72 - The Jinn | |
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. | |
| 1 | Say: It has been revealed to me that a party of the jinn listened, and they said: Surely we have heard a wonderful Quran, |
| 2 | Guiding to the right way, so we believe in it, and we will not set up any one with our Lord: |
| 3 | And that He-- exalted be the majesty of our Lord-- has not taken a consort, nor a son: |
| 4 | And that the foolish amongst us used to forge extravagant things against Allah |
| 5 | And that we thought that men and jinn did not utter a lie against Allah: |
| 6 | And that persons from among men used to seek refuge with persons from among jinn, so they increased them in wrongdoing: |
| 7 | And that they thought as you think, that Allah would not raise anyone: |
| 8 | And that we sought to reach heaven, but we found it filled with strong guards and flaming stars. |
| 9 | And that we used to sit in some of the sitting-places thereof to steal a hearing, but he who would (try to) listen now would find a flame lying in wait for him: |
| 10 | And that we know not whether evil is meant for those who are on earth or whether their Lord means to bring them good: |
| 11 | And that some of us are good and others of us are below that: we are sects following different ways: |
| 12 | And that we know that we cannot escape Allah in the earth, nor can we escape Him by flight: |
| 13 | And that when we heard the guidance, we believed in it; so whoever believes in his Lord, he should neither fear loss nor being overtaken (by disgrace): |
| 14 | And that some of us are those who submit, and some of us are the deviators; so whoever submits, these aim at the right way: |
| 15 | And as to the deviators, they are fuel of hell: |
| 16 | And that if they should keep to the (right) way, We would certainly give them to drink of abundant water, |
| 17 | So that We might try them with respect to it; and whoever turns aside from the reminder of his Lord, He will make him enter into an afflicting chastisement: |
| 18 | And that the mosques are Allah's, therefore call not upon any one with Allah: |
| 19 | And that when the servant of Allah stood up calling upon Him, they wellnigh crowded him (to death). |
| 20 | Say: I only call upon my Lord, and I do not associate any one with Him. |
| 21 | Say: I do not control for you evil or good. |
| 22 | Say: Surely no one can protect me against Allah, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge: |
| 23 | (It is) only a delivering (of communications) from Allah and His messages; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Apostle surely he shall have the fire of hell to abide therein for a long time. |
| 24 | Until when they see what they are threatened with, then shall they know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in number. |
| 25 | Say: I do not know whether that with which you are threatened be nigh or whether my Lord will appoint for it a term: |
| 26 | The Knower of the unseen! so He does not reveal His secrets to any, |
| 27 | Except to him whom He chooses as an apostle; for surely He makes a guard to march before him and after him, |
| 28 | So that He may know that they have truly delivered the messages of their Lord, and He encompasses what is with them and He records the number of all things. |
