[10:98]
If only there had been a community (of all those
that were destroyed of old) that believed and profited by its belief as did the
folk of Jonah! When they believed We drew off from
them the torment of disgrace in the life of the world and gave them comfort for
a while.
[10:99]
And if thy Lord willed, all who are in the earth
would have believed together. Wouldst thou (Muhammad) compel men until they are
believers ?
[10:100]
It is not for any soul to believe save by the
permission of Allah. He hath set uncleanness upon those who have no sense.
[10:101]
Say: Behold what is in the heavens and the
earth! But revelations and warnings avail not folk who will not believe.
[10:102]
What expect they save the like of the days of
those who passed away before them ? Say: Expect then!
I am with you among the expectant.
[10:103]
Then shall We save Our
messengers and the believers, in like manner (as of old). It is incumbent upon Us to save believers.
[10:104]
Say (O Muhammad): O mankind! If ye are in doubt
of my religion, then (know that) I worship not those whom ye worship instead of
Allah, but I worship Allah Who causeth you to die, and
I have been commanded to be of the believers.
[10:105]
And, (O Muhammad) set thy purpose resolutely for
religion, as a man by nature upright, and be not of
those who ascribe partners (to Allah).
[10:106]
And cry not, beside Allah, unto that which
cannot profit thee nor hurt thee, for if thou didst so then wert thou of the
wrong-doers.
