Who brings forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living? Who manages all affairs?"They will say: "Allah". Say: "Then why do you not act righteously?"
10:32 This is Allah, your true Lord. Then what remains after the truth but error? How are you turned away?
10:33 Such is the Word of your Lord that those who have gone astray will not believe.
10:34 "Say, "Which of your partners can start creation and repeat it?"Say: "Allah initiates creation and repeats it. How do you turn away?"
10:35 "Say, "Which of your associates can guide to the truth?"Say, "Allah guides to the truth. Who is more worthy to be obeyed, He who guides to the truth, or he who cannot find the truth unless he is guided to the truth? How do you judge?"
10:36 Most of them follow only conjecture. And conjecture is no substitute for truth. Allah is Knower of what they do.
10:37 This Qur´an is not a book edited by anyone other than Allah. It is but a detailed explanation of the Book (of laws), confirming what has gone before it. Make no doubt about it; it is from the Lord of the universes.
10:38 "Do they say: "He fabricated it"? Say: "If you are truthful, bring a surah like it, and call upon those whom you can call upon besides Allah."
10:39 Nay, they belied it before they understood its knowledge and before its true meaning reached them. So did those before them. Behold the end of the wrongdoers.
10:40 Some of them believe in it and some do not believe. Your Lord knows better those who commit mischief.
