10:3Your Lord is God, who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then settled over the Throne, governing all things. There is no intercessor except after His permission. Such is God, your Lord—so serve Him. Will you not reflect?

10:4To Him is your return, altogether. The promise of God is true. He originates creation, and then He repeats it, to reward those who believe and do good deeds with equity. As for those who disbelieve, for them is a drink of boiling water, and agonizing torment, on account of their disbelief.

10:5It is He who made the sun radiant, and the moon a light, and determined phases for it—that you may know the number of years and the calculation. God did not create all this except with truth. He details the revelations for a people who know.

10:10Their call therein is, “Glory be to You, our God.” And their greeting therein is, “Peace.” And the last of their call is, “Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.”

10:13We destroyed generations before you when they did wrong. Their messengers came to them with clear signs, but they would not believe. Thus We requite the sinful people.

10:14Then We made you successors on earth after them, to see how you would behave.

10:16Say, “Had God willed, I would not have recited it to you, and He would not have made it known to you. I have lived among you for a lifetime before it. Do you not understand?”

10:18And they worship, besides God, what neither harms them nor benefits them. And they say, “These are our intercessors with God.” Say, “Are you informing God about what He does not know in the heavens or on earth?” Glorified be He, High above the associations they make.

10:19Mankind was a single community; then they differed. Were it not for a prior decree from your Lord, the matters over which they had disputed would have been settled.

10:20And they say, “If only a miracle was sent down to him from his Lord.” Say, “The realm of the unseen belongs to God; so wait, I am waiting with you.”

10:21When We make the people taste mercy after some adversity has touched them, they begin to scheme against Our revelations. Say, “God is swifter in scheming.” Our envoys are writing down what you scheme.

10:22It is He who transports you across land and sea. Until, when you are on ships, sailing in a favorable wind, and rejoicing in it, a raging wind arrives. The waves surge over them from every side, and they realize that they are besieged. Thereupon they pray to God, professing sincere devotion to Him: “If You save us from this, we will be among the appreciative.”

10:23But then, when He has saved them, they commit violations on earth, and oppose justice. O people! Your violations are against your own souls. It is the enjoyment of the present life. Then to Us is your return, and We will inform you of what you used to do.

10:28On the Day when We will gather them altogether, then say to those who ascribed partners, “To your place, you and your partners.” Then We will separate between them, and their partners will say, “It was not us you were worshiping.”

10:29“God is sufficient witness between us and you. We were unaware of your worshiping us.”

10:31Say, “Who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? And who controls the hearing and the sight? And who produces the living from the dead, and produces the dead from the living? And who governs the Order?” They will say, “God.” Say, “Will you not be careful?”

10:32Such is God, your Lord—the True. What is there, beyond the truth, except falsehood? How are you turned away?

10:33Thus your Lord’s Word proved true against those who disobeyed, for they do not believe.

10:34Say, “Can any of your partners initiate creation, and then repeat it?” Say, “God initiates creation, and then repeats it. How are you so deluded?”

10:35Say, “Can any of your partners guide to the truth?” Say, “God guides to the truth. Is He who guides to the truth more worthy of being followed, or he who does not guide, unless he himself is guided? What is the matter with you? How do you judge?”

10:38Or do they say, “He has forged it”? Say, “Then produce a single chapter like it, and call upon whomever you can, apart from God, if you are truthful.”

10:40Among them are those who believe in it, and among them are those who do not believe in it. Your Lord is fully aware of the mischief-makers.

10:41If they accuse you of lying, say, “I have my deeds, and you have your deeds. You are quit of what I do, and I am quit of what you do.”

10:42And among them are those who listen to you. But can you make the deaf hear, even though they do not understand?

10:43And among them are those who look at you. But can you guide the blind, even though they do not see?

10:46Whether We show you some of what We promise them, or take you, to Us is their return. God is witness to everything they do.

10:48And they say, “When will this promise be fulfilled, if you are truthful?”

10:50Say, “Have you considered? If His punishment overtakes you by night or by day, what part of it will the guilty seek to hasten?”

10:51“Then, when it falls, will you believe in it? Now? When before you tried to hasten it?”

10:52Then it will be said to those who did wrong, “Taste the torment of eternity. Will you be rewarded except for what you used to do?”

10:53And they inquire of you, “Is it true?” Say, “Yes, by my Lord, it is true, and you cannot evade it.”

10:56He gives life and causes death, and to Him you will be returned.

10:57O people! There has come to you advice from your Lord, and healing for what is in the hearts, and guidance and mercy for the believers.

10:59Say, “Have you considered the sustenance God has sent down for you, some of which you made unlawful, and some lawful?” Say, “Did God give you permission, or do you fabricate lies and attribute them to God?”

10:61You do not get into any situation, nor do you recite any Quran, nor do you do anything, but We are watching over you as you undertake it. Not even the weight of an atom, on earth or in the sky, escapes your Lord, nor is there anything smaller or larger, but is in a clear record.

10:65And let not their sayings dishearten you. All power is God’s. He is the Hearer, the Knower.

10:67It is He who made the night for your rest, and the daylight for visibility. Surely in that are signs for people who listen.

10:68And they said, “God has taken a son.” Be He glorified. He is the Self-Sufficient. His is everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Do you have any proof for this? Or are you saying about God what you do not know?

10:71And relate to them the story of Noah, when he said to his people, “O my people, if my presence among you and my reminding you of God’s signs is too much for you, then in God I have put my trust. So come to a decision, you and your partners, and do not let the matter perplex you; then carry out your decision on me, and do not hold back.”

10:72“But if you turn away, I have not asked you for any wage. My wage falls only on God, and I was commanded to be of those who submit.”

10:77Moses said, “Is this what you say of the truth when it has come to you? Is this sorcery? Sorcerers do not succeed.”

10:78They said, “Did you come to us to divert us from what we found our ancestors following, and so that you become prominent in the land? We will never believe in you.”

10:80And when the sorcerers came, Moses said to them, “Throw whatever you have to throw.”

10:81And when they threw, Moses said, “What you produced is sorcery, and God will make it fail. God does not foster the efforts of the corrupt.”

10:84Moses said, “O my people, if you have believed in God, then put your trust in Him, if you have submitted.”

10:86“And deliver us, by Your mercy, from the disbelieving people.”

10:87And We inspired Moses and his brother, “Settle your people in Egypt, and make your homes places of worship, and perform the prayer, and give good news to the believers.”

10:88Moses said, “Our Lord, you have given Pharaoh and his chiefs splendor and wealth in the worldly life. Our Lord, for them to lead away from Your path. Our Lord, obliterate their wealth, and harden their hearts, they will not believe until they see the painful torment.”

10:89He said, “Your prayer has been answered, so go straight, and do not follow the path of those who do not know.”

10:91Now? When you have rebelled before, and been of the mischief-makers?

10:92Today We will preserve your body, so that you become a sign for those after you. But most people are heedless of Our signs.

10:93And We settled the Children of Israel in a position of honor, and provided them with good things. They did not differ until knowledge came to them. Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding their differences.

10:94If you are in doubt about what We revealed to you, ask those who read the Scripture before you. The truth has come to you from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.

10:95And do not be of those who deny God’s revelations, lest you become one of the losers.

10:96Those against whom your Lord’s Word is justified will not believe.

10:99Had your Lord willed, everyone on earth would have believed. Will you compel people to become believers?

10:102Do they expect anything but the likes of the days of those who passed away before them? Say, “Then wait, I will be waiting with you.”

10:104Say, “O people, if you are in doubt about my religion—I do not serve those you serve apart from God. But I serve God, the one who will terminate your lives. And I was commanded to be of the believers.”

10:105And dedicate yourself to the true religion—a monotheist—and never be of the polytheists.

10:106And do not call, apart from God, on what neither benefits you nor harms you. If you do, you are then one of the wrongdoers.

10:107If God afflicts you with harm, none can remove it except He. And if He wants good for you, none can repel His grace. He makes it reach whomever He wills of His servants. He is the Forgiver, the Merciful.

10:108Say, “O people, the truth has come to you from your Lord. Whoever accepts guidance is guided for his own soul; and whoever strays only strays to its detriment. I am not a guardian over you.”

10:109And follow what is revealed to you, and be patient until God issues His judgment, for He is the Best of judges.
