[10:15]
And when Our clear
revelations are recited unto them, they who look not for the meeting with Us
say: Bring a Lecture other than this, or change it. Say (O Muhammad): It is not
for me to change it of my accord. I only follow that which is inspired in me.
Lo! if I disobey my Lord I fear the retribution of an
awful Day.
[10:16]
Say: If Allah had so willed I should not have
recited it to you nor would He have made it known to you. I dwelt among you a
whole lifetime before it (came to me). Have ye then no sense
?
[10:17]
Who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a
lie concerning Allah and denieth His revelations ? Lo!
the guilty never are successful.
[10:18]
They worship beside Allah that which neither
hurteth them nor profiteth them, and they say: These are our intercessors with
Allah. Say: Would ye inform Allah of (something) that He knoweth not in the
heavens or in the earth ? Praised be He and High
Exalted above all that ye associate (with Him)!
[10:19]
Mankind were but one community; then they
differed; and had it not been for a word that had already gone forth from thy
Lord it had been judged between them in respect of that wherein they differ.
[10:20]
And they will say: If only a portent were sent down
upon him from his Lord! Then say, (O Muhammad): The Unseen belongeth to Allah.
So wait! Lo! I am waiting with you.
