10:21

وَإِذَآ And when أَذَقْنَا We let [the] mankind taste ٱلنَّاسَ We let [the] mankind taste رَحْمَةًۭ mercy مِّنۢ after بَعْدِ after ضَرَّآءَ adversity مَسَّتْهُمْ has touched them إِذَا behold لَهُم They have مَّكْرٌۭ a plot فِىٓ against ءَايَاتِنَا ۚ Our Verses قُلِ Say ٱللَّهُ Allah أَسْرَعُ (is) more swift مَكْرًا ۚ (in) planning إِنَّ Indeed رُسُلَنَا Our Messengers يَكْتُبُونَ write down مَا what تَمْكُرُونَ you plot ٢١

And when We give the people a taste of mercy after adversity has touched them, at once they conspire against Our verses. Say, "Allāh is swifter in strategy." Indeed, Our messengers [i.e., angels] record that which you conspire.

10:22

هُوَ He ٱلَّذِى (is) the One Who يُسَيِّرُكُمْ enables you to travel فِى in ٱلْبَرِّ the land وَٱلْبَحْرِ ۖ and the sea حَتَّىٰٓ until إِذَا when كُنتُمْ you are فِى in ٱلْفُلْكِ the ships وَجَرَيْنَ and they sail بِهِم with them بِرِيحٍۢ with a wind طَيِّبَةٍۢ good وَفَرِحُوا۟ and they rejoice بِهَا therein جَآءَتْهَا comes to it رِيحٌ a wind عَاصِفٌۭ stormy وَجَآءَهُمُ and comes to them ٱلْمَوْجُ the waves مِن from كُلِّ every مَكَانٍۢ place وَظَنُّوٓا۟ and they assume أَنَّهُمْ that they أُحِيطَ are surrounded بِهِمْ ۙ with them دَعَوُا۟ They call ٱللَّهَ Allah مُخْلِصِينَ sincerely لَهُ to Him ٱلدِّينَ (in) the religion لَئِنْ (saying), "If أَنجَيْتَنَا You save us مِنْ from هَـٰذِهِۦ this لَنَكُونَنَّ surely we will be مِنَ among ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ the thankful ٢٢

It is He who enables you to travel on land and sea until, when you are in ships and they sail with them by a good wind and they rejoice therein, there comes a storm wind and the waves come upon them from every place and they expect to be engulfed, they supplicate Allāh, sincere to Him in religion, "If You should save us from this, we will surely be among the thankful."

10:23

فَلَمَّآ But when أَنجَىٰهُمْ He saved them إِذَا behold هُمْ They يَبْغُونَ rebel فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth بِغَيْرِ without ٱلْحَقِّ ۗ [the] right يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O mankind ٱلنَّاسُ O mankind إِنَّمَا Only بَغْيُكُمْ your rebellion عَلَىٰٓ (is) against أَنفُسِكُم ۖ yourselves مَّتَـٰعَ (the) enjoyment ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ (of) the life ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ (of) the world ثُمَّ Then إِلَيْنَا to Us مَرْجِعُكُمْ (is) your return فَنُنَبِّئُكُم and We will inform you بِمَا of what كُنتُمْ you used (to) تَعْمَلُونَ do ٢٣

But when He saves them, at once they commit injustice upon the earth without right. O mankind, your injustice is only against yourselves, [being merely] the enjoyment of worldly life. Then to Us is your return, and We will inform you of what you used to do.

10:24

إِنَّمَا Only مَثَلُ (the) example ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ (of) the life ٱلدُّنْيَا (of) the world كَمَآءٍ (is) like (the) water أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ which We sent down مِنَ from ٱلسَّمَآءِ the sky فَٱخْتَلَطَ so absorbs بِهِۦ [with] it نَبَاتُ (the) plants ٱلْأَرْضِ (of) the earth مِمَّا from which يَأْكُلُ eat ٱلنَّاسُ the men وَٱلْأَنْعَـٰمُ and the cattle حَتَّىٰٓ until إِذَآ when أَخَذَتِ takes ٱلْأَرْضُ the earth زُخْرُفَهَا its adornment وَٱزَّيَّنَتْ and is beautified وَظَنَّ and think أَهْلُهَآ its people أَنَّهُمْ that they قَـٰدِرُونَ have the power عَلَيْهَآ over it أَتَىٰهَآ comes (to) it أَمْرُنَا Our command لَيْلًا (by) night أَوْ or نَهَارًۭا (by) day فَجَعَلْنَـٰهَا and We make it حَصِيدًۭا a harvest clean-mown كَأَن as if لَّمْ not تَغْنَ it had flourished بِٱلْأَمْسِ ۚ yesterday كَذَٰلِكَ Thus نُفَصِّلُ We explain ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ the Signs لِقَوْمٍۢ for a people يَتَفَكَّرُونَ who reflect ٢٤

The example of [this] worldly life is but like rain which We have sent down from the sky that the plants of the earth absorb - [those] from which men and livestock eat - until, when the earth has taken on its adornment and is beautified and its people suppose that they have capability over it, there comes to it Our command by night or by day, and We make it as a harvest, as if it had not flourished yesterday. Thus do We explain in detail the signs for a people who give thought.

10:25

وَٱللَّهُ And Allah يَدْعُوٓا۟ calls إِلَىٰ to دَارِ (the) Home ٱلسَّلَـٰمِ (of) the Peace وَيَهْدِى and guides مَن whom يَشَآءُ He wills إِلَىٰ to صِرَٰطٍۢ (the) straight path مُّسْتَقِيمٍۢ (the) straight path ٢٥

And Allāh invites to the Home of Peace [i.e., Paradise] and guides whom He wills to a straight path.
