Walaw yuAAajjilu Allahu lilnnasi alshsharra istiAAjalahum bialkhayri laqudiya ilayhim ajaluhum fanatharu allatheena la yarjoona liqaana fee tughyanihim yaAAmahoona\n11. If God were to hasten for men\n The ill (they have earned)\n As they would fain hasten on\n The good,\u2014then would\n Their respite be settled at once.\n But We leave those\n Who rest not their hope\n On their meeting with Us,\n In their trespasses, wandering\n In distraction to and fro.\n12. Wa-itha massa al-insana alddurru daAAana lijanbihi aw qaAAidan aw qa-iman falamma kashafna AAanhu durrahu marra kaan lam yadAAuna ila durrin massahu kathalika zuyyina lilmusrifeena ma kanoo yaAAmaloona\n12. When trouble toucheth a man,\n He crieth unto Us\n (In all postures)\u2014lying down\n On his side, or sitting,\n Or standing. But when We\n Have solved his trouble,\n He passeth on his way as if\n He had never cried to Us\n For a trouble that touched him!\n Thus do the deeds of transgressors\n Seem fair in their eyes!\n13. Walaqad ahlakna alquroona min qablikum lamma thalamoo wajaat-hum rusuluhum bialbayyinati wama kanoo liyu/minoo kathalika najzee alqawma almujrimeena\n13. Generations before you\n We destroyed when they\n Did wrong: their Apostles\n Came to them with Clear Signs,\n But they would not believe!\n Thus do We requite\n Those who sin!\n14. Thumma jaAAalnakum khala-ifa fee al-ardi min baAAdihim linanthura kayfa taAAmaloona\n14. Then We made you heirs\n In the land after them,\n To see how ye would behave!\n15. Wa-itha tutla AAalayhim ayatuna bayyinatin qala allatheena la yarjoona liqaana i/ti biqur-anin ghayri hatha aw baddilhu qul ma yakoonu lee an obaddilahu min tilqa-i nafsee in attabiAAu illa ma yooha ilayya innee akhafu in AAasaytu rabbee AAathaba yawmin AAatheemin\n15. But when Our Clear Signs\n Are rehearsed unto them,\n Those who rest not their hope\n On their meeting with Us,\n Say: \"Bring us a Reading\n Other than this, or change this,\"\n Say: \"It is not for me,\n Of my own accord,\n To change it: I follow\n Naught but what is revealed\n Unto me: if I were\n To disobey my Lord,\n I should myself fear the Penalty\n Of a Great Day (to come).\"\n16. Qul law shaa Allahu ma talawtuhu AAalaykum wala adrakum bihi faqad labithtu feekum AAumuran min qablihi afala taAAqiloona\n16. Say: \"If God had so willed,\n I should not have rehearsed it\n To you, nor whould He\n Have made it known to you.\n A whole life-time before this\n Have I tarried amongst you:\n Will ye not then understand?\n17. Faman athlamu mimmani iftara AAala Allahi kathiban aw kaththaba bi-ayatihi innahu la yuflihu almujrimoona\n17. Who doth more wrong\n Than such as forge a lie\n Against God, or deny\n His Signs? But never\n Will prosper those who sin.\n18. WayaAAbudoona min dooni Allahi ma la yadurruhum wala yanfaAAuhum wayaqooloona haola-i shufaAAaona AAinda Allahi qul atunabbi-oona Allaha bima la yaAAlamu fee alssamawati wala fee al-ardi subhanahu wataAAala AAamma yushrikoona\n18. They serve, besides God,\n Things that hurt them not\n Nor profit them, and they say:\n \"These are our intercessors\n With God.\" Say: \"Do ye\n Indeed inform God of something\n He knows not, in the heavens\n Or on earth?\u2014Glory to Him!\n And far is He above the partners\n They ascribe (to Him)!\"\n19. Wama kana alnnasu illa ommatan wahidatan faikhtalafoo walawla kalimatun sabaqat min rabbika laqudiya baynahum feema feehi yakhtalifoona\n19. Mankind was but one nation,\n But differed (later). Had it not\n Been for a Word\n That went forth before\n From thy Lord, their differences\n Would have been settled\n Between them.\n20. Wayaqooloona lawla onzila AAalayhi ayatun min rabbihi faqul innama alghaybu lillahi faintathiroo innee maAAakum mina almuntathireena\n20. They say: \"Why is not\n A Sign sent down to him\n From his Lord?\" Say:\n \"The Unseen is only\n For God (to know).\n Then wait ye: I too\nWill wait with you.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra X.: Y\u016bnus, or Jonah.: Section 2...","type":"page"}
