بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحيمِ

In the name of The God, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

Al-Jinn 72:1

قُل أوحِىَ إِلَىَّ أَنَّهُ استَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الجِنِّ فَقالوا إِنّا سَمِعنا قُرءانًا عَجَبًا

Say, “It has been revealed to me that a group of jinn listened and said: We have heard a wondrous Quran,

Al-Jinn 72:2

يَهدى إِلَى الرُّشدِ فَـٔامَنّا بِهِ ۖ وَلَن نُشرِكَ بِرَبِّنا أَحَدًا

which guides to right conduct, so we believed in it. We will never associate anyone with our Lord.

Al-Jinn 72:3

وَأَنَّهُ تَعٰلىٰ جَدُّ رَبِّنا مَا اتَّخَذَ صٰحِبَةً وَلا وَلَدًا

Exalted is our Lord’s majesty; He has taken neither a spouse nor a child.

Al-Jinn 72:4

وَأَنَّهُ كانَ يَقولُ سَفيهُنا عَلَى اللَّهِ شَطَطًا

The foolish one among us used to say outrageous things about The God.

Al-Jinn 72:5

وَأَنّا ظَنَنّا أَن لَن تَقولَ الإِنسُ وَالجِنُّ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا

We had thought that humans and jinn would never speak a lie about The God.

Al-Jinn 72:6

وَأَنَّهُ كانَ رِجالٌ مِنَ الإِنسِ يَعوذونَ بِرِجالٍ مِنَ الجِنِّ فَزادوهُم رَهَقًا

Men from humankind used to seek refuge with men from the jinn, and they increased them in distress.

Al-Jinn 72:7

وَأَنَّهُم ظَنّوا كَما ظَنَنتُم أَن لَن يَبعَثَ اللَّهُ أَحَدًا

They thought, as you thought, that The God would never raise anyone.

Al-Jinn 72:8

وَأَنّا لَمَسنَا السَّماءَ فَوَجَدنٰها مُلِئَت حَرَسًا شَديدًا وَشُهُبًا

We sought out the sky and found it filled with stern guards and flaming meteors.

Al-Jinn 72:9

وَأَنّا كُنّا نَقعُدُ مِنها مَقٰعِدَ لِلسَّمعِ ۖ فَمَن يَستَمِعِ الـٔانَ يَجِد لَهُ شِهابًا رَصَدًا

We used to sit in places there to listen, but whoever listens now finds a flaming meteor lying in wait for him.

Al-Jinn 72:10

وَأَنّا لا نَدرى أَشَرٌّ أُريدَ بِمَن فِى الأَرضِ أَم أَرادَ بِهِم رَبُّهُم رَشَدًا

We do not know whether harm is intended for those on earth, or whether their Lord intends right guidance for them.

Al-Jinn 72:11

وَأَنّا مِنَّا الصّٰلِحونَ وَمِنّا دونَ ذٰلِكَ ۖ كُنّا طَرائِقَ قِدَدًا

Some of us are righteous, and some of us are otherwise; we have followed differing paths.

Al-Jinn 72:12

وَأَنّا ظَنَنّا أَن لَن نُعجِزَ اللَّهَ فِى الأَرضِ وَلَن نُعجِزَهُ هَرَبًا

We realized that we cannot thwart The God on earth, nor can we thwart Him by fleeing.

Al-Jinn 72:13

وَأَنّا لَمّا سَمِعنَا الهُدىٰ ءامَنّا بِهِ ۖ فَمَن يُؤمِن بِرَبِّهِ فَلا يَخافُ بَخسًا وَلا رَهَقًا

When we heard the guidance, we believed in it. Whoever believes in his Lord fears neither deprivation nor oppression.

Al-Jinn 72:14

وَأَنّا مِنَّا المُسلِمونَ وَمِنَّا القٰسِطونَ ۖ فَمَن أَسلَمَ فَأُولٰئِكَ تَحَرَّوا رَشَدًا

Some of us submit, and some of us turn aside from right. Those who submit have sought right guidance.

Al-Jinn 72:15

وَأَمَّا القٰسِطونَ فَكانوا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا

As for those who turn aside from right, they will be firewood for Hell.”

Al-Jinn 72:16

وَأَلَّوِ استَقٰموا عَلَى الطَّريقَةِ لَأَسقَينٰهُم ماءً غَدَقًا

If they remained upright on the way, We would give them abundant water to drink,

Al-Jinn 72:17

لِنَفتِنَهُم فيهِ ۚ وَمَن يُعرِض عَن ذِكرِ رَبِّهِ يَسلُكهُ عَذابًا صَعَدًا

to test them through it. Whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, He will put him into a grueling punishment.

Al-Jinn 72:18

وَأَنَّ المَسٰجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلا تَدعوا مَعَ اللَّهِ أَحَدًا

The places of worship belong to The God, so do not call upon anyone with The God.

Al-Jinn 72:19

وَأَنَّهُ لَمّا قامَ عَبدُ اللَّهِ يَدعوهُ كادوا يَكونونَ عَلَيهِ لِبَدًا

When the servant of The God stood up to call upon Him, they almost crowded upon him in a mass.

Al-Jinn 72:20

قُل إِنَّما أَدعوا رَبّى وَلا أُشرِكُ بِهِ أَحَدًا

Say, “I call only upon my Lord and associate no one with Him.”

Al-Jinn 72:21

قُل إِنّى لا أَملِكُ لَكُم ضَرًّا وَلا رَشَدًا

Say, “I have no power to bring you harm or right guidance.”

Al-Jinn 72:22

قُل إِنّى لَن يُجيرَنى مِنَ اللَّهِ أَحَدٌ وَلَن أَجِدَ مِن دونِهِ مُلتَحَدًا

Say, “No one will shelter me from The God, and I will find no refuge apart from Him,

Al-Jinn 72:23

إِلّا بَلٰغًا مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرِسٰلٰتِهِ ۚ وَمَن يَعصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسولَهُ فَإِنَّ لَهُ نارَ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدينَ فيها أَبَدًا

except conveying from The God and His messages. Whoever disobeys The God and His messenger will have the fire of Hell, remaining in it forever.”

Al-Jinn 72:24

حَتّىٰ إِذا رَأَوا ما يوعَدونَ فَسَيَعلَمونَ مَن أَضعَفُ ناصِرًا وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدًا

When they see what they are promised, they will know whose helpers are weaker and whose numbers are fewer.

Al-Jinn 72:25

قُل إِن أَدرى أَقَريبٌ ما توعَدونَ أَم يَجعَلُ لَهُ رَبّى أَمَدًا

Say, “I do not know whether what you are promised is near, or whether my Lord will set a term for it.”

Al-Jinn 72:26

عٰلِمُ الغَيبِ فَلا يُظهِرُ عَلىٰ غَيبِهِ أَحَدًا

He knows the unseen and discloses His unseen to no one,

Al-Jinn 72:27

إِلّا مَنِ ارتَضىٰ مِن رَسولٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَسلُكُ مِن بَينِ يَدَيهِ وَمِن خَلفِهِ رَصَدًا

except a messenger whom He has chosen; then He places watchers before him and behind him,

Al-Jinn 72:28

لِيَعلَمَ أَن قَد أَبلَغوا رِسٰلٰتِ رَبِّهِم وَأَحاطَ بِما لَدَيهِم وَأَحصىٰ كُلَّ شَىءٍ عَدَدًا

so that He may know that they have conveyed their Lord’s messages. He encompasses what is with them and has counted everything in number.
