Yunus 10:21
Jonah · Juz 11 · Page 211
وَإِذَآ أَذَقۡنَا ٱلنَّاسَ رَحۡمَةٗ مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتۡهُمۡ إِذَا لَهُم مَّكۡرٞ فِيٓ ءَايَاتِنَاۚ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ أَسۡرَعُ مَكۡرًاۚ إِنَّ رُسُلَنَا يَكۡتُبُونَ مَا تَمۡكُرُونَ 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.

Commentary on 10:21
٢١ – ﴿وَإِذَآ أَذَقۡنَا ٱلنَّاسَ رَحۡمَةٗ﴾ أي: فضلا ونعمة ﴿مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتۡهُمۡ﴾ أي : من بعد نائبة أصابتهم، كالرخاء بعد الشدة واليسر بعد العسر، والخصب بعد الجدب، والصحة بعد المرض، والغنى بعد الفقر، والأمن بعد الخوف ، ونحو ذلك ﴿ۡ إِذَا لَهُم مَّكۡرٞ فِيٓ ءَايَاتِنَاۚ﴾ بالاستهزاء والتكذيب بها، والطعن فيها والدفع لها ، وعدم الاعتداد بها، والسعي بها بالباطل ليدحضوا به الحق. ﴿قُلِ﴾ لهم : ﴿ٱللَّهُ أَسۡرَعُ مَكۡرًاۚ﴾ أي : أعجل عقوبة، وأشد استدراجا وإمهالا ، ثم أخذا ومجازاة ، جزاء لكم على مكركم السيء، فإنه لا يحيق المكر السيء إلا بأهله . وفيه إثبات صفة المكر لله عز وجل على ما يليق بجلاله وكماله وعظمته. ﴿إِنَّ رُسُلَنَا﴾ وهم: الملائكة الكرام الحفظة ﴿يَكۡتُبُونَ مَا تَمۡكُرُونَ﴾ [وفي قراءة : بالياء:(يمكرون)] ويحصيه الله عليكم ، ثم يجازيكم عليه أوفر الجزاء .و المكر : التدبير الخفي الذي يُفضي بالممكور به إلى ما لا يحتسبه و لا يتوقعه. و هو حسن و سيء ، و في حق الله تعالى صفة كمال مطلق.

10:22
هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُسَيِّرُكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡبَرِّ وَٱلۡبَحۡرِۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا كُنتُمۡ فِي ٱلۡفُلۡكِ وَجَرَيۡنَ بِهِم بِرِيحٖ طَيِّبَةٖ وَفَرِحُواْ بِهَا جَآءَتۡهَا رِيحٌ عَاصِفٞ وَجَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡجُ مِن كُلِّ مَكَانٖ وَظَنُّوٓاْ أَنَّهُمۡ أُحِيطَ بِهِمۡ دَعَوُاْ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ لَئِنۡ أَنجَيۡتَنَا مِنۡ هَٰذِهِۦ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ ٢٢
It is He who enables you to travel on land and sea until, when you are in ships and they sail with them1 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 أَنجَىٰهُمۡ إِذَا هُمۡ يَبۡغُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ بِغَيۡرِ ٱلۡحَقِّۗ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّمَا بَغۡيُكُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِكُمۖ مَّتَٰعَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۖ ثُمَّ إِلَيۡنَا مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ فَنُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٣
But when He saves them, at once they commit injustice1 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 مَثَلُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا كَمَآءٍ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَٱخۡتَلَطَ بِهِۦ نَبَاتُ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مِمَّا يَأۡكُلُ ٱلنَّاسُ وَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمُ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَخَذَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ زُخۡرُفَهَا وَٱزَّيَّنَتۡ وَظَنَّ أَهۡلُهَآ أَنَّهُمۡ قَٰدِرُونَ عَلَيۡهَآ أَتَىٰهَآ أَمۡرُنَا لَيۡلًا أَوۡ نَهَارٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهَا حَصِيدٗا كَأَن لَّمۡ تَغۡنَ بِٱلۡأَمۡسِۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لِقَوۡمٖ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ 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,1 as if it had not flourished yesterday. Thus do We explain in detail the signs for a people who give thought.

10:25
وَٱللَّهُ يَدۡعُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ دَارِ ٱلسَّلَٰمِ وَيَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ ٢٥
And Allāh invites to the Home of Peace [i.e., Paradise] and guides whom He wills to a straight path.
