10.11 - And if Allah was to hasten for the people the evil as their desire of hastening the good, their term would have been ended for them. But We leave those, who do not desire Our meeting, in their unjust wandering blindly. 10.12 - And when affliction touches the human, he calls upon Us, whether lying on his side or sitting or standing; and when We remove from him his affliction, he continues as if he had never called upon Us to (remove) an affliction that touched him. Thus is decorated to the extravagant that which they used to do. 10.13 - And We have certainly destroyed generations before you when they were unjust. And their messengers had come to them with proofs, but they were not to believe. Thus do We reward the people who are criminals. 10.14 - Then We made you successors in the land after them that We see how you will do. 10.15 - And when Our signs are recited to them as proofs, those who desire not Our meeting say: Bring a Quran other than this or change it. Say: It is not for me to change it on my own accord, I only follow what is revealed to me; indeed, I fear if I disobey my Lord, the torture of a great day. 10.16 - Say: If Allah had willed, I would not have recited it to you, nor would He have made you aware of it; I have already lived between you a period before it. Will you not then understand? 10.17 - And who is more unjust than one who forges about Allah a lie or denies His signs? Indeed, the criminals will not succeed. 10.18 - And they worship other than Allah that which neither harms them nor benefits them, and they say: These are our intercessors with Allah. Say: Do you inform Allah of what He does not know in the heavens and the earth? Glory be to Him, and exalted is He above what they associate. 10.19 - And the people were not except a single nation, but they differed. And if not for a word that proceeded from your Lord, the matter would have been decided between them concerning that over which they differ. 10.20 - And they say: Why is a sign not sent down to him from his Lord? So say: The unseen is only for Allah, so wait; indeed, I am with you among those who wait.
