Surah Yunus

وَإِذَآأَذَقْنَاٱلنَّاسَرَحْمَةًۭمِّنۢبَعْدِضَرَّآءَمَسَّتْهُمْإِذَالَهُممَّكْرٌۭفِىٓءَايَاتِنَاقُلِٱللَّهُأَسْرَعُمَكْرًاإِنَّرُسُلَنَايَكْتُبُونَمَاتَمْكُرُونَ

And [thus it is:] whenever We let [such] people taste [some of Our] grace after hardship has visited them-lo! they forthwith turn to devising false arguments against Our messages. Say: "God is swifter [than you] in His deep devising!" Behold, Our [heavenly] messengers are recording all that you may devise!

هُوَٱلَّذِىيُسَيِّرُكُمْفِىٱلْبَرِّوَٱلْبَحْرِحَتَّىٰٓإِذَاكُنتُمْفِىٱلْفُلْكِوَجَرَيْنَبِهِمبِرِيحٍۢطَيِّبَةٍۢوَفَرِحُوا۟بِهَاجَآءَتْهَارِيحٌعَاصِفٌۭوَجَآءَهُمُٱلْمَوْجُمِنكُلِّمَكَانٍۢوَظَنُّوٓا۟أَنَّهُمْأُحِيطَبِهِمْدَعَوُا۟ٱللَّهَمُخْلِصِينَلَهُٱلدِّينَلَئِنْأَنجَيْتَنَامِنْهَٰذِهِۦلَنَكُونَنَّمِنَٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ

He it is who enables you to travel on land and sea. And [behold what happens] when you go to sea in ships: [they go to sea in ships,] and they sail on in them in a favourable wind, and they rejoice thereat until there comes upon them a tempest, and waves surge towards them from all sides, so that they believe themselves to be encompassed [by death; and then] they call unto God, [at that moment] sincere in their faith in Him alone, "If Thou wilt but save us from this, we shall most certainly be among the grateful!"

فَلَمَّآأَنجَىٰهُمْإِذَاهُمْيَبْغُونَفِىٱلْأَرْضِبِغَيْرِٱلْحَقِّيَٰٓأَيُّهَاٱلنَّاسُإِنَّمَابَغْيُكُمْعَلَىٰٓأَنفُسِكُممَّتَٰعَٱلْحَيَوٰةِٱلدُّنْيَاثُمَّإِلَيْنَامَرْجِعُكُمْفَنُنَبِّئُكُمبِمَاكُنتُمْتَعْمَلُونَ

Yet as soon as He has saved them from this [danger], lo! they behave outrageously on earth, offending against all right! O men! All your outrageous deeds are bound to fall back upon your own selves! [You care only for] the enjoyment of life in this world: [but remember that] in the end unto Us you must return, whereupon We shall make you truly understand all that you were doing [in life].

إِنَّمَامَثَلُٱلْحَيَوٰةِٱلدُّنْيَاكَمَآءٍأَنزَلْنَٰهُمِنَٱلسَّمَآءِفَٱخْتَلَطَبِهِۦنَبَاتُٱلْأَرْضِمِمَّايَأْكُلُٱلنَّاسُوَٱلْأَنْعَٰمُحَتَّىٰٓإِذَآأَخَذَتِٱلْأَرْضُزُخْرُفَهَاوَٱزَّيَّنَتْوَظَنَّأَهْلُهَآأَنَّهُمْقَٰدِرُونَعَلَيْهَآأَتَىٰهَآأَمْرُنَالَيْلًاأَوْنَهَارًۭافَجَعَلْنَٰهَاحَصِيدًۭاكَأَنلَّمْتَغْنَبِٱلْأَمْسِكَذَٰلِكَنُفَصِّلُٱلْءَايَٰتِلِقَوْمٍۢيَتَفَكَّرُونَ

The parable of the life of this world is but that of rain which We send down from the sky, and which is absorbed by the plants of the earth whereof men and animals draw nourishment, until -when the earth has assumed its artful adornment and has been embellished, and they who dwell on it believe that they have gained mastery over it -there comes down upon it Our judgment, by night or by day, and We cause it to become [like] a field mown down, as if there had been no yesterday. Thus clearly do We spell out these messages unto people who think!

وَٱللَّهُيَدْعُوٓا۟إِلَىٰدَارِٱلسَّلَٰمِوَيَهْدِىمَنيَشَآءُإِلَىٰصِرَٰطٍۢمُّسْتَقِيمٍۢ

AND [know that] God invites [man] unto the abode of peace, and guides him that wills [to be guided] onto a straight way.

لِّلَّذِينَأَحْسَنُوا۟ٱلْحُسْنَىٰوَزِيَادَةٌۭوَلَايَرْهَقُوُجُوهَهُمْقَتَرٌۭوَلَاذِلَّةٌأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَأَصْحَٰبُٱلْجَنَّةِهُمْفِيهَاخَٰلِدُونَ

For those who persevere in doing good there is the ultimate good in store, and more [than that]. No darkness and no ignominy will overshadow their faces [on Resurrection Day]: it is they who are destined for paradise, therein to abide.

وَٱلَّذِينَكَسَبُوا۟ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِجَزَآءُسَيِّئَةٍۭبِمِثْلِهَاوَتَرْهَقُهُمْذِلَّةٌۭمَّالَهُممِّنَٱللَّهِمِنْعَاصِمٍۢكَأَنَّمَآأُغْشِيَتْوُجُوهُهُمْقِطَعًۭامِّنَٱلَّيْلِمُظْلِمًاأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَأَصْحَٰبُٱلنَّارِهُمْفِيهَاخَٰلِدُونَ

But us for those who have done evil deeds - the recompense of an evil, deed shall be the like thereof: and - since they will have none to defend them against God - ignominy will overshadow them as though their faces were veiled by the night's own darkness: it is they who are destined for the fire. therein to abide.

وَيَوْمَنَحْشُرُهُمْجَمِيعًۭاثُمَّنَقُولُلِلَّذِينَأَشْرَكُوا۟مَكَانَكُمْأَنتُمْوَشُرَكَآؤُكُمْفَزَيَّلْنَابَيْنَهُمْوَقَالَشُرَكَآؤُهُممَّاكُنتُمْإِيَّانَاتَعْبُدُونَ

For, one Day We shall gather them all together, and then We shall say unto those who [in their lifetime] ascribed divinity to aught but God, "Stand where you are, you and those [beings and powers] to whom you were wont to ascribe a share in God's divinity! -for by then We shall have [visibly] separated them from one another. And the beings to whom they had ascribed a share in God's divinity will say [to those who had worshipped them], "It was not us that you were wont to worship;

فَكَفَىٰبِٱللَّهِشَهِيدًۢابَيْنَنَاوَبَيْنَكُمْإِنكُنَّاعَنْعِبَادَتِكُمْلَغَٰفِلِينَ

and none can bear witness between us and you as God does: we were, for certain, unaware of your worshipping [us].

هُنَالِكَتَبْلُوا۟كُلُّنَفْسٍۢمَّآأَسْلَفَتْوَرُدُّوٓا۟إِلَىٱللَّهِمَوْلَىٰهُمُٱلْحَقِّوَضَلَّعَنْهُممَّاكَانُوا۟يَفْتَرُونَ

There and then will every human being clearly apprehend what he has done in the past; and all will be brought back unto God, their true Lord Supreme, and all their false imagery will have forsaken them.

قُلْمَنيَرْزُقُكُممِّنَٱلسَّمَآءِوَٱلْأَرْضِأَمَّنيَمْلِكُٱلسَّمْعَوَٱلْأَبْصَٰرَوَمَنيُخْرِجُٱلْحَىَّمِنَٱلْمَيِّتِوَيُخْرِجُٱلْمَيِّتَمِنَٱلْحَىِّوَمَنيُدَبِّرُٱلْأَمْرَفَسَيَقُولُونَٱللَّهُفَقُلْأَفَلَاتَتَّقُونَ

SAY: "Who is it that provides you with sustenance out of heaven and earth, or who is it that has full power over [your] hearing and sight? And who is it that brings forth the living out of that which is dead, and brings forth the dead out of that which is alive? And who is it that governs all that exists?" And they will [surely] answer: "[It is] God." Say, then: "Will you not, then, become [fully] conscious of Him-

فَذَٰلِكُمُٱللَّهُرَبُّكُمُٱلْحَقُّفَمَاذَابَعْدَٱلْحَقِّإِلَّاٱلضَّلَٰلُفَأَنَّىٰتُصْرَفُونَ

seeing that He is God, your Sustainer, the Ultimate Truth? For, after the truth [has been forsaken], what is there [left] but error? How, then, can you lose sight of the truth?"

كَذَٰلِكَحَقَّتْكَلِمَتُرَبِّكَعَلَىٱلَّذِينَفَسَقُوٓا۟أَنَّهُمْلَايُؤْمِنُونَ

Thus is thy Sustainer's word proved true with regard to such as are bent on sinful doings: they will not believes

قُلْهَلْمِنشُرَكَآئِكُممَّنيَبْدَؤُا۟ٱلْخَلْقَثُمَّيُعِيدُهُۥقُلِٱللَّهُيَبْدَؤُا۟ٱلْخَلْقَثُمَّيُعِيدُهُۥفَأَنَّىٰتُؤْفَكُونَ

Say: "Can any of those beings to whom you ascribe a share in God's divinity create [life] in the first instance, and then bring it forth anew?” Say: "It is God [alone] who creates [all life] in the first instance, and then brings it forth anew. How perverted, then, are your minds!"

قُلْهَلْمِنشُرَكَآئِكُممَّنيَهْدِىٓإِلَىٱلْحَقِّقُلِٱللَّهُيَهْدِىلِلْحَقِّأَفَمَنيَهْدِىٓإِلَىٱلْحَقِّأَحَقُّأَنيُتَّبَعَأَمَّنلَّايَهِدِّىٓإِلَّآأَنيُهْدَىٰفَمَالَكُمْكَيْفَتَحْكُمُونَ

Say: "Does any of those beings to whom you ascribe a share in God's divinity guide unto the truth?" Say: "It is God [alone] who guides unto the truth. Which, then, is more worthy to be followed - He who guides unto the truth, or he who cannot find the right way unless he is guided? What, then, is amiss with you and your judgment?"

وَمَايَتَّبِعُأَكْثَرُهُمْإِلَّاظَنًّاإِنَّٱلظَّنَّلَايُغْنِىمِنَٱلْحَقِّشَيْـًٔاإِنَّٱللَّهَعَلِيمٌۢبِمَايَفْعَلُونَ

For, most of them follow nothing but conjecture: [and,] behold, conjecture can never be a substitute for truth. Verily, God has full knowledge of all that they do.

وَمَاكَانَهَٰذَاٱلْقُرْءَانُأَنيُفْتَرَىٰمِندُونِٱللَّهِوَلَٰكِنتَصْدِيقَٱلَّذِىبَيْنَيَدَيْهِوَتَفْصِيلَٱلْكِتَٰبِلَارَيْبَفِيهِمِنرَّبِّٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

Now this Qur'an could not possibly have been devised by anyone save God: nay indeed, it confirms the truth of whatever there still remains [of earlier revelations] and clearly spells out the revelation [which comes] -let there be no doubt about it-from the Sustainer of all the worlds.

أَمْيَقُولُونَٱفْتَرَىٰهُقُلْفَأْتُوا۟بِسُورَةٍۢمِّثْلِهِۦوَٱدْعُوا۟مَنِٱسْتَطَعْتُممِّندُونِٱللَّهِإِنكُنتُمْصَٰدِقِينَ

And yet, they [who are bent on denying the truth] assert, "[Muhammad] has invented it!" Say [unto them]: "Produce, then, a surah of similar merit; and [to this end] call to your aid whomever you can, other than God, if what you say is true!

بَلْكَذَّبُوا۟بِمَالَمْيُحِيطُوا۟بِعِلْمِهِۦوَلَمَّايَأْتِهِمْتَأْوِيلُهُۥكَذَٰلِكَكَذَّبَٱلَّذِينَمِنقَبْلِهِمْفَٱنظُرْكَيْفَكَانَعَٰقِبَةُٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

Nay, but they are bent on giving the lie to everything the wisdom whereof they do not comprehend, and ere its inner meaning has become clear to them Even thus did those who lived before their time give the lie to the truth: and behold what happened in the end to those evildoers!

وَمِنْهُممَّنيُؤْمِنُبِهِۦوَمِنْهُممَّنلَّايُؤْمِنُبِهِۦوَرَبُّكَأَعْلَمُبِٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ

And there are among them such as will in time come to believe in this [divine writ], just as there are among them such as will never believe in it; and thy Sustainer is fully aware as to who are the spreaders of corruption.
