If Allah were to hasten evil for people¹ as they wish to hasten good, they would have certainly been doomed. But We leave those who do not expect to meet Us to wander blindly in their defiance.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

10:12

وَإِذَا

مَسَّ

ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ

ٱلضُّرُّ

دَعَانَا

لِجَنۢبِهِۦٓ

أَوۡ

قَاعِدًا

أَوۡ

قَآئِمٗا

فَلَمَّا

كَشَفۡنَا

١٢

Whenever someone is touched by hardship, they cry out to Us, whether lying on their side, sitting, or standing. But when We relieve their hardship, they return to their old ways as if they had never cried to Us to remove any hardship! This is how the misdeeds of the transgressors have been made appealing to them.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

10:13

وَلَقَدۡ

١٣

We surely destroyed ˹other˺ peoples before you when they did wrong, and their messengers came to them with clear proofs but they would not believe! This is how We reward the wicked people.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

Then We made you their successors in the land to see how you would act.

When Our clear revelations are recited to them, those who do not expect to meet Us say ˹to the Prophet˺, “Bring us a different Quran or make some changes in it.” Say ˹to them˺, “It is not for me to change it on my own. I only follow what is revealed to me. I fear, if I were to disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day.”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

10:16

١٦

Say, “Had Allah willed, I would not have recited it to you, nor would He have made it known to you. I had lived my whole life among you before this ˹revelation˺. Do you not understand?”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

10:17

فَمَنۡ

Who does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Allah or deny His revelations? Indeed, the wicked will never succeed.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

10:18

١٨

They worship besides Allah others who can neither harm nor benefit them, and say, “These are our intercessors with Allah.” Ask ˹them, O Prophet˺, “Are you informing Allah of something He does not know in the heavens or the earth? Glorified and Exalted is He above what they associate ˹with Him˺!”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

10:19

وَمَا

١٩

Humanity was once nothing but a single community ˹of believers˺, but then they differed.¹ Had it not been for a prior decree from your Lord,² their differences would have been settled ˹at once˺.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

10:20

وَيَقُولُونَ

لَوۡلَآ

أُنزِلَ

عَلَيۡهِ

ءَايَةٞ

رَّبِّهِۦۖ

فَقُلۡ

إِنَّمَا

ٱلۡغَيۡبُ

لِلَّهِ

فَٱنتَظِرُوٓاْ

إِنِّي

ٱلۡمُنتَظِرِينَ

٢٠

They ask, “Why has no ˹other˺ sign been sent down to him from his Lord?” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “˹The knowledge of˺ the unseen is with Allah alone. So wait! I too am waiting with you.”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran
