The Holy Quran 10:11 — Surah Yunus

Arabic text

۞ وَلَوْ يُعَجِّلُ ٱللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ ٱلشَّرَّ ٱسْتِعْجَالَهُم بِٱلْخَيْرِ لَقُضِىَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَجَلُهُمْ ۖ فَنَذَرُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَآءَنَا فِى طُغْيَـٰنِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ

Translation

If Allaah rushes (sends quickly) evil to people as they want good to rush (come quickly) their way, their term (of punishment) would have expired for them (they would have been destroyed long ago by Allaah's punishment because of their sins). We shall leave those who do not wish to meet Us to wander blindly (confused) in their disobedience (unable to see the truth).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
