| Surah 72. Al-Jinn | |||
| 1 | Say ( O Muhammad ): It is revealed unto me that a company of the Jinn gave ear, and they said: Lo! it is a marvellous Qur’an, | ||
| 2 | Which guideth unto righteousness, so we believe in it and we ascribe unto our Lord no partner. | ||
| 3 | And ( we believe ) that He, exalted be the glory of our Lord! hath taken neither wife nor son, | ||
| 4 | And that the foolish one among us used to speak concerning Allah an atrocious lie. | ||
| 5 | And lo! we had supposed that humankind and jinn would not speak a lie concerning Allah | ||
| 6 | And indeed ( O Muhammad ) individuals of humankind used to invoke the protection of individuals of the jinn so that they increased them in revolt ( against Allah ); | ||
| 7 | And indeed they supposed, even as ye suppose, that Allah would not raise anyone ( from the dead ) | ||
| 8 | And ( the Jinn who had listened to the Qur’an said ): We had sought the heaven but had found it filled with strong warders and meteors. | ||
| 9 | And we used to sit on places ( high ) therein to listen. But he who listened now findeth a flame in wait for him; | ||
| 10 | And we know not whether harm is boded unto all who are in the earth, or whether their Lord intendeth guidance for them. | ||
| 11 | And among us there are righteous folk and among us there are far from that. We are sects having different rules. | ||
| 12 | And we know that we cannot escape from Allah in the earth, nor can we escape by flight. | ||
| 13 | And when we heard the guidance, we believed therein, and whoso believeth in his Lord, he feareth neither loss nor oppression. | ||
| 14 | And there are among us some who have surrendered ( to Allah ) and there are among us some who are unjust. And whoso hath surrendered to Allah, such have taken the right path purposefully. | ||
| 15 | And as for those who are unjust, they are firewood for hell. | ||
| 16 | If they ( the idolaters ) tread the right path, We shall give them to drink of water in abundance | ||
| 17 | That We may test them thereby, and whoso turneth away from the remembrance of his Lord; He will thrust him into ever growing torment. | ||
| 18 | And the places of worship are only for Allah, so pray not unto anyone along with Allah. | ||
| 19 | And when the slave of Allah stood up in prayer to Him, they crowded on him, almost stifling.' | ||
| 20 | Say ( unto them, O Muhammad ): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner. | ||
| 21 | Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you. | ||
| 22 | Say: Lo! none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find any refuge beside Him | ||
| 23 | ( Mine is ) but conveyance ( of the truth ) from Allah, and His messages; and whoso disobeyeth Allah and His messenger, lo! his is fire of hell, wherein such dwell forever. | ||
| 24 | Till ( the day ) when they shall behold that which they are promised ( they may doubt ); but then they will know for certain ) who is weaker in allies and less in multitude. | ||
| 25 | Say ( O Muhammad, unto the disbelievers ): I know not whether that which ye are promised is nigh, or if my Lord hath set a distant term for it. | ||
| 26 | ( He is ) the knower of the Unseen, and He revealeth unto none His secret, | ||
| 27 | Save unto every messenger whom he hath chosen, and then He maketh a guard to go before him and a guard behind him | ||
| 28 | That He may know that they have indeed conveyed the messages of their Lord. He surroundeth all their doings, and He keepeth count of all things. | ||
