Sura Yunus from 15 to 20


15. And when Our clear Verses are recited unto them, those who hope not for their meeting with Us, say: « Bring us a Qur’ân other than this, or change it. » Say ( O Muhammad ( saas ) ) : « It is not for me to change it on my own accord; I only follow that which is revealed unto me. Verily, I fear the torment of the Great Day ( i.e. the Day of Resurrection ) if I were to disobey my Lord. »
16. Say ( O Muhammad ( saas ) ) : « If Allâh had so willed, I should not have recited it to you nor would He have made it known to you. Verily, I have stayed amongst you a life time before this. Have you then no sense? »
17. So who does more wrong than he who forges a lie against Allâh or denies His Ayât ( proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc. ) ? Surely, the Mujrimûn ( criminals, sinners, disbelievers and polytheists ) will never be successful!
18. And they worship besides Allâh things that harm them not, nor profit them, and they say: « These are our intercessors with Allâh. » Say: « Do you inform Allâh of that which He knows not in the heavens and on the earth? » Glorified and Exalted is He above all that which they associate as partners ( with Him ) !
19. Mankind were but one community ( i.e. on one religion - Islâmic Monotheism ) , then they differed ( later ) ; and had not it been for a Word that went forth before from your Lord, it would have been settled between them regarding what they differed [ 1 ] .
20. And they say: « How is it that not a sign is sent down on him from his Lord? » Say: « The Unseen belongs to Allâh Alone, so wait you, verily, I am with you among those who wait ( for Allâh’s Judgement ) . »

[1] (V.10:19) Narrated Abu Hurairah (raa): The Prophet (saas) said, "Every child is born on Al-Fitrah [true faith of Islâmic Monotheism (i.e. to worship none but Allâh Alone)], but his parents convert him to Judaism or Christianity or Magianism, as an animal gives birth to a perfect baby animal. Do you find it mutilated?" (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.2, Hadith No.467). [See also the Qur’ân, Verse 30:30]
