| Sura - 72 Jinns | |||
| In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful | |||
| 1 | [ 72: 1 ] Say, " I was inspired that a group of jinns listened, then said, `We have heard a wonderful Quran. | ||
| 2 | [ 72: 2 ] " `It guides to righteousness, and we have believed in it; we will never set up any idols beside our Lord. | ||
| 3 | [ 72: 3 ] " `The Most High is our only Lord. He never had a mate, nor a son. | ||
| 4 | [ 72: 4 ] " `It is the foolish among us who used to utter such nonsense about GOD. | ||
| 5 | [ 72: 5 ] " `We thought that neither the humans, nor the jinns, could possibly utter lies about GOD. | ||
| 6 | [ 72: 6 ] " `Human beings used to seek power through jinn beings, but they only afflicted them with a lot of adversity. | ||
| 7 | [ 72: 7 ] " `They thought, just like you thought, that GOD would not send another ( messenger ). | ||
| 8 | [ 72: 8 ] " `We touched the heaven and found it filled with formidable guards and projectiles. | ||
| 9 | [ 72: 9 ] " `We used to sit there in order to spy. Anyone who listens is pursued by a powerful projectile. | ||
| 10 | [ 72: 10 ] " `We have no idea if something bad is intended for the inhabitants of Earth, or if their Lord wills to redeem them. | ||
| 11 | [ 72: 11 ] " `Some of us are righteous, and some are less than righteous; we follow various paths. | ||
| 12 | [ 72: 12 ] " `We knew full well that we can never run away from GOD on Earth; we can never run away and escape. | ||
| 13 | [ 72: 13 ] " `When we heard the guidance, we believed therein. Anyone who believes in his Lord will never fear any injustice, nor any affliction. | ||
| 14 | [ 72: 14 ] " `Among us are the submitters, and among us are the compromisers.' " As for those who submitted, they are on the right path. | ||
| 15 | [ 72: 15 ] As for the compromisers, they will be fuel for Gehenna. | ||
| 16 | [ 72: 16 ] If they remain on the right path, we will bless them with abundant water. | ||
| 17 | [ 72: 17 ] We will surely test them all. As for him who disregards the message of his Lord, He will direct him to ever increasing retribution. | ||
| 18 | [ 72: 18 ] The places of worship belong to GOD; do not call on anyone else beside GOD. | ||
| 19 | [ 72: 19 ] When GOD's servant advocated Him alone, almost all of them banded together to oppose him. | ||
| 20 | [ 72: 20 ] Say, " I worship only my Lord; I never set up any idols beside Him. " | ||
| 21 | [ 72: 21 ] Say, " I possess no power to harm you, nor to guide you. " | ||
| 22 | [ 72: 22 ] Say, " No one can protect me from GOD, nor can I find any other refuge beside Him. | ||
| 23 | [ 72: 23 ] " I deliver GOD's proclamations and messages. " Those who disobey GOD and His messenger incur the fire of Hell, wherein they abide forever. | ||
| 24 | [ 72: 24 ] Once they see what is awaiting them, they will find out who is really weaker in power, and fewer in number. | ||
| 25 | [ 72: 25 ] Say, " I do not know if what is promised to you will happen soon, or if my Lord will delay it for awhile. " | ||
| 26 | [ 72: 26 ] He is the Knower of the future; He does not reveal the future to anyone. | ||
| 27 | [ 72: 27 ] Only to a messenger that He chooses, does He reveal from the past and the future, specific news. | ||
| 28 | [ 72: 28 ] This is to ascertain that they have delivered their Lord's messages. He is fully aware of what they have. He has counted the numbers of all things. | ||
