Surah Yunus Recitation, Translation, and Tafseer - The Holy Quran

10:81

فَلَمَّاۤ اَلْقَوْا قَالَ مُوْسٰى مَا جِئْتُمْ بِهِۙ-السِّحْرُؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَیُبْطِلُهٗؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُصْلِحُ عَمَلَ الْمُفْسِدِیْنَ(۸۱)

When they had cast (their spell) Moses said: "What you have cast is only a charm which God will surely nullify. God does not verily render the deeds of evil-doers righteous.

When they had had their throw, Moses said: "What ye have brought is sorcery: Allah will surely make it of no effect: for Allah prospereth not the work of those who make mischief.

10:82

وَ یُحِقُّ اللّٰهُ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمٰتِهٖ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ۠(۸۲)

God vindicates the truth by His commands, however the sinners may dislike it."

"And Allah by His words doth prove and establish His truth, however much the sinners may hate it!"

10:83

فَمَاۤ اٰمَنَ لِمُوْسٰۤى اِلَّا ذُرِّیَّةٌ مِّنْ قَوْمِهٖ عَلٰى خَوْفٍ مِّنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ مَلَاۡىٕهِمْ اَنْ یَّفْتِنَهُمْؕ-وَ اِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ لَعَالٍ فِی الْاَرْضِۚ-وَ اِنَّهٗ لَمِنَ الْمُسْرِفِیْنَ(۸۳)

But none of them put faith in Moses except some youths among his people who were nonetheless afraid lest the Pharaoh and his nobles should persecute them; for the Pharaoh was mighty in the land, and guilty of excesses.

But none believed in Moses except some children of his people, because of the fear of Pharaoh and his chiefs, lest they should persecute them; and certainly Pharaoh was mighty on the earth and one who transgressed all bounds.

10:84

وَ قَالَ مُوْسٰى یٰقَوْمِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ اٰمَنْتُمْ بِاللّٰهِ فَعَلَیْهِ تَوَكَّلُوْۤا اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمِیْنَ(۸۴)

Moses said: "O my people, if you do believe in God place your trust in Him if you are obedient."

Moses said: "O my people! If ye do (really) believe in Allah, then in Him put your trust if ye submit (your will to His)."

10:85

فَقَالُوْا عَلَى اللّٰهِ تَوَكَّلْنَاۚ-رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِّلْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِیْنَۙ(۸۵)

They answered: "We have placed our trust in God. O Lord, do not make us a target of oppression for these tyrannical people,

They said: "In Allah do we put out trust. Our Lord! make us not a trial for those who practise oppression;

10:86

وَ نَجِّنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ(۸۶)

And deliver us by Your grace from a people who do not believe."

"And deliver us by Thy Mercy from those who reject (Thee)."

10:87

وَ اَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلٰى مُوْسٰى وَ اَخِیْهِ اَنْ تَبَوَّاٰ لِقَوْمِكُمَا بِمِصْرَ بُیُوْتًا وَّ اجْعَلُوْا بُیُوْتَكُمْ قِبْلَةً وَّ اَقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَؕ-وَ بَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ(۸۷)

We commanded Moses and his brother: "Build homes for your people in Egypt, and make your houses places of worship, perform your acts of prayer and give happy tidings to those who believe."

We inspired Moses and his brother with this Message: "Provide dwellings for your people in Egypt, make your dwellings into places of worship, and establish regular prayers: and give glad tidings to those who believe!"

10:88

وَ قَالَ مُوْسٰى رَبَّنَاۤ اِنَّكَ اٰتَیْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ مَلَاَهٗ زِیْنَةً وَّ اَمْوَالًا فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَاۙ-رَبَّنَا لِیُضِلُّوْا عَنْ سَبِیْلِكَۚ-رَبَّنَا اطْمِسْ عَلٰۤى اَمْوَالِهِمْ وَ اشْدُدْ عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ فَلَا یُؤْمِنُوْا حَتّٰى یَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الْاَلِیْمَ(۸۸)

And Moses said: "O Lord, have You bestowed on the Pharaoh and his nobles pomp and plenty in the life of this world that they might mislead people from Your path? Destroy their possessions, O Lord, and harden their hearts that they may not believe until they face the painful punishment."

Moses prayed: "Our Lord! Thou hast indeed bestowed on Pharaoh and his chiefs splendour and wealth in the life of the present, and so, Our Lord, they mislead (men) from Thy Path. Deface, our Lord, the features of their wealth, and send hardness to their hearts, so they will not believe until they see the grievous penalty."

10:89

قَالَ قَدْ اُجِیْبَتْ دَّعْوَتُكُمَا فَاسْتَقِیْمَا وَ لَا تَتَّبِعٰٓنِّ سَبِیْلَ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ(۸۹)

Said (the Lord): "Your prayer is answered. Therefore persist and do not follow the path of those who are ignorant."

Allah said: "Accepted is your prayer (O Moses and Aaron)! So stand ye straight, and follow not the path of those who know not."

10:90

وَ جَاوَزْنَا بِبَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ الْبَحْرَ فَاَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ وَ جُنُوْدُهٗ بَغْیًا وَّ عَدْوًاؕ-حَتّٰۤى اِذَاۤ اَدْرَكَهُ الْغَرَقُۙ-قَالَ اٰمَنْتُ اَنَّهٗ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا الَّذِیْۤ اٰمَنَتْ بِهٖ بَنُوْۤا اِسْرَآءِیْلَ وَ اَنَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِیْنَ(۹۰)

And We brought the people of Israel across the sea, but the Pharaoh and his army pursued them wickedly and maliciously till he was on the point of drowning, and he said: "I believe that there is no god but He in whom the people of Israel believe, and I submit to Him."

We took the Children of Israel across the sea: Pharaoh and his hosts followed them in insolence and spite. At length, when overwhelmed with the flood, he said: "I believe that there is no god except Him Whom the Children of Israel believe in: I am of those who submit (to Allah in Islam)."

10:91

ﰰ لْــٴٰـنَ وَ قَدْ عَصَیْتَ قَبْلُ وَ كُنْتَ مِنَ الْمُفْسِدِیْنَ(۹۱)

"Yes, now" (was the answer), "though before this you were disobedient and rebellious.

(It was said to him): "Ah now!- But a little while before, wast thou in rebellion!- and thou didst mischief (and violence)!

10:92

فَالْیَوْمَ نُنَجِّیْكَ بِبَدَنِكَ لِتَكُوْنَ لِمَنْ خَلْفَكَ اٰیَةًؕ-وَ اِنَّ كَثِیْرًا مِّنَ النَّاسِ عَنْ اٰیٰتِنَا لَغٰفِلُوْنَ۠(۹۲)

We shall preserve your body today that you may be a lesson for those who come after you; as many a man is heedless of Our signs."

"This day shall We save thee in the body, that thou mayest be a sign to those who come after thee! but verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Signs!"

10:93

وَ لَقَدْ بَوَّاْنَا بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ مُبَوَّاَ صِدْقٍ وَّ رَزَقْنٰهُمْ مِّنَ الطَّیِّبٰتِۚ-فَمَا اخْتَلَفُوْا حَتّٰى جَآءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُؕ-اِنَّ رَبَّكَ یَقْضِیْ بَیْنَهُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ فِیْمَا كَانُوْا فِیْهِ یَخْتَلِفُوْنَ(۹۳)

We gave the people of Israel a settled abode, and bestowed good things on them to eat and use. So they did not differ until they came to have knowledge. Your Lord will assuredly settle their differences on the Day of Resurrection.

We settled the Children of Israel in a beautiful dwelling-place, and provided for them sustenance of the best: it was after knowledge had been granted to them, that they fell into schisms. Verily Allah will judge between them as to the schisms amongst them, on the Day of Judgment.

10:94

فَاِنْ كُنْتَ فِیْ شَكٍّ مِّمَّاۤ اَنْزَلْنَاۤ اِلَیْكَ فَسْــٴَـلِ الَّذِیْنَ یَقْرَءُوْنَ الْكِتٰبَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَۚ-لَقَدْ جَآءَكَ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَرِیْنَۙ(۹۴)

If you are in doubt of what We have sent down to you, then ask those who have been reading the Book (for a long time) before you. The truth has indeed come to you from your Lord, so do not be one of those who doubt,

If thou wert in doubt as to what We have revealed unto thee, then ask those who have been reading the Book from before thee: the Truth hath indeed come to thee from thy Lord: so be in no wise of those in doubt.

10:95

وَ لَا تَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ فَتَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْخٰسِرِیْنَ(۹۵)

And do not be one of those who deny the signs of God, or you will be among the losers.

Nor be of those who reject the signs of Allah, or thou shalt be of those who perish.

10:96

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ حَقَّتْ عَلَیْهِمْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَۙ(۹۶)

Verily those against whom the word of your Lord is pronounced will never believe,

Those against whom the word of thy Lord hath been verified would not believe-

10:97

وَ لَوْ جَآءَتْهُمْ كُلُّ اٰیَةٍ حَتّٰى یَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الْاَلِیْمَ(۹۷)

Even though all the signs came to them, not till they face the grievous punishment.

Even if every Sign was brought unto them,- until they see (for themselves) the penalty grievous.

10:98

فَلَوْ لَا كَانَتْ قَرْیَةٌ اٰمَنَتْ فَنَفَعَهَاۤ اِیْمَانُهَاۤ اِلَّا قَوْمَ یُوْنُسَؕ-لَمَّاۤ اٰمَنُوْا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمْ عَذَابَ الْخِزْیِ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا وَ مَتَّعْنٰهُمْ اِلٰى حِیْنٍ(۹۸)

Why has there been no habitation that believed and profited by their faith, except the people of Jonah? When they came to believe, We removed from them the affliction of shame in the world, and made them prosperous for a time.

Why was there not a single township (among those We warned), which believed,- so its faith should have profited it,- except the people of Jonah? When they believed, We removed from them the penalty of ignominy in the life of the present, and permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.

10:99

وَ لَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ لَاٰمَنَ مَنْ فِی الْاَرْضِ كُلُّهُمْ جَمِیْعًاؕ-اَفَاَنْتَ تُكْرِهُ النَّاسَ حَتّٰى یَكُوْنُوْا مُؤْمِنِیْنَ(۹۹)

If your Lord had willed, all the people on the earth would have come to believe, one and all.

If it had been thy Lord's will, they would all have believed,- all who are on earth! wilt thou then compel mankind, against their will, to believe!

10:100

وَ مَا كَانَ لِنَفْسٍ اَنْ تُؤْمِنَ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِؕ-وَ یَجْعَلُ الرِّجْسَ عَلَى الَّذِیْنَ لَا یَعْقِلُوْنَ(۱۰۰)

Are you going to compel the people to believe except by God´s dispensation? He puts doubt in (the minds of) those who do not think.

No soul can believe, except by the will of Allah, and He will place doubt (or obscurity) on those who will not understand.

10:101

قُلِ انْظُرُوْا مَا ذَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِؕ-وَ مَا تُغْنِی الْاٰیٰتُ وَ النُّذُرُ عَنْ قَوْمٍ لَّا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ(۱۰۱)

Say: "Observe all there is in the heavens and the earth." But signs or warnings will be of no avail to those who do not believe.

Say: "Behold all that is in the heavens and on earth"; but neither Signs nor Warners profit those who believe not.

10:102

فَهَلْ یَنْتَظِرُوْنَ اِلَّا مِثْلَ اَیَّامِ الَّذِیْنَ خَلَوْا مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْؕ-قُلْ فَانْتَظِرُوْۤا اِنِّیْ مَعَكُمْ مِّنَ الْمُنْتَظِرِیْنَ(۱۰۲)

Can they expect anything but what the people before them had known? Say: "Then wait. I am waiting with you."

Do they then expect (any thing) but (what happened in) the days of the men who passed away before them? Say: "Wait ye then: for I, too, will wait with you."

10:103

ثُمَّ نُنَجِّیْ رُسُلَنَا وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا كَذٰلِكَۚ-حَقًّا عَلَیْنَا نُنْجِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ۠(۱۰۳)

Thus do We deliver our apostles and those who believe. As a matter of duty We save the believers.

In the end We deliver Our messengers and those who believe: Thus is it fitting on Our part that We should deliver those who believe!

10:104

قُلْ یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ فِیْ شَكٍّ مِّنْ دِیْنِیْ فَلَاۤ اَعْبُدُ الَّذِیْنَ تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَ لٰكِنْ اَعْبُدُ اللّٰهَ الَّذِیْ یَتَوَفّٰىكُمْ ۚۖ-وَ اُمِرْتُ اَنْ اَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَۙ(۱۰۴)

Say: "O men, if you have doubt about my faith, then (know) I do not worship those you worship apart from God, but I worship God who makes you die; and I am commanded to be a believer,

Say: "O ye men! If ye are in doubt as to my religion, (behold!) I worship not what ye worship, other than Allah! But I worship Allah - Who will take your souls (at death): I am commanded to be (in the ranks) of the Believers,

10:105

وَ اَنْ اَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّیْنِ حَنِیْفًاۚ-وَ لَا تَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ(۱۰۵)

And to set my face toward the way, as one upright, and not be one of those who associate others with God.

"And further (thus): 'set thy face towards religion with true piety, and never in any wise be of the Unbelievers;

10:106

وَ لَا تَدْعُ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا یَنْفَعُكَ وَ لَا یَضُرُّكَۚ-فَاِنْ فَعَلْتَ فَاِنَّكَ اِذًا مِّنَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ(۱۰۶)

And not to invoke any other than God, who can neither help nor hurt me; for if I do, I would surely be unjust.

"'Nor call on any, other than Allah;- Such will neither profit thee nor hurt thee: if thou dost, behold! thou shalt certainly be of those who do wrong.'"

10:107

وَ اِنْ یَّمْسَسْكَ اللّٰهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهٗۤ اِلَّا هُوَۚ-وَ اِنْ یُّرِدْكَ بِخَیْرٍ فَلَا رَآدَّ لِفَضْلِهٖؕ-یُصِیْبُ بِهٖ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖؕ-وَ هُوَ الْغَفُوْرُ الرَّحِیْمُ(۱۰۷)

Should God bring you harm there is none but He who could deliver you from it, and if He wish you good there is none who could take away His blessings: He showers them on those of His creatures as He please, and He is forgiving and kind."

If Allah do touch thee with hurt, there is none can remove it but He: if He do design some benefit for thee, there is none can keep back His favour: He causeth it to reach whomsoever of His servants He pleaseth. And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

10:108

قُلْ یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَآءَكُمُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكُمْۚ-فَمَنِ اهْتَدٰى فَاِنَّمَا یَهْتَدِیْ لِنَفْسِهٖۚ-وَ مَنْ ضَلَّ فَاِنَّمَا یَضِلُّ عَلَیْهَاۚ-وَ مَاۤ اَنَا عَلَیْكُمْ بِوَكِیْلٍؕ(۱۰۸)

Say: "O men, the truth has come to you from your Lord, so he who follows the right path does so for himself, and he who goes astray errs against himself, and I am not a guardian over you.

Say: "O ye men! Now Truth hath reached you from your Lord! those who receive guidance, do so for the good of their own souls; those who stray, do so to their own loss: and I am not (set) over you to arrange your affairs."

10:109

وَ اتَّبِـعْ مَا یُوْحٰۤى اِلَیْكَ وَ اصْبِرْ حَتّٰى یَحْكُمَ اللّٰهُ ۚۖ-وَ هُوَ خَیْرُ الْحٰكِمِیْنَ۠(۱۰۹)

Follow what is revealed to you, and persist until God pronounce His judgement; for He is the best of all judges."

Follow thou the inspiration sent unto thee, and be patient and constant, till Allah do decide: for He is the best to decide.
