The Qur'an (Oxford World's Classics)

10: 109
Jonah 135
heed Our signs.’ 93 We settled the Children of Israel in a good place
and provided good things as sustenance for them. It was only after
knowledge had come to them that they began to differ among themselves.
Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection
regarding their differences.
94 So if you [Prophet] are in doubt about what We have revealed to
you, ask those who have been reading the scriptures before you.
The Truth has come to you from your Lord, so be in no doubt
and do not deny God’s signs – 95 then you would become one of the
losers. 96 Those against whom your Lord’s sentence is passed will
not believe, 97 even if every sign comes to them, until they see the
agonizing torment. 98 If only a single town had believed and benefited
from its belief! Only Jonah’s people did so, and when they
believed, We relieved them of the punishment of disgrace in the life
of this world, and let them enjoy life for a time. 99 Had your Lord
willed, all the people on earth would have believed. So can you
[Prophet] compel people to believe? 100 No soul can believe except by
God’s will, and He brings disgrace on those who do not use their
reason. 101 Say, ‘Look at what is in the heavens and on the earth.’ But
what use are signs and warnings to people who will not believe?
102 What are they waiting for but the punishment that came to those
before them? Say, ‘Wait then, I am waiting too.’ 103 In the end We
shall save Our messengers and the believers. We take it upon Ourself
to save the believers.
104 [Prophet] say, ‘People, even if you are in doubt about my
religion, I do not worship those you worship other than God, but I
worship God who will cause you to die, and I am commanded to be a
believer.’ 105 [Prophet], set your face towards religion as a man of pure
faith. Do not be one of those who join partners with God; 106 do not
pray to any other [god] that can neither benefit nor harm you: if you
do, you will be one of the evildoers. 107 If God inflicts harm on you,
no one can remove it but Him, and if He intends good for you, no
one can turn His bounty away; He grants His bounty to any of His
servants He will. He is the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
108 Say, ‘People, the Truth has come to you from your Lord. Whoever
follows the right path follows it for his own good, and whoever strays
does so to his own loss: I am not your guardian.’ 109 [Prophet], follow
what is being revealed to you, and be steadfast until God gives His
judgement, for He is the Best of Judges.
